Hot Wheels

I am now the proud owner of a 1997 Nissa Altima GXE in a color that three different people have opined is: brown, maroon, and metallic purple. Whatever. Once I have proof of insurance, I can register the car with the town. Once I register it with the town, I can order vanity plates so that I have an actual shot at remembering my license plate number. Once I have a license plate number that I can remember, I can get a coveted Faculty/Staff parking sticker, and everything will be binjali.

Faithful auditors of this journal will note that the vehicle I have acquired is not a Subaru. The Subarus on offer in our price range being, um...non-viable, we were required, as is so often the case, to go to Plan B.

Astute readers will also note that, Good and Useful though it was, acquiring a vehicle was Not Exactly the work I was to be doing today.

Right. I'll be doing that tonight, then.

On another topic, I'd just like to say that Girl Genius has exceeded its monthly bandwidth allowance at a most inconvenient time! Aaagh!

I think it must be puce. Regency indeed!

Over on the Heyer list, there's a running "puce sighting" thread--Heyer used the color in just about every book she wrote, it seems.
