I don't care what anyone thinks, I whole heartedly believe that The Sixth Generation Toyota Celica and the pre-facelift SN-95 Mustang are some of the best looking sports cars to come out of the '90s. Even when they're faded, busted up, and rotting in someone's back yard, I still think they got lines to admire. "But buteos," you interject. "What about the NA Miata? That car holds up really well too!" You're right. It does. It truly, truly does. But it came out in 1989, so technically, it's an '80s car. Maybe you disagree that that's a disqualifier, and that's okay. I think we can all agree that The Fourth Gen Camaro looks ugly and GM should write us an apology letter for green lighting that design.

Got a new phone recently. Another flip phone. Somehow in the effort to try to copy the phone book from my old phone over to my new phone, the SD Card got corrupted. So now I have to copy everything over manually. It's a chore, but I'm okay with that. Interestingly enough, when I "downgraded" from a smartphone to a flip phone a few years back, the people at the phone store had zero poker face and were kind of baffled that I was making that choice. This time around though, they seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about getting me all taken care of and they all actually thought both the old phone I was getting rid of and the new phone I was getting were pretty nifty. Either they have different attitudes towards ludite tech, or they have much better poker faces. I think maybe the second, but I still appreciate it, it made for a more comfortable buying experience.
