They. Fixed. The. Car.
He was supposed to be un-fixable - it would cost more to fix the bits than the entire car was worth, and wouldn't run anyway. I was all depressed because we'd neglected to save the tiny Pez dispenser key fob, and it was probably in the middle of a steel cube at the wrecking yard by now.
Turns out Mom told them to see if there were any economical alternatives, and to take their time, and decided not to mention it to me, probably for much the same reason that she wouldn't say, "Oh, and the vet called. He thinks he can resurrect the dog, but he's not sure and we won't know for a few weeks, so don't get excited." And they fixed it. And I get picked up tonight. And ROMMELL, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD, I READ YOUR BOOK!!!
I went out and got a "What would Xena Do?" bumper sticker, to celebrate.

quote of the day
Jul. 17th, 2001 02:00 pmA bewildered Deb, normally the sort of phlegmatic individual who makes Richard Moll look panicky, finishes a phone conversation with Accounting:
"Are you sniffing glue down there?"
"Are you sniffing glue down there?"

Jul. 17th, 2001 02:07 pmI decided to play one of Kellilla's* favorite games and look at my site stats. Aside from my name, the two most common search phrases (both from google) were "you stupid stupid man" and
"manga sushi."
I'm off to input these phrases myself and see what else turns up.

NOW it's getting weird...
Jul. 17th, 2001 09:32 pmSo. So. Okay. They fixed the car.
Then I get home (and it didn't take 45 minutes), and there's a HUGE box in the living room from Moore Action Collectibles, the people who make the Buffy figures. I've won the entire set of Futurama figures, including the Swimsuit Leela they did for Toy Fare and Diamond. And the packages are signed by Mr Moore. And some wonderful degenerate did a drawing on the packing cardboard of an alien fetus in black magic marker.
Then I go over to the craft store for paint. They have paint. The paint is on sale for 50 cents a bottle.
Then I go to pay for the paint, and find two twenties in my purse that I'd kind of sort of forgotten about.
I bought milk and went home. I can't take the chance of any more good fortune. I'm entering my Cardiac Event Years.
Oh, and I sold two drawings on eBay.
