Lots of gaming this weekend. After finishing COD4, I started it again on Veteran, which I’m not actually likely to finish, played some online, and then hit up Assassin’s Creed for a good bit of time. All good stuff.

We spent part of the time idly today looking at potential new cars, in case the Civic’s repair bill is higher than the car’s worth. Looks like the Honda Fit is #1, with the Scion xD and Mazda 3 in the running somewhere. As much as I like the new Subaru WRX, and as much more as I like the 300HP WRX STi, I don’t think we could reasonably justify $33K (or thereabouts) and the gas mileage. Alas, ’cause it looks much nicer than the standard WRX, and hell, it’s a beast. The Fit? Not a beast.

On a completely different note, I picked up an album – Flag, by Yello. You might remember Yello’s one big hit, “Oh Yeah” – if you don’t, think “Duffman.” For some reason, this album *really* evokes memories of spending time in Canada with my cousin. Between this and The Barenaked Ladies’ “Gordon,” and Icehouse’s “Man of Colours,” that’s middle and high school.

The album holds up surprisingly well. With the exception of maybe two songs which feel explicitly dated, the songs actually feel almost … modern? Worth checking out, even if just to hear what the state of electronica was in 1989.

Rock Band tomorrow. woot.
