I DID IT!!

Yes indeed, I finally did it.....I finished my first month of car qualifications, so by the end of July I will have qualified for a brand new, totally free, fully loaded red Pontiac Vibe. My only gripe is that the car is called a Vibe, but hey, if it's free, I don't care if they call it a 'Rator. ;) (it is, though, a candidate in my list of what I would have as my vanity plate)



So now the next three months I am going to have to kick it into high gear. Which ought to be interesting considering how much I'm going to be out of town in June and July. But maybe I will be done before then, if everything goes well. I just wish I'd have the car before my residency in late June, so I could drive to New Hampshire instead of fly. It'd save on stress, that's for sure, if my trip is anything like it was in January.

And yes, I did get my packet done for school too, despite my utter focus on other things!

So lately Ryan's been really excited about the new movie coming out later this year that's based on a TV series that he and his friends love, but didn't even last a whole season, I think. It's called Firefly and was a creation of Joss Whedon, the same guy who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer which I never watched but I understand was surprisingly good. The whole series is available for purchase on DVD now, and of course Ryan has the set. He's watched them tons of times, but I decided last night to give it its fair chance, even though I'm not really into sci-fi. And (here it is, in writing) they are not that bad at all. Good writing, actually. I don't think I'd ever get as into them as Ryan and his friends, but I have to admit they're worthwhile and it's too bad they got taken off the air. I still reserve the right to tease the guys about this though. :)
