Karoline's Klown Kar
And I say that with great affection.
The new car is great, and I no longer have nightmares about how I'm going to pay for it. I'm getting a bonus for winning a project at work that's worth like, 2 & 1/2 car payments!!! The old me would have thrown a party and done some seriously irresponsible shit with that $$$, but it's I guess its a semi-new me for a semi-new year.
Found out later in the week that some form of tax break for buying a new car under $50k in 2009 is on the table with the stimulus scramble. Not even sure what they'll agree on, if anything, and what the bottom line will be for some schmoe like me. Whoopie, I guess :p Somewhat serindipitous, at least. It pays to not be afraid of the economy-monster.
DJ'ed with Lothair and Copper Top at Chapel Perilous on Monday night, and we drove in my car. It's zippy! I have to re-learn how not to slam on the gas when accelerating from a stop; my old car was just too much vehicle for me, I guess, lol. I also don't entend on scratching this one up, because if you've seen it, it's TINY! but I like little cars like that better. You're going to be envious when gas goes back up.
"Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile? Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto that I could afford. Am I therefore to be made the subject of fun?" Lol Simpsons!
Anyway, back to the non-car part of the story. I found Chapel to be a smashing sucess, and I feel bad for those who couldn't come out. Yeah, mondays are tough, and wintertime is tough, and yes you should also support Crash if nothing else, but the people who did come were cool, I met some cool new folks, and had lots of fun. I'm amazed with myself for the last set I did 1:15-2. I didn't write it down; I used to write my list as I went, but I've gotten lazy. We all did great.
Been promoting for Anti-Valentine's with Gretchen and we went to the show at the Melody Inn late last night. I wore some metallic silver leggings that I saw at Future Shock while dropping flyers there, and had to have. I wore them even though I debated just how insane-looking they are. But paired with a short skirt, it looks like I have sexy metal robot-legs, and I got an almost-uncomfortable amount of attention. Next time I wear those, it's on like donkey-kong, lol.
But Anti-Valentine's is comming up, and we want U to come out! The $6-singles / $15-couples is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, just don't make out in front of the doorguy and you can all come for $6 ea.! And don't be all lovey-dovey-mushy at the event, or I'll kick you and take our extra $3!!!
