Farmville more like Village of the Damned

As a joke I started the new Facebook APP "Farmville", really really bad idea. It sucks you in and never lets you go. I had to be home today in time just to harvest my SOYBEANS. Why ohh why? Also the music in it I heard was composed by Kenny G, easy listening and pleasing to all.




Maybe I should get back into WOW?

The Fairfax rap...

I just watched this and it is hilarious. I wish they would have mentioned Lorton, the part of Fairfax everyone wants to forget is there.

Okay and maybe I was wrong

our Scion XA


I really like my wife's Scion XA. With it's stylish front and nice bulbous body it is a bit of an oddity on the road. The interior is quite smart looking and there is a surprising amount of space for a car that doesn't look much bigger then a shopping cart read SMART car. Even my good friend Patrick who loves trucks was actually surprised when he got in to the Scion.


If there is one Huge irritation about the XA isn't anything with the car itself, it is the way people react to it. Because most cars are larger then it the drivers of these bigger cars want to demonstrate their amazing NASCAR drafting ability, either that or they want em to admire their grill and headlights.


So far I have been drafted by trucks, suvs, semi's and other little cars like the smart car. Which leads me into something else. If I buy a Scion XA for say 14k and it gets 35 miles to the gallon and a Smart for 20k which gets 40 miles for the gallon who in five years has spent more money on their car? I think it is obvious that the XA has more room, has customizable options and is a Toyota. Unlike Smart which wants to be a Mercedes when it grows up.
