he he ... remember the discussion of "earring magic" Ken? He's back.

I think I met that guy on South Beach a few years back.

In that outfit.

Ok. I have to write a one-page summary of Buffy (the show in general and why I think people cared) for a professor. There's too much to say!

vw, pick one reason and write about that. Otherwise, you're going to end up with much too much information.

I was supposed to spend the afternoon with a friend and her 6 month old baby, but the baby is sick. I suppose that means I should be cleaning for the family get together tomorrow...

Gronklies. I went to the doctor this morning. Looked at x-rays, found out that there's calcification in my shoulder joint. Not much to do about that other than keep an eye on it. Then I went to physical therapy, which, as usual, feels like it's helping, but also hurts and is exhausting. Now, time for a nap, I think.

Someone on my FB FL actually has an Aunt Flo.

Hubby had that!

Motherfuck. It's going to cost over $400 to fix the fucking car so it will pass the fucking smog check. And they have to order a part from Nissan, so it won't be ready until next week. And I have WonderCon next weekend, so I can't go down to Belmont until the first weekend in March. And one of the people I was going to show the car to tomorrow needs a car immediately, so she's no longer interested, and I'm pretty sure the other person will look for another car instead as well. I have numbers for four or five other people who I hope won't find a good car deal in the next week. And now I really want to raise my asking price to offset the cost of these smog repairs, but I don't know who'll go for that. I thought I would have the damn thing sold this weekend, and now it's all ruined. I am going to punch those U.S. Auto Body and Paint fuckers in the fucking face.

In new car news, they should be able to touch up the scratch that was on it tomorrow, as promised. I thought there were going to be some shenanigans, but it was just a miscommunication.

Pull the ad from Craigslist, get the car fixed, then raise the cost to cover the repairs.

And meanwhile, go back to the place that "fixed" it in August, adn start raising hell.

Or just sell the car back to the state. There's a lot in Oakland right next to the Coliseum that will pay you $1000 to junk your smog-failing car. You go first to the DMV, show them your fail notice, and tell them you want to turn your car in; they take your license plate and give you a special no-license permit for the drive from the DMV to the junk lot, they also give you some kind of a voucher and some more paperwork, you drive to the lot, you sit in a small crowded waiting room for about half an hour, and they immediately cut you a check for $1000.

It's a lot less money than you'd make fixing and Craigslisting the car, but it's also a lot faster and way less hassle. If the DMV line is short enough, you could do the whole thing on your lunch break on Monday.
