Anyone have $40,000 I could requisition? I need a Ford Lotus Cortina. It's LHD too.

Oh Craigslist, how you tickle my funny bone...

Since the sun stabbed me in the eye around 7:30 this morning, I occupied myself by perusing the used car ads on CL. I found a positively delightful '68 Mercury Montego MX for a mere $1500 as well as a 1986 Blue Bird w/Chevrolet chassis (stick! ) for only $7000. The former I know is long gone...

This is a first: no second date because I'm an atheist. Usually I scare the women off with my overbearing personality. What a crazy, mixed-up world I inhabit.

My week, broken down by day:

Monday--nothing special
Tuesday--ditto
Wednesday--again, ditto
Thursday--tore a transmission cooler line in the Blazer on my way to a date. I am spectacular.
Friday--nothing special

This weekend I'm going to find a new(er) beater after making the temporary cooler line repair less cobbled. If you want to find me, I'll be pining over the used cars I cannot afford at...

I like this show. A lot.

Now a Region 1 boxset! I knew I worked overtime this weekend for a reason.


In other news, it's ridiculously hot & humid. The bear I live with won't shut up about how soggy his coat gets. I keep telling him to hide in the basement, but he's a stubborn ursine mammal who refuses to listen to common sense...

Weekend so far: went to work, pulled conduit for seven hours, came home, watched many episodes of Life on Mars. I have a healthy fancy for WPC/WDC Annie Cartwright. The Ford Cortina DCI Gene Hunt drives isn't too bad either.

Weekend to come: beats me. I'm open to suggestion. Probably watch the last four episodes then putz around in the sun.

I have a nice shiny block now. Unlike two weeks ago, it didn't fall out of the Blazer while in-transit to my humble hovel. Go me!

Next task? Polish & balance the crank. Soon the joy of assembly can begin. *steeples fingers* Excellent.

It's Sunday evening. I have been relaxing all weekend, yet I feel guilty right now because I'm home not doing anything. I finished Bluie Highways a few minutes ago, I do not feel like starting a new book, and I really do not want to do the chores I've been putting off for weeks now. I do want to do SOMETHING though.

Hmph.

Climax of the day: getting a four-pack of Boddingtons from my boss.

Nadir of the day: dropping my pizza face-first onto the oven door.


Is it Friday yet?

Tonight I am burying myself in the music of Luna. Those were good times...


*added fifteen minutes later*

Speaking of Luna, I just realized I missed the five-year anniversary of my first SG event by a mere four days. Huh.

It occurred to me while doing the dishes this evening I haven't made a proper weekend update in a while. Well, here goes:

Friday night: didn't do much.

Saturday day: didn't do much.

Saturday night: did much.

I trekked to the local Snooker's for a bit of pool & hijinks with a delightful smirking redhead. While waiting for her, I watched a bit of the...
