• so my check engine light and TRAC OFF light has been flashing for a few days now and i finally decide to take it into the lexus dealership to get it checked out since it was bugging me like crazy.  so i go in there, wait for about 15 minutes while they are putting service numbers on it and it's waiting in a queue to get worked on and stuff and refuse to sit around and wait, since last time, what i thought would be a 20 minutes (max) process, turned out to take an hour.  so anyway, i decide to take advantage of their shuttle service and have them taxi me to the gym!  hahaa.  hector, was the name of my driver and we were cruising along in a lexus LS430.  do you know how sweet this car is?  oOooh let me tell you!!!  the most impressive were the backseats:

  
  

  -massage chair option for the backseats with butt warmers.  the backseat can also recline back, similar to what you can do on airplane seats.  soooo cool!

  
  

  -can control your air climate as well as the radio from the back seat arm rest. 

  
  

  -there is a button that automatically raises the back blinds so as to reduce sunshine.  the back window seats also have that option as well, except it's not automatic.  but still coooool!

  
  

  -best part about the backseat is that there is a friggin cooler in the middle area that you can access when the arm rest is down. can you believe that??!!! i was fiddling around and thought the massage chair was awesome already and then i find the cooler.  geebus.  i stuck my water bottle in there for the 8 minute ride and by the time we got to our destination, my water was chilled!  how groovy!

  
  

  -the cruise control on this baby is friggin tight!  it has sensors that can sense when there is a car in near range ahead of you and it automatically slows down.  then when it doesn't sense another car in close proximity, it speeds back up.  all ya gotta do is steer.  is that insane or what?!!!

  
  

  after being picked up from the gym, i decide to take this car for a test drive while waiting for my car and that was pretty sweet.  the steering wheel is like..sooo smooth.  puts a whole new meaning to power-steering. heh. 

  
  

  but anyway, enough about cars.  some annoying things of the week:

  
  

  1.  having no seat coming to s.f. on BART b/c stupid ass BART is having some system failure and trains aren't on time and it displaces a lot of people who are on a friggin schedule!

  
  

  2.  i have no seat coming back home from s.f. due to the same reason stated above.  oiyeee.  dude, standing there for 45 minutes, twice a day is no fun.  the good thing about it is though, if by chance, a seat is open near me, no guy jumps at the chance.  they all let the ladies have the seat.  for once it pays to be female.  *sigh*

  
  

  3.  this one dude who keeps clearing his throat like evvery 2 minutes.  and it's like one of those long and loud throat-clearing.  apparently his clearing-throat mechanism isn't working so why can't he find a better solution?!!! ugh.  it really bugs me.  i'm sitting there reading stuff and every 2 minutes..."ahhhh he he hum kha kha he hmmm.  ahhh ke kumm kuuuum kuummm".  my god!  kdjf;alkjdf;akljf;askljf;askdf and we always happen to be in the same train car together too.  why me?!?!

  
  

  4.  forgot my tshirt at home when i packed my gym bag and so i had to wear my work shirt while working out.  and yes, i just HAD to work out.

  
  

  some thoughts for the week:

  
  

  1.  it's nice to get into shape.  i was panting like crazy from walking with my skis (but then again, it was uphill and my skis are damn heavy) and that is just sad.  horray for working out again.  this would be my 3rd day in a row! 

  
  

  2.  when boarding bart and going towards fremont on a packed train, never stand near the indians or chinese because fremont is full of indians and chinese and you will be assed out when trying to grab a seat b/c you have 1,000,000 other people aiming for the same seat.  supply and demand friends, supply and demand. 

  
  

  3.  i don't get enough sleep these days.
