Got my car serviced yesterday. Nothing major--replaced front brakes, cleaned rear brakes, and rotated tires. Eighty bucks that I don't mind spending. I drive a Subaru and I just love her. I've crashed it badly, hit a deer, hydroplaned and skidded and she's still in one piece, getting me places, never letting me down. Man, I love that car.
I archived all my stuff from last semester. Generally I would just throw that stuff out but now I've begun thinking about things like whether or not I'm going to be getting my engineering license after I get my degree. Should I decide to do so, then there will be that big test to worry about and hopefully I'll know where my notes are, and I can learn that shit all over again. A professor of mine once told me that you go to college to learn how to learn, and if you've learned something once then you can certainly learn it again. That's golden advice right there. Keep that in mind.
While getting that done, I was listening to two interesting albums: Belle and Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister and Love's Forever Changes. Both are great. They're very similar, too, though there's around thirty years between them. B&S do sound like they're from the sixties and I've just now thought about it but maybe the conjunction in their title gives their sound away (i.e. Chad and Jeremy, the Mamas and the Papas, etc.) Anyway, Sinister and Changes both have the whole Phil Spector wall-of-sound thing going on in them, which I always loved, and, of course, they're both just a solid bunch of songs. If you've got money to spare (who does?) you may want to consider either, particularly the Love LP. If a woman comes up to a man's room and sees those records she will think he is intelligent, sophisticated, and sensitive and then he has her. Trust me on that one.
Right.
On to vacuuming the house.
