I finally did it. I ordered the BMW today. You can check it out at bmwusa.com I ordered a 2006 325i jet black, with black leatherette and burl walnut trim. I saw it on another car and it looked really good. I got heated seats and I got the satellite radio prep in case I want to get satellite radio later. It's an extra 600 to get satellite radio and I just wasn’t ready to do that.

I should actually get the car from the factory in Nov.

I had my wisdom teeth out today. The guy (well, dr...) kept freaking me out by saying stuff like "Well if we bump this nerve, your jaw may become numb or locked permanently" and "I'm putting my hand here so your jaw doesn’t dislocate as Im loosening the tooth." And we both know by "loosening" he means one hand planted on my face, the other wielding a wrench locked onto my tooth back and forth. During the torquing he says "jesus, its like pulling a canine out of a crocodile!" Just when I thought he was done scaring the crap out of me he says "I left a little piece of the root in here; it wasn’t really worth going after bc it's so close to your sinuses and we don’t want to put a hole in there." This "doctor" looks about our age, still talks about drinking and college and is from the east coast so everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like a line from "The Godfather."
Brussels was fab. Very unique city for sure. Katrine and I were throwing back Leffe and Hoegaarden and feeling a little tipsy after two. The bottles in Belguim are smaller and we thought we were getting ripped off. After checking the alcohol content, 6.6 and 8.5 respectively, we realized we were just getting ripped. You wouldn’t have been able to restrain yourself from all the beautiful chocolate they had around either. They have it beautifully displayed. I still argue that the Orion we got in Praha was better.
