Oh, man. So I bought The Stills' Logic Will Break Your Heart. It's fantastic. I seriously am loving it so far.

But, yes, it's clearly been an exciting weekend. I went to Anime Anonymous with Amy on Friday (and when, during the middle, she left to take a phone call, I relocated to say hi to Daniel). Afterwards I went back to Amy's place (oohlala) where I ate sunflower seeds, watched Fushigi Yuugi and Black Heaven, and molested her pillows (sqooshy!). I woke up around 9, sat around for a while, then headed out to catch the 11 o'clock bus. An hour later, I met up with my parents; we ate lunch at a french restaurant downtown, then headed off to a costume store, guitar center, michael's, ross, soundtrack, and costco. Then we had the bright idea to stop by the toyota dealer on our way home, so that we could try test-driving the prius. After all, my dad reasoned, I'd probably want a car next summer and the Prius had a 6 month waiting list, last he'd checked. So off we went.

We parked in the lot and found, apparently, the only available used 2004 Prius in all of Colorado. Can we test-drive it? my father asked. Of course, replied Bobby, our friendly salesman. So he drives it out of the lot, I take over, almost run through a stop sign, hand it over to dad, and we head back in. And Mom and Dad look at each other and a couple phone calls to Grandma and Grandpa and a few muttered conversations later, we sign the papers and voila! I have a car.

It'll be staying at home with mom and dad, for now. There's no point in bringing it up to Boulder, since I don't have a parking permit, I don't know how to drive between Denver and Boulder, and I still need more practice driving in general. It's got WAY better gas mileage than the SUV, so Mom will probably be using it quite a bit. And if she likes it enough she says she might just get her own. I think my car's safe. It's a good thing black's not her color.
