New wheels

Not exactly new, but quite unfamiliar to me. I'm now driving Jake's 1991 Isuzu Rodeo, which looks a little like this (the one I'm driving isn't as shiny though) -

It's electric blue and a little battered but rather fun to drive. It's the largest vehicle I've driven and rather like a truck. The engine roars (I like it that way), and the air-conditioning doesn't work so well, but I'm quite happy prowling the streets of Ann Arbor in it.

It's also been very hot here. On Wednesday, I met up with Irene for brunch at Northside Grill; we've agreed to have brunch every week at a different place before we leave the US - me to Singapore and she to Korea for the following year on a Fulbright. We watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and as far as chick flicks go, it's not bad at all. And Alexis Bledel is too pretty for her own good.
