I hate my car...
It was a sad realization today when I became uncontrollably excited upon hearing that my car was only going to cost me several hundred dollars to fix, as opposed to the several thousand I was anticipating when I dropped the hunk of shit off at the mechanics this afternoon.
For years I've dreaded driving along dark, wild life infested, highways out of paranoia of hitting a deer and wrecking my car. And now that I am out deliberately trolling the back roads hoping that one of the little bastards will run out and total my car, I can't find them anywhere. Go figure.
In other random news:
* Wednesday marked the 4 year anniversary of my uncle passing
* It's been almost 8 full calendar months since I quit smoking
* Next weekend I am going to Hottuberfest v2.0 Saturday evening, and then the SITD/Imperative Reaction show in Toronto on Sunday evening to do more interviews for the radio show (both of these of course, taking place after I put in a full days work starting at 7am... yippee)
* I've learned the hard way that laser hair removal is more painful/annoying than they let on, and topical anesthetic doesn't always work (especially on closed skin surfaces like your legs)
* I've done the unthinkable and bought not one, but two high-tech gadgets in the past few weeks... now I just have to figure out how to use them *grumble*
* I've gone and double (and in one case triple) booked myself with shifts during the last 2 weeks of October. If I survive until Halloween, I'll be surprised
