Sometimes I'm prone to violence, it's in my chemistry
The current soundtrack of my life: Morningwood's Morningwood, Cobra Starship's Hot Mess, The Used's Artwork, and My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
One of these things is not like the others! I got the first three albums less than two months ago; I got Three Cheers two years ago. And yet! I never skip a Three Cheers track when it comes up. I still smile like an idiot and dance in my seat (or my lab) when Venom revs up. Or Prison. Or Give Em Hell. Or Deathwish, Helena, Hang Em, Not Okay. ANY OF THEM. This playlist makes every day sparkly, but that album is in my blood. It's really quite astonishing.
I think I might actually pass out when the new album arrives. *GRABBYHANDS*
I've been thinking a lot about buying a car. I've been reading reviews of the Camaro. They're largely raves, but the impression I'm left with is that it's very much a plaything, and the opposite of practical. The backseat is barely functional; the trunk can't even fit golf clubs. It's got a blind spot the size of Texas, and a windshield the size of a mail slot. All the reviews handwave this in favor of the throaty powerful V6 on the base model, the tight handling, the perfectly smooth rear suspension, and of COURSE the gorgeous styling. And while I think all of that would be fun as hell, I also would like to be able to see out of my car when I drive it! I'm considering as an option the 2010 Mustang. I've always considered the Mustang to be a more boring entry in the muscle class, but the newest model does have undeniably retro and somewhat sleek styling, and it's much more practical while still fun to drive. Also still cheap! Well, ish. I'd probably have to spring for the GT (V8) because by all accounts the V6 is pathetic. (Which is one of the best things about the Camaro, the great V6 - damn your hyper sexy and impractical styling!) So, not THAT cheap. And... it really is a lot more boring looking than the Camaro, which I currently have as my desktop in shiny midnight blue. WANT! :(
SIGH I DON'T KNOW. This is frustrating. Why does the perfect sexy and fun yet affordable, practical and safe American car not exist?!? :( I know I want a fun car, and I know I'm sick of my station wagon (though the fuel efficiency is pretty great...), but it's just kind of frustrating. Rar.
Maybe I'll wait and see what the 2011 Charger and Camaro bring... or consider getting a used foreign car, like the Nissan 370Z. Or the Mazda RX-8, Dom's sexy ride in the first FATF.
Sorry, wow. Car ramble! 95% of you have scrolled on. Sorry! I fail at being a girl. Ha.
I got actual RESULTS in the lab today!!!! Like, I found out something no one knew before! Isn't that exciting?! I'll get more results this week and then I'll actually have something to present in my talk at the end of the month! Yaye!
I'm going to put this post out of it's misery! Tomorrow will hopefully be fun, despite the forecast rain rain and more rain. I'm going out to lunch with a few girls I've met here, just as a fun way to break up the day on my bday, and maybe dinner with my family. Hopefully it'll be nice! I hope you all have a good Tuesday. ♥
