Well...it's been a few days...

I've treating this whole "car in the shop" thing as somewhat of an experiment. Can I live without a car of my own? Of course, the answer is yes; but would I like it? That answer would be no. Even though I haven't been driving my car that much since I moved to the D.C. area, it's still nice to have. Just being without her since Monday has me feigning for a cruise...

After all that, I still foresee the GTI going bye bye within a years time. I'm not sure if a refinance will get her payments down to what I want it to be. So, with school looming ever closer and closer each day, I think it's time to do something I haven't done yet...and that's buy used!

We'll see...

I knew it would happen

That I would join Twitter and not post on the blog as much. Well, at least that's what it appears is happening. In reality, not much is going on. I did finally drop my car off at the body shop today, so I should be car-less here for a week or more. I also wanted to share a picture from when my Grandparent's visited the weekend before last. It's a bit blurry, but you get the idea.

I could've used this last summer...

From Engadget:

"...(they) found an option to enable the "Find My iPhone" service in the MobileMe settings. Unfortunately, that's all we've got, but we wouldn't put it past Cupertino to build some me.com-linked location tracker that'd be the envy of Orwell himself -- hey, that'd be pretty useful if you accidentally left the mobile in a taxi."

Oh man.

It was only a matter of time

In the down time between hanging out with my Grandparent's yesterday, I went to Clarendon and made a quick purchase. You knew it was coming, and if you look at the Twitter feed, you may have already guessed it. Because when I got to hold one, I was sold.

Another cool video

I happen to really like the car too:


How's this for timing?

So everyone knows I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia, right? Well, after meeting with my other friend just last night for our little book club, I ran across an awesome deal. So, I do my daily check on Amazon, and see that the Deal of the Day is the 2 Narnia films on Blu-Ray for $30! That would normally be around the price of just one...needless to say the order has been placed. :)

Talk about strange timing though...

Can I see your ID?

Can you believe, I was actually carded when buying a video game today!? I'm actually glad to see this happening...and of course, stoked someone thought I looked too young to buy a "Mature"-rated game.

Twitter feed

So, I'm going to try the whole Twitter experiment. It's basically a website where you input whatever you're doing in order to update your friends. I placed a feed on the blog for now which you can find right above my picture.

Mom & Dad come to D.C.

Here's a few snapshots of our trip to the US Capitol yesterday.
