The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to go to the dealership on Wednesday, since my brakepad warning light went on yesterday. I may see if the bumper to bumper warranty covers the plastic thing we were talking about earlier, since mine is also ripped.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's a hoot, isn't it? I love the scene where his attempt at transformation goes wrong and he turns into a clown.

Great cheesy fun. Made no sense at all, of course, but that's pretty much the point.

You want confusion, try going as Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD for Halloween.

God FUCKING damn. Stupid highway with stupid things that fly at my car.

Wrod. LA is hell for that. On the surface streets I'd get pelted with rocks thrown up by the leaf blowers. On the freeway...I think the worst was a truckfull of small sharp metal thingies, like the rails that hold the hard drive in the CPU. That was worth a spiderwebbed windshield and much scratched paint.

Here the only things that hit my car are motorcycles.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was up about 2 hours too late for a night before timeshift, but I made it in on time (ok, after the boss, but before the rest of the team).

Today is my 1 year anniversary at this job. I have a review today that I am not really worried about, but there will be some criticism and who like criticism? Not me.

Still 1 year at this job has been much better than the previous 5 years or my work life. YAY!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fucking A, ita. That sucks.

Yay for one good year, msbelle!

Isn't there a July 1 deadline for loan consolidation under current rules? (sorry to be a downer if there is. My info is partially heard public radio.) Also, CONTEST CONTEST the fraud shit. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

Yes and yes. Which is why I was supposed to do the consolidation thing online last night. It's a postmark deadline, so not a crisis.

Oh fuck, those mirrors are expensive to replace. (My sister taped hers back on.)

Ugh--sorry 'bout the mirror, ita. I managed to scrape the passenger side one off my last car, backing out of a garage. I think buying a new one cost me ~$65 (for a 92 Grand Am), and it was easy enough to install myself. So, it might be cheaper than replacing a windshield anyway.

hip deep in pie

I watched 5 minutes of Charlie Rose interviewing Warren Buffet and the Gates, and the thought popped into my head. With all that money, why don't they just buy/start a drug company and create their own drugs, and then they could give them away where they're needed and charge us Westerners an arm and a leg?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My mirror is taped tentatively in place with athletic tape.

It was what was on tap.

Okay, off to damned gym.

My passenger side mirror is totally shattered and needs replacing!

This happened to me. And the dealer said I'd need a whole new mirror unit (holder and everything) which would be $200, but they didn't have them in stock. Since it wasn't required in Mass., I just went without until I got rid of the car. This must happen all the time -- have you Web-searched for DIY solutions?
