Yes! Got My Car Back

Got my car back last week and so happy to have it back.  I’ll never take it for granted again.  Its amazing how much of difference there is between the BMW and Dodge.  I can see better, the handling is way more precise, and the car actually accelerates immediately when I press on the gas.  But it looks like my arm muscles got a little lazy after driving a car with full power steering.  I’m getting a little of a work out turning the wheel on my car since its power-assisted instead of full power steering.

B Line body shop did an amazing job on the car.  Paint is matched perfectly and I cannot find any unmatched seams.  Even on super close inspection you can’t tell that the car has been in an accident.  If you are in the San Jose area and need body work done, I highly recommend B Line for the job.

Sorry We Couldn’t Get You A Wii Part 2

Still can’t get a Wii?  The Walmart Wii gift card not good enough for you?  How about a pack of gum in a tin that looks like a Wiimote?  From a distance the gum package looks like the real thing.  I still don’t get why these things are being sold at the check out counter at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  But I was stupid enough to buy one and it is an official Nintendo licensed product.  The gum itself is a little bit nasty.

Stalker Song of the Year

The new Death Cab for Cutie album is really good and the first single has got to be catchiest stalker song I’ve heard since the Police’s “Every Breath You Take“. Oh yeah, this song also has one of the longest instrumental intros since anything that Pink Floyd has done.

Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart
How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It’s like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can’t read – just yet
You gotta spend some time–love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find–love, I will possess your heart (x2)

There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we’ll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time–love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find–love, I will possess your heart(x2)

I will possess your heart (x2)

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won’t let you, let me down so easily, so easily

You gotta spend some time–love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you’ll find–love, I will possess your heart (x3)

I will possess your heart (x2)

Free Album from NIN

The new Nine Inch Nails album is available for a free download!  Other than having to give your email address, there are no tricks or gimmicks.  The best part?  In addition to a high quality MP3 option there are options for better sounding files, all the way up to a 1.5 gig option that is suppose to sound better than even CDs!  So I downloaded the MP3s for my iPhone and the mega-download for my home system.  There will be a real CD release in July if you are into that sort of thing.
