This hurricane has me worried-Liz and a lot of people she's introduced me to are really close to it. Really the only thing keeping me from going nuts is that she hadn't updated for a few days before it happened either.
Everybody in that area: take care.
In other news: I have a new car. n.n Namely, it's an imperial blue Kia Spectra EX with a sunroof and some other goodies that came with it.
From the front.
The back...
Interior. The only real problem I have with the car is that the dashboard is set so far back that I have to reach my arm all the way out to get to the volume control.
The sunroof, which was rather hard to photograph. This is with it fully open; there's also a glass panel that can sit over it, which can be electronically retracted and lifted. If I want to shut it out entirely, there's a sliding piece of ceiling I can pull over it too.
My brother and sister got new cars too. Well, sort of. My brother wanted the above-pictured three-year-old Chrysler Sebring convertible; it was more expensive than the others, so he's actually sharing it with Mom until the lease on the van is up in two years.
My sister, by the way, got the same model as I did but in a much lighter silvery blue. It also has a spoiler, because they couldn't find one in the area in the right color and with a sunroof but no spoiler. (I didn't take a picture because she took it out to sleep over at a friend's house last night.)
Oh, and I ran out this morning and got a radio transmitter thing for my iPod. I'll probably get a little piece of velcro to attach it near the stereo.
