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.

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.

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)

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.

Let this be a warning to all golfers out there, never go play golf in 90 degree, super-sunny weather without sunblock not matter how tough you think you are.

So as I mentioned in my previous post, my car was hit within 2 hours of my arrival at my new house in San Jose. My house is near a 90 degree turn and I had parked my car in the perfect position to be hit by someone taking the turn too fast and losing control. I had originally parked my car across the street and moved it so it would be easier to unload. Then I thought about parking the car in the driveway but never got around to it. Anyway, here’s a picture of the damage after the car was put on the tow truck.

The car has been at the shop for 5 weeks now and I am hoping to get it back this week. The repair shop was recommended to me by my landlord’s brother, who also had a lot of body work done on his BMW so I am hoping it will be worth the wait. I am so sick of driving the rental car. I refuse to use the garage until I get my real car back. Every time I check in to get status they keep telling me two more weeks. But at least they sent me proof that the car is being worked on. Gotta love Silicon Valley, even the body shop uses email and digital cameras, now if they only had a web cam…..
