Now Playing: The Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do

"i wonder why (a)?"

Well, to start with, I plan on buying multiple packs of $30 pills to take abroad with me to the UK and India, since obviously I have no use for them here. I also plan on getting through customs without having them confiscated because you know... not being a woman, and not having a prescription, I'm not eligible to purchase them.

That's actually only because I have yet to learn about the existence of other, cheaper, and more effective kinds of birth control with fewer side effects, since obviously, that's the reason I made the side note that I did, didn't I? ;)

A tendency for gossip, a wilder than average imagination, a hint of perversion, and excessive testosterone can be a dangerously potent combination.

On a different, and yet not totally unrelated note, my Intermediate Accounting professor was replaced at the last minute. Whatever you do, do not take Sunny Yang for ACC 326. I barely made it through the first two minutes. 12 credits, here I come!

Class listing so far: FIN 357, MIS 304 (this class is hilarious), MIS 325, LEB 323 (evil) and ACC 326 (obviously not for very long). 353 too but that doesn't count.

Crystal Method!

24 Hours

And I'm out of here, ending what's quite possibly been the laziest summer vacation ever taken.

Not that I've really accomplished much this week. I did add a new (admittedly serious) scratch on the fender of my dad's Lexus. What the hell, we were planning to sell it anyway. I probably neglected to mention that I had scratched it once already the first week of work - but that wasn't my fault. Blame Emirates Towers for not having adequate parking (seemingly a terminal problem in Dubai) which leaves people no option but to double park... and scratch my car in the process.

In other car related news, Pace, my brother, and I went karting. Incredibly fun (and expensive). And the other day I drove Pace's old 1988 BMW 3-series. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's probably the only time I've ever had a car completely floored, and still been overtaken and flashed at for going too slow. Quite the experience, as I'm sure he'll attest to.

On the other hand, driving his 530 was an entirely different experience. Don't get me wrong, while I do get a huge kick out of driving old cars with broken power steering systems and zero torque in lower gears, there is something to be said for the 530. All those flashing lights... you feel like you're driving a damn jet. Might as well take off with the kind of acceleration you get when the thing's floored. Give me the money and I'll buy one.

Well actually no, I'd use it as down payment on a Cayman S. That would be the 2006 Porsche Cayman S. And I had the chance to test drive one today. Let's just say that this baby would easily leave the 530 in the dust (sorry Pace). In fairness, it would do the same to my Accord and well, just about every other car I've had the chance to drive so far. Now I just need to convince my dad to buy the thing.

On top of the December to-do list: Test drive a Ferrari.

On a side note, I read the FDA just approved Plan B. Just thought I'd mention that. Good to know. Very good.

Trance music!

I can't stand the radio. The music, the talk shows... all of it. I actually have yet to use the radio in my Accord. That said... the stuff on Thursday nights on 92.0 (Dubai FM) is beyond awesome.

And then he realized that he had momentary PMS

At the very least something good came from that, besides the fact that the 'situation' seems resolved, at least to some extent.

I'm having the greatest summer ever. I hope you are too. And no, this isn't a thinly veiled reference to anything. I'm talking about everything - May 19, 2006 to date.

I really have nothing else to say right now.

Let's play a game

What does one really have to pull to be on the receiving end of this?

Apparently, not so much. In fact, all you have to do is give a crap, and your seemingly insoluble friendship will dissolve like a tiny crystal of common salt in some really hot water. Which is pretty much what this whole thing is. Do be careful though, because if you go a little beyond giving a crap and actually begin caring, you just might be accused of pulling a "Sam and Abhuday" and being blamed for... well... not caring. Strange world huh?

Now excuse me for giving a crap. But I think I'm going to be a bit plebian here and actually say (God no!) that I in fact do care about my friends. I do care when two of my friends have unresolved issues that directly or indirectly may or may not affect me. I do care when one of those friends decides to make the proverbial world his battlefield. And I do care when said friend doesn't care.

So sue me for trying to fix things.
