Ok, so I've started to do some car-shopping again. Nothing ferociously intent, and I've yet to march into a dealership with cash in hand, but I'm sticking with getting either another Integra or another RSX (aka 4th generation Integra). Yes, I'm picky that way. I'm also the one buying, so I'm thusly also the one calling the shots. Timeframe on this has me getting something several months from now, likely into 2009. Since I'm quite familiar with those models, I have a pretty good idea on what I'm looking at, being able to figure out what would be a minor quirk that I could fix at a gas stop and what would be an expensive deal-killer. This ability would allow me to choose from any kind of dealer or private seller. However, I am not going to buy a car at a yard sale. I shall not make that mistake a second time.

It's weird, when I originally bought Yamiko-chan, the intention was to eventually phase out and ultimately replace Ai-chan. But she kept going, never giving up. So, I kept her.

I used to want to draw. Then I decided that maybe it's for the best that I don't. What with all sorts of strange things that could come out of my head. Like say, what would Neon Genesis Evangelion or Lucky Star (or any anime for that matter) be like if all the characters had big, bushy unibrows? Would anyone be able to take that seriously? That's just a mild example. So, me not drawing could very well be the Seventh Seal. Anyone who's ever had to witness my imagination running wild may agree with that.

Looking at the calendar, AUSA is coming up fast and hard. Two weeks. I know I've been with this convention since late '00/early '01, but each year at this point I'm always like "what have I gotten into". And I'm not even running it. For those interested, I'll be packing full bottles of Tylenol/Motrin/whatever else I can think of and what may as well be a big bucket of Rolaids/Tums. We're gonna need it, gang.

Ok now to take out trash and then off to bed.

What are you doing at Anime USA? Have you decided at this point?

Pretty much the same as last year.

I've always enjoyed observing the workings of the human mind, whether first hand or by reading the person's output. So your thoughts on car buying really were fun to read.

Have fun in Arlington next month, if I don't blab anything in the interim.

I've noticed that most people do car shopping by juggling comparisons of a zillion makes and models and confusion reigns. Me, I've become a believer in the Integra. The only hassle now is to pick out something that hasn't had a zillion mods to it, and doesn't have an automatic.

People take this stuff seriously?

Purely hypothetical.

You don't have to buy another car. Just keep one and save money!

Sez you! You don't have the same driving habits. While I'm not planning on getting another one right away, getting a second car is in the pipeline.
