Highlights
Because of Comic Con 2004, I haven't posted what's been happenin' in our lives after the vacation. It's mundane, of course. Here are a few of the highlights:
- Had Friday off.
- Watched my paychecks eaten by spouse's buying spree. Sigh.
- R. had to work on the 31st and the 1st.
- Major brake job on my car.
- Rented one of those hybrid cars while my car was in the shop.
- Still haven't returned to the gym.
- Sister's in-laws are visiting them.
- Finished at least three books. (See Way.)
- Been participating in Tribe.net. I blame it on G.
- Got in touch with my ex and one of my long-time friends.
- Two of my friends had life-altering events (and it's not my place to discuss them.)
- My ex seems to be doing well.
- The weather down here in SoCal is finally cooling down.
- Developed the Comic Con pics.
- Food shopped. Ugh.
- Too many interesting progs on digital cable. Ugh.

What did you think of the hybrid? They seems like cool cars, but I don't know anyone who has one.

I think it's too late, Greg.

RE: hybrid.
It was...interesting, Issac. Turning the car on, parking it, and turning it off is considerably different than driving a regular car. Car definitely had power easily equal to a six cylinder (or a jacked up four cylindar), which was one of my concerns.
It was disconcerting the first time I heard nothing from the car when at a stoplight as the hybrid switched to battery. I got used to it, though. My biggest complaint is the car's body: as a hatchback, I noted the rear view was considerably less than I'm used to. Also, there are a fair number of blind spots which makes me more paranoid when driving. Overall, it was a good experience.
By the by, we may be purchasing a hybrid SUV by year's end.

How are those hybrid cars? I heard the Prius is quite fast for a hybrid. I haven't tried Tribe.net, but I was coaxed too by a friend. I'm quite happy with Friendster. You called an ex too? It was the wrong move for me. Now I can't get rid of him out of my head! I'm glad you enjoyed San Diego. Would love to go there one day.

Re: hybrids.
Read recently that Toyota's making a profit from the cars and planning to release more. I think within the next decade there will be more such cars out there. With such an established market, the car manufacturers will make more and drive the prices down.

RE: Comic Con and hybrids.
The PvP crew was at comic con. Their stuffed looked interesting (e.g., City of Heroes, etc.) but I don't play video games.
I believe Ford has/will be releasing a truck or SUV this year. Toyota's Lexus division is definitely releasing an SUV at year's end. We have a hold on one of them.
