Rammstein
Dance V. 2.0 (homebrew)

Expect the Rammstein for a while, folks. Ever since I caught a video in Germany during the month I spent there over summer vacation in high school I've been hooked, and their limited success in the US only fueled my interest. Seeing them in the opening scenes of XXX (the Vin Diesel movie, not porn) was pretty awesome.
Now that I legitimately have one of their albums, I may have to buy the rest.

I am now the proud driver of a silver 2000 Honda Civic EX. Power everything, sunroof, CD player... you can't ask much more than this package from a 2000 non-luxury car. The tinted windows are creating a little problem with the inspection, meaning I have to drive to Glen Burnie next week to get them tested, but it's worth the trouble to keep the tint. I'd rather go for a little ride and burn $10 in gas than drop $60 to get rid of a feature I like. Apparently tinted windows have to allow 35% light transmission to pass inspection, but I really doubt they would put on factory tint that violates the rule. Anyway, it's way nicer than any car I expected to get, and for someone who got spoiled driving the one-year-old family car since it was brand new I'm still quite happy. So far I drove it home from Dover and to Chestertown and back, and the gas meter is barely off F. Yeah gas mileage. Even if I cut my commute to two times a week, that still puts over 2500 miles on the car between now and November, so I'll count my fuel economy blessings.

In related news, it looks like I'll be crashing at Steve's one or two times a week to save commutes. Aside from a small "rent" that I feel is a fair donation for their expenses, I intend to take my Dreamcast with me for the entertainment of all. Let the Rush 2049, Soul Calibur, and Dead or Alive 2 games begin! This arrangement is only until Dan n' Steve's lease runs out at the end of October, at which time we intend to get a three-bedroom place in Silver Spring. Shortly after that time, I intend to buy an Xbox, and eventually I turn 21. Before the end of this year, all hell just might break loose - just a warning.

Not sure I've got any readers left after that Thesis-y semester during which my posts were... lacking, but to any left out there - huzzah! (And to any livejournalphiles hoping for mad pics... my bad!)

I'm off to do something vacation-y, because I still can.
