• On Saturday I went car shopping.  We went to Ford, Chrysler & GMC
  and saw alot of cars I didn't want.  In the end it's really a battle of
  me versus my parents.  I want the 2005 Ford
  Mustang but they don't like it because it has rear wheel
  drive(which means it's not that good in the snow).  My contention is,
  there are perhaps 3 days a year that it actually snows enough to be of
  concern.  They don't care.  The only other car that I liked was the
  2004
  Chevy Impala.  Here's my problem.  I want the Mustang.  Any
  other car feels like I'm settling for something else.  Why should I
  settle? I'm the one who is going to pay for it.  I'm the one who's
  gonna drive it and I'm the one who is going to have my name on the
  title.  I've kept about as much an open mind as I can have on the
  subject but at the end of the day, the car I want to drive home in is
  the Mustang.  This is my first new car and I'm supposed to adore my
  first new car.  Every car after this will be some sort of a compromise
  because I'll have more responsibilities and need a different kind of
  car. Right now I'm young and dumb and want this bad boy.  I've driven a
  sensible, piece of crap that gets good gas mileage for the past 5-6
  years and it worked but now I want a change.  

  I saw Oceans Twelve Saturday night with the folks and it was a good
  movie.  Better than Oceans Eleven? Nah.  But my favorite bit in the
  movie is when they introduce George Clooney's character, he's living in
  East Haven, CT. Later in the movie Clooney meets up with Brad Pitt and
  they have an exchange:
  
  Clooney: "How's the hotel business?"
  
  Pitt: "Sucks. How's East Haven?"
  
  Clooney: "Sucks."
  
  God bless anyone who publicly berates Connecticut.

  On Sunday I watched Super Size
  Me, a great documentry on the horrors of fast food. Let me
  tell you, if you ever want to lose weight but can't find a good reason
  to, go watch this movie.  At the end of it, you will feel like the
  fattest person alive and never want to touch another piece of food
  again.  It was well done and it's definetly worth the $4 at Blockbuster
  to rent it.

  Funny videos of the day:
  
  Avril Lavigne in a Hooters outfit
  
  Michelle, of Destiny's Child, falls

  Happy birthday to John!
