Buick previews 2 new models
Okay, that's wonderful, but 1) we know this, and 2) I highly doubt for the LAST year of this generation's production we're going to see a "level of elegance, refinement, quietness that's really very differently executed". Someone needs to take a deep breath and return to reality.... OOH! We're getting YET ANOTHER W-Body with the 5.3L V8! Yay! What'll surprise me? The 300hp version of the Northstar and a 6A under the hood. Not going to happen though.

....
If you look at the doors on the new Camry, it is possible for this to be a mid-size. I think part of the reason they look so huge is that they ride high up (the windows are not so tall).

Looks to have potential, although the camouflage works well to prevent me from seeing major lines.

2007 SRX Changes
I always liked the look of the SRX on the outside--the inside, well, it's a CTS, and that's not a good thing. Thank God it'll be fixed!

Interviewing...
LOL, I thought you were required to hate me because I'm from "North Shore Long Island", you southern boy! lolI never heard about this "animosity" until a couple of years ago--never knew some southshore schools hated the north, snobby shore! lol

Interviewing...
Thank you! I'm already receiving new offers of interviews and even my first rejection letter as of today LOL I swear, I'm reading the rejection letter (the interview SUCKED), and it's like, "You were wonderful, we loved you, we were floored by your expertise on the subject, BUT, you suck and you don't get to round 2." And as I was reading this, it was from the superintendent of the district--I never met her. Why is she the one mailing me the rejection letter... shouldn't the department chair write that and maybe include why the job didn't suite me? Whatever. I don't care--got me an AWESOME job!

Your enemies on C&G
Don't hate anyone here... dislike a few, but it doesn't get to me as this is just the internet and just like in life, you don't have to love everyone.

2007 SRX Changes
Okay.. these are GREAT changes! I'm very anxious to see pictures of the new interior. I have one comment... the SRX gets real wood interior, yet the more expensive, more luxurious, more desired Escalade gets plood?!

Guess Who!
Hey, BV, read "Entries of a Hot Pink Notebook" if you get a chance. It's a cool story about a main character, a closeted gay living in a household with family problems... he falls for his Social Studies teacher in the beginning of the book--well, I won't give any more away, but it's a cool read, and I guarantee you've felt many of the feelings he's felt (as I did), and can relate.

Interviewing...
Yup, got it -- signed the paperwork, very happy. It's funny, but without knowing why (and I can only assume the only Italian I heard in the house was Sicilian), I pronounce some words with a VERY slight Sicilian accent. A professor pointed out to my friend Giuseppe and I (the professor was a northerner, and didn't bring up the North/South feelings until a couple of Sicilians started getting into an argument with him), that we said "Professore" like a Sicilian would. Now, only to a trained ear could you hear the difference, but without realizing it, I said the first "o" in professore with an open sound, whereas, in Florentine (standard/book Italian), it is pronounced as a closed "o". To me, whenever someone says professore, I hear "professor", but I never really paid any attention t othe "o" sound... just knew the way Giuseppe said it sounded slightly different (but since he's a Sicilian (born and raised there)), it just sounded like "the way Giuseppe said it". He did the same thing, it was "the way Paolo said it."There was a time when my Italian was very pure sounding, but since I took a break between my bachelors and masters, I lost a bit of it. Only when I really get into a conversation do I get my "melody" back--in Italian, there is a certain "melody" as I call it, to the tune of the language--just the way it sounds, the way the voices go up and down in phrases, etc. In fact, I would chat with many people when I walked around different cities in Italy, and after telling them I was born/raised in the United States I've gotten compliments on the fluidity of my Italian.
