... and the women down in Atlanta, they make me awfully glad it's only hit and run

It's raining, what a surprise. The commute yesterday actually scared me. Especially on the way home after working sixteen looong hours.

But whee! It's my patchfire's birthday! Everyone give her birthday glompage. But gently-- she's so very old now and all. The Rheumatiz' prob'ly be settin' in any day now. [/Granny Clampett]

Happy birthday, dear one. *hugs* I have your present. Will haul arse to the post office sometime today. It's supposed to stop raining. I hope.

I also made you an icon! Took me three minutes a long time to get it right. *loves and loves*

It's my darling first nephew's 27th (songdog's first ickle boo!), as well, but woe. He has no LJ and will not read this. But yay for two birthdays for the price of one! And, OMG nahkasiipi! That makes three!


*sigh* I love the sound of Little Feat in the morning...*dances the morning away*


P.S. I have also added a new item to my LJ interests. Nibbles/Big Chicken OTPOMG!!11111!!!sixandahalf!!!.

I've been dreamin', floatin' downstream an' losing touch with all that is real

My car is dead. Or at least mortally ill. I'm having it towed to the shop tonight or tomorrow night, and I hope that it's not too bad, but the crunching sound inside when it SUDDENLY STOPPED in the middle of Main street makes me think something is Very Wrong.

Does anyone have any info about how someone with wonky credit can get a decent car? Because I'm afraid that it's going to come to that. I have a ride to work on Monday and Tuesday, and hopefully something can be accomplished before I have to go back again on Thursday.

mijan, I didn't hear from you about today, which is just as well because if I'd been halfway to NH when my car bit the big one, I'd be up the infamous Shit Creek.


I am going to Boston by train tomorrow to meet up with mr_t00by. We'll see MirrorMask, as he hasn't seen it yet and I want to see it again.

Oh, and:

Hippie Kid 41% Tastefulness, 68% Originality, 35% Deliberateness, 13% Sexiness

[Flamboyant Original Random Prissy] The idea of "good taste" is alien to you because how can one style be judged better than the other? You are also not the one to follow what someone has currently decided is "fashionable." To you it's most important that you feel good in your clothes. You like it if people notice an interesting detail you're wearing and you have some taste for extravagance but you don't spend hours composing outfits. This laid-back attitude leaves you plenty of time for other things in life and still most people remember a few interesting outfits they saw on you. I don't know if you wear hippy clothes but perhaps they would match your philosophy? The opposite style from yours is Uptown Girl/Boy [Tasteful Conventional Deliberate Sexy].
