An unexpected arrival

There was a message on my answering machine when I got home on Friday. Even though my Prius wasn't due in until the end of November, the Toyota gods had smiled upon me and my Prius had come in, a mere 3 months after I ordered it. So on Saturday morning I went and picked it up. It was all kind of scary and now I'm insanely in debt, but it's OK. Because my car is soooo pretty and I love it. Here's a picture:

OK, that's not exactly my car, but that's the right color. It has so many cool features and gadgets. I'm totally in love with it. Which is good, because I'm going to have it for many, many years.

Two other quick things: I saw Garden State and really enjoyed it. Much like Avenue Q, it seemed very geared toward people my age. And congrats to my boy Brian, who hit 2 doubles in today's game. He's a mere 3 doubles away from breaking the O's record for most in a season (Cal Ripken, Jr., holds the current record) and is currently 2nd for doubles in the majors.

Current song in my head:
"Superman" by Lazlo Bane
