A New Car: I Has It

Recently I decided that it was only a matter of time before the Great Beast's reslae value would totally crater on me (it's 7 years old and had ovwe 110k miles on it, so yeah), and after a number of frustrating conversations with a number of dealers, I am the proud owner of a 2009 Civic. It's very blue, which is a color of car I've wanted for awhile, and while it's costimg more than I'd really rather pay, that's because I'm cheap as much as anything else. :)

I named it Serenity, and yes, the first thing I did after pulling onto the highway on my departure from the dealership was say "I am a leaf on the wind; watch how I soar."

Quote Of the Day

Mike, let me tell you something. The whole world is a circus if you know how to look at it. The way the sun goes down when you're tired, comes up when you want to be on the move. That's real magic. The way a leaf grows. The song of the birds. The way the desert looks at night, with the moon embracing it. Oh, my boy, that's... that's circus enough for anyone. Every time you watch a rainbow and feel wonder in your heart. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, you're part of the Circus of Dr. Lao.
