Car issues

For a while now I've noticed oil spots where I park at work. Last week I noticed my oil light blink on for a split second when I went up a hill. Ended up being 3 quarts low. NOT good. So now I have an appointment to get it looked at. Hopefully it won't be serious but will just have to wait and see. So don't be surprised if you see more posts on my car. Makes me consider getting something new or newer. I was looking at hybrids on the internet when my parents were here - my dad thinks they are still too new to be trusted. A girl at work today suggested a Yaris (its a Toyota), I hadn't heard of them. Its not a hybrid but it gets good gas mileage. Looked at their specs tonight - small car but kinda cute. I don't like the hatch back though at least not from the pics. I think the sedan is better looking than the Prius I think they are ugly... although mostly just the back end. If I had unlimited funds I think I'd go for a Honda Civic hybrid. They look more normal. Of course if I had unlimited funds I wouldn't care about gas mileage :).

In other news. At work they mentioned research again. Will see if and when it gets implemented but now I know I am one of the chosen to be rotated in when it starts (this is impressive when you factor in that I am a newbie and not everyone is getting rotated in at least not at this point). Will keep you posted as things develop.

Thai Go

There is a good Thai place in the Northgate mall (relatively close to where I work). I stoped there on my way home but didn't eat till I got home. I had Red Curry chicken and fried rice and some other type of chicken. The curry spilt out of the container into the plastic bag I am so thankful for that bad. Otherwise my car would permanetly smell like curry. I like Thai food. MMMM even have left overs for tomorrows lunch.
