TALULA LIVES!!!

[avalyra]

She's alive!!!Her engine is seemingly ok!! It feels so good to have her running again! I drove her to work today in Japantown. So So good:) I had to replace her alternator and some other fuel injector valve, plus Id over filled the oil so they dealt with that. The smoke was coming from oil that had gotten clear into the catalytic converter and was burning off. Now its ok. I found good VW guys here...one who looks and sounds just like Dave Shipley, I mean Shave Deeply. A japanese guy named JImmy worked on her. I thanked him profusly. Now I have one more day here in this house...must be out of upstairs by tomorrow. I have alot ALOT of work to do, but I can do it. I am very excited about living somewhere new actually. I am going to live closer to downtown so I can walk home from dance floors. Im looking on CL for stuff right now. I have a good feeeling about it working out. I have 2 more weeks till Playa time. Fire time. Another universe time. SOSOSOSOSOSO excited.
So to sum up: Making some money, meeting cool people, doing interesting and challenging things, a variety of jobs(henna, floral work, massage..plus Im looking into doing some Dom work..),van is running and mostly legal,just need insurance, moving immediantely, new girl friends, and I got to eat mashed potatoes for lunch.
I am a happy monkey tonite.

I also am going to see Dead can Dance one month from now in Oakland. I bought the tickets in APRIL but its getting close enought that Im getting excited. I am gonna melt hearing those voices...
