Do you have any idea how much an apartment that size would COST on the Sun?

Why is everything I want out of print? I mean, that's obviously not ENTIRELY true, but it seems like, whenever I get into a band or author or whatever, part of their back catalog is always largely unavailable. I guess that makes sense with something like the Oz series, where most of the books were published in the first half of the twentieth century, and haven't been very popular since then. On the other hand, I've heard rumors that the more recent Minus 5 albums are actually selling fairly well (I'm not sure how true this is, but everything from Down with Wilco on seems pretty easy to find in regular music stores), yet their earlier ones remain out of print. There's probably more than one record company involved, but still, you might think they'd want to make those early works more easily available. That's just one example I could think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty of others.

In other bad news, the weather is getting colder, which is never good. Well, okay, it's probably good for nature in some way, but it isn't good for me. I've even heard suggestions that snow might not be far off. I hate snow. I used to like it all right when I was a kid, and I could build snowmen and such, but even then I couldn't stay outside for long before having to come back into the house. Now, about the only fun thing I can think of involving snow is watching it melt from my car windshield. When the most fun thing about something about something is destroying it, that says a lot. I suppose snow is pretty to look at if you know you won't have to go out in it, but how often does that happen? My hatred of cold is one reason I don't think I could ever live in Canada (the fact that I don't drink beer being another reason). Maybe I should move to the Sun, like in that They Might Be Giants song.
