Goddammit!! This is a period of breakdowns for me. First my car, which I am happy to report I have fixed myself to drivable. I spent $700 on parts and installed all of the ones which don't require special screwy tools to do. I decided to just pay a shop to handle the complicated stuff and decided to have a pro do the brakes. I've done them on my American cars, my hearse and on my Volkswagon, but this MB is just a new animal entirely. Everything you would think would be easy requires a special part, a special tool and some unholy 6th sense to work with it. When it comes to my and my son's safety I don't like to fuck around. I have an apointment for Monday to take the car down and get it done and an estimate for around $600 to have the work done with my parts (which I saved a bundle on by buying them online by the way). That's good I guess, and still more for parts than for labor.
Then today I wake up to some rather pushy Jehova's Whitnesses at my door. Normally I am very nice and respectful to them when they come around but the ones today got on my nerves. Too full of themselves and pushy, not really respecting my beliefs. I told them I respect theirs but they must respect mine as well and to please not come back. I then went to my PC and it was a fucked up mess. I guess my IDE controller is fucked. I think it was time for a new PC anyway, I was running on 1GHZ which is pretty old, it was top of the line when I got it so obviously I have had it a while. I got my use out of it. It is going to be an incredibly tight month for money though because I had a couple friends who needed help with money and then I have a show at the end of the month I need to make costumes for. Now car repairs and a new computer and I just made a big payment on my CC for my TV and paid off my other CC. Pleh. I wish I had known all of this would happen, I would have made a smaller CC payment. It feels so crappy to pay something off only to run it right back up again. Grrrrr......
On a better note, I'm going to see the Cruxshadows and Ego Likeness tonight and that makes me happy. I love seeing them.

.....misguided.
Their theology isn't so much the problem as their complete eradication of the individuality of their members. And their anti-intellectualism.
And yet, Prince is one. (Michael Jackson, on the other hand, I can see....)
