Talk Talk Talk

There's the Midnight Madness sale once again at Ayala center. Just a few years stateside and already I'd forgotten about that tradition. I never did look forward to it, and I always avoided the mall during Midnight Madness because of the hordes of people it attracts and because my comic books and CDs were never on sale anyway. Today I did find, however, a nice collection of all of Jane Austen's novels for P460-something, which for me is well worth it.

I went to the Mercedes dealer in the Fort to inquire about the final part we need to put the SL together. Turns out all our searching through third-party dealers was in vain. The Mercedes people can get us pretty much any part we might require. Doesn't come cheap though, over P15,000 for the glove compartment. That's one expensive box.

Some less self-centered developments: The IRA decided to dump their arms yesterday, which may very well lead to peace in Northern Ireland and the rest of that region up and over there. While I too am skeptical about how long this is going to last and if everyone in the army is on board from this, I sure hope it lasts. The world needs as much peace as it can get and I am very happy about this even though it doesn't affect me at all. I do hope the Middle East is next.
