I *heart* Farfegnugen

Last week I paid the last payment on my undergraduate student loan. This week I bought a car:



That's right, no more driving around in the '97 Ford Contour deathtrap (sorry DeMar). We are so excited because this VW is the first new car I've ever owned and it comes with a ton of cool standard features including:
  • Air conditioned glovebox
  • Keyless entry and alarm system
  • Automatic transmission with optional manual shifting
  • One-touch power windows on all windows
  • Blue/red lighted display for night driving
  • Groceries hanger in the trunk
  • Inserting key in door can roll down all the windows
  • Passenger side airbags
Anyway it totally rocks; here are some pics:

Good Times

Last weekend our good friend DeMar came into town to audition for grad school at UT. We had an awesome time including some highs and lows:

Highs:
-The best dinner ever at Traxx, which is run by our friend Jerry
-The best lunch ever at Las Manitas on Congress Ave.
-Hefeweizen beer at the Scholtz Garten beer garden
-Great Austin weather
-Endless hours of foosball at the house
-The best brunch ever at La Madeleine
-Playing Fusion Frenzy on the XBox. One character made asshole face as you can see here:


Lows:
-DeMar's lost luggage that arrived 2 hours before his audition
-My boss making DeMar sing an opera song in front of other people
-DeMar going back to Boston :(

Good times, good times. Looking forward to next time!
