Pictures of Brian in the Passat
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
I know I mentioned before that I wanted my next car to be a convertible, but the Passat has turned into a viable contender. Why? Well… Look at it. Doesn’t Brian look sexy driving it? I think that is reason enough. LOL.
Here’s what the dash looks like in the daylight…

DVD Navigation with Bluetooth
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
Brian got to drive one of their company cars to pick up some of his German colleagues from the airport today. It was a 2010 VW Passat. It was pretty nice actually. Almost made me want to own one. Except, I really like not having a car payment.
ME: My next car will have one of these. (I said this while pointing at the in-dash DVD navigation system which, incidentally, is capable of streaming your Pandora from your phone through Bluetooth.)
BRIAN: Your next car will have giddyup.
ME: What’s that?
BRIAN: It’s when you step on the accelerator and your car goes zoom!
LOL. Bebot is kind of sluggish. No offense, Bebot. (He’s actually pretty quick for a 4-cylinder. But that’s what happens when you are after good gas mileage.) I’m so frugal that I have a feeling we’ll have Bebot with us for several years to come. Probably until the wheels fall off. One can dream, though.

Abbie Cornish is a Busy Girl
Posted on April 7, 2011 by Ching under Movies.
Brian dragged me to see Sucker Punch at the IMAX over the weekend. It was pretty lame. Save your money and just wait for the DVD release. On the bright side, we did get some good photos of the inside of the theater.
The last few times we went were during some really popular movies so we couldn’t catch the the theater empty. We lucked out that Sucker Punch was lame. LOL.
Speaking of, we actually saw two Abbie Cornish flicks this week. She’s also in Limitless, which we saw with Misty last night for cheap movie night. Limitless was okay. Abbie look in Limitless reminds me of Charlize Theron, except Charlize is a better actress. I’m not being catty because Abbie split up Ryan and Reese (though, I have to admit, I wasn’t thrilled when all of that stuff was going on — Ryan should have known better), I’m just stating a fact. She’s been somewhat lame lately. I think that’s what happens when you sell out. Then again, everyone has to make a living and we all “sell out” in our own ways.
I really liked Abbie before she was mainstream. I liked her better in Candy (with the late Heath Ledger) and Somersault (available on instant watch on Netflix). Of course, she’s probably making a lot more now.

Wicked Rule, Vagus, Surphace
Posted on April 7, 2011 by Ching under Things to Do.
We got to see Wicked Rule, Vagus and Surphace at The Lizard Lounge last Saturday after the ping pong tournament. Thanks for the invite, Jenni!
Brian didn’t like Wicked Rule because they had a weak lead singer. In his words, “It’s a shame that the singer isn’t as good as the band.” He liked Vagus, though. I thought both were okay. Wicked Rule gets bonus points for playing one of my favorite songs (see below — unless you’re on Facebook, in which case you have to click here).
I’ve yet to hear a version of Wicked Game that I didn’t like. I even enjoyed the rocked out Wicked Rule version, despite their lead singer. 😉 LOL.
Brian and I both really liked Surphace. We’d totally go see them again. Jenni says they’re playing at America’s Pub on the 16th. We would totally go, except we already have a prior engagement — The Fabulous Fleshtones at the Port of Wichita. It’s a very important night because Brian and I are playing matchmaker. 😉
We are for sure attending the next Surphace gig, though!
