I bought a car on the 14th. My Daewoo broke down when I was driving home from work at 
10pm about 3 weeks before. The timing belt broke and bent the cylinders, which was going to cost more to fix than the car was worth. Big time suckfest. It was super fun calling for help (911), having the police call a tow truck, paying the guy, getting someone to take me home very late, finding out what was wrong with the car, paying for that, and towing it again! So, that cost a lot and then I spent most of my saved moolah on a cute little Honda Fit. I did lots of research and wanted a car with good gas mileage, but I can't afford a Prius, and this is probably one of the next best things. I'm into the cute little hatchbacks right now and this is the best reviewed and rated car in its class. I decided I wanted the Blackberry Pearl color, it's pretty! The night before I decided I wanted one I saw some pics and found info about the 09 version. They made some improvements that I am very interested in, and I considered waiting until an unannounced time (fall) for it to come out. But I needed a car now! Also, the price may go up and maybe I'll decide it's not worth it. So I went ahead with this. I'm very happy with it, I love it! Only one dealer in the entire NW had the color in when I was ready to buy, and only because it wasn't in the computer system. I felt the dealer in OR was lying to me and trying to screw me over. So I went up to Burien and bought the one that was ready to go.

Other than than, not much has been going on. An old man peed his pants on a flight a few weeks ago. That was disgusting. But perhaps better than poo?? Maybe not.
I'm going to NY in just under 2 weeks. I'm very excited, I've never been to the Big Apple!
