George IV's corination was on a Thursday. I think you're most certainly safe.

Jeez, people are making me hate them today. I pulled a couple of articles for a professor's RA on Friday. She just interrupted my lunch (opening my closed door and saying, "Hi, So-n-so said you might be in here!") to tell me I pulled the wrong article because the author's name was wrong -- and she points to a similar name printed on the last page of the article.

I just had to explain to a law student that she was looking at a footnote.

Nissan Versa!

We just bought one in August- it's a really nice car, I lurves it. We liked the Honda Fit as well; they were more or less the same price, we liked them both equally, but we got super low financing on the Versa, case closed!

I sat in a Fit a few days ago and really liked it.

But if you're looking for used, it's hard to go wrong with Honda or Toyota, I think.

I've been considering buying a new (well, new used, probably) car. My parents want me to anyway, and I wouldn't mind having something better. Any suggestions?

Um, I have a 2006 Ford Escape Hyrbid for sale.

I had the Versa as a rental car recently and really liked it.

Hee. I'm not looking for an SUV. Or to pay much more than $10,000, which is what is in my head as the optimal price of a car. Like $10 is the optimal price of a CD.

I hurt. All over. And I'm really sick of being sick, and am generally whiny, and do not want to go to work today. Actually, just DO NOT WANT in general.

Being sick sucks. Woe.

In less whiny news, the Foreign Service Institute was shut down for some hours on Friday - a construction crew found some unexploded ordinance. Turns out it's Civil War-era munitions (I don't know what exactly).

Cool! Well, not cool for the possible danger and all that, but cool.

Hmm, I hear you in terms of thinking that *should* be the case, but seriously, if you're gonna get a car, get one that won't be giving you the same kind of angst you're getting now, and that will probably be at least $12-15K. I think after all was said and done, we paid about $17K for our car, which was more that we wanted to pay ($15K was our max and all we were looking at were compact cars, both new and used) but my gut feeling is that it's worth it to spend that kind of money on a Honda, Nissan, Toyota type of thing. Lord knows I'd never be able to step up to the next level (or want to) but I feel we got good value.

I found my other sister.
