wow, i totally missed the month of april on this thing. so what's new since march 20th? let's think.

well, for one, i got my new car... meant to take pictures and post them, but i never got around to it. i did manage to find a picture on google:


i bought the car without ever seeing, sitting in, or driving it. in fact, i probably would have never heard of the car if not for an entry on kisrael.com. after reading the review and checking out specs online, i knew i'd love this car. and i do.

in other news, we moved to our new office at work... and to use the technical term, it's "bomb diggity". lots of plants, soft lighting, colorful walls.. and it's gonna look awesome in a couple weeks when we get the flatscreens. office aside, i'm quite satisfied with my job right now... it's like it was 3 years ago at gig, except this time there's actually concrete effects of me throwing myself into my work.


as for today, i'm heading to the airport around 4:30 to go to new york city. the last time i went there was on a high school jazz band trip 6 years ago. it was one of the best trips of my life, and it definitely captured that whole high school "i'm old enough to do things on my own but i don't really have any responsibilities" spirit. anyway, this trip will be a bit shorter... in fact it's really only one day there. but i'm excited, i like to travel.

ahh yeah, and how could i forget to post

.

anything else from the past month? ohh yeah! how could i forget, i got avril's new album... definitely a guilty pleasure. the cd consists mostly of pop songs that are so bad they're good. so pretty much like a lot of other music i like :D  there are a few really good songs/lyrics though, like this one:
"All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul."


 and with that, i'm out.. lots to do before my plane takes off.


"If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago."

Wow!

I'm, I dunno, somehow flattered that I was an initial enabler in such a virtual transaction!

Today, I might go for the Fit too, even though I don't dig its design quite as much as the Scion xA.

It's annoying, though, the dropped the xA for this thing
http://www.sphanish.autoblog.com/2007/02/08/chicago-auto-show-toyota-unveils-the-all-new-2008-scion-xd-w/
which I think loses the charm that the xA and Fit share.

(Their replacement for the old box xB seems to lose the charm too:
http://www.sphanish.autoblog.com/2007/02/08/chicago-auto-show-scions-xb-gets-bigger-and-less-boxy/ )

(Honestly, I'm not that much of a car-head, but just the other day I was bored and decided to click on that old autoblog site.)

Your NY trip sounds great. I am course am living in my year's jazz band trip's city Boston! It's weird driving past the hotel we stayed at.

eek! i definitely agree that the new scion lacks the "cute little efficient-looking car" appeal that the xA had.

for me, compact cars have such a draw to them... easily maneuvered, can fit in almost any parking spot, and (especially with the fit) still quite roomy on the inside! it seems paradoxical to me that my new car is smaller than my old car on the outside and bigger on the inside.

Agreed, especially about the parking spot issue! especially around Boston.

Plus, it just seems to be the appropriate amount of resource for the job.

In terms of room, yeah, the xA is surprisingly roomy! If you don't use a lot of room for the engine or trunk, and then don't have a need to scrunch down the roof, it turns out even a small car can be much roomier than most midsizes. (Or Jeeps, for that matter)

My guess is you made a very good choice w/ the Fit.

Whenever you cook a candle light dinner, you don't actually light the candles till AFTER the dinner is cooked. Therefore if the husband or wife gets home and sees the candles are already lit, the meal was already cooked.

Meaning somebody's in deep doodoo for getting him late. Wife or Husband probably got upset at the late arriving spouse and said something like, "You see those candles? That means the meal was cooked a long time ago!"

have you ever listened to "flight of the conchords"? it seems like a group that would thoroughly enjoy. one of the members particularly reminds me of you.

i emailed you a long while ago. maybe a few weeks...i'm not sure if you didn't get it or what. maybe i had the wrong address.

hey! oh nice. i want a red car : D.

lol will do. right now i'm listening to lindsay lohan's "beautiful life" -- have you heard it? if so, do you like it?

lol yeah spider-man 3 was good. tobey mcguire looks so good emo, lol.

HAHA. uumm i guess i've sorta found someone but i think he might be too old. we might in night school, he's 21, and i'm 18. do you think that's too much of a gap?

yes, signal fire rocks!

haha omg i can't wait for this week to be over, or just school in general so much stuff to do in may : (.

have a good thursday ; ).

hey!

lol aww you're so cute :P.

lol yes she does, but in spidey 3 her hair is more faded and closer to orange/blonde : (.

hmm yeah. some of my friends think it's too big of gap, others say it's fine and that older guys are better. he's VERY direct though. after asking for my number n email he asked me if i had a boyfriend, what my last one was like and everything. and last class when i was looking at his agenda he said, "if you want a date, just ask for one." haha. but the red flag thing is that he's "been with" 8 girls starting from when he was 18. is that a lot? lol.

lol yes i did! hehe and i got my prom ticket today! yes i have decided, I'm going to University of Toronto, it's nearby and yeah, it's a good one. : ).

Lol mee too! have a good weekend as well ; )
