Making Concrete Arrangemnets can make an event seem Real, instead of something-that-might-happen-unless-the-Universe-conspires-against-me.

It's official - I'm going to see REM in Hyde Park on 11 July :) Lalalala and you're not :p (unless you're [livejournal.com profile] minspi, of course, since he's the one who got the tickets).

So... I just have to finish my gamma imaging TMA, get to [livejournal.com profile] fire_kitten's party, and do some semblance of housework in my Last Week of Freedom before then.

Note to Self: when self has used up all one's savings (and more) in surviving for 2 years without a real income and can barely afford a hairdryer-powered rollerskate, test driving a Toyota Celica T-Sport is a Bad Idea (however much fun it might be at the time).

Dribbling down one's front at the Chrysler Crossfire soft top parked outside the patchwork shop isn't recommended, either.

Crossfire claims 27 mpg from a 3.2l engine, which is similar to my 1.6l Astra (old engine). And it's the result of the crossbreeding with Mercedes, so should be more reliable than many Chryslers.

Besides, it's a pretty car, so efficiency isn't what you buy one for!

The Celica's lovely, but has been around for ages & ages. The Yaris has just been revamped after only a few years, so I'm wary of lusting after something that's about to become obsolete.

Realistically, I'll end up with a Corolla (middle range), a Yaris (T-Style or T Sport) or a Honda Civic (mid-range again). Depends how much I maange to save once back at work :)
