- hanging around at home
- off to coyote point for quick tour of animals. petted tortoise. Saw a toad. much gossip learned about aviary population.
- off to test-drive cars. drove them. Came home to call around other local places for price,options, etc. (all a bit different from 2 weeks ago when I called them all the first time.) Wished a bit for it to be red, maroon, black, or purple, while knowing that's totally retarded and the important thing is that i get a cheap car that does not break that I'll drive for the next 10 years.
- Went back and *bought a car*
- woot! omg! fuck!
- crushing weight of guilt. Could have gone longer with 13-year-old truck, still perfectly good. Huge waste of money. Spoiled princess.
- omfg i have this damn cute car!
- hideous realization that i want it airbrushed with sparkly purple flames and tumbling dice. But, D & D dice.
- Home to play board games and babysit Jo's kids! Rook and I played board games, sat around talking about books...
More later about the omfg car. It's like a little blue whale - a scrunched up baby whale. You know how if you're short, you can't barely ever find pants that don't need hemming? This car doesn't need hemming.. I fit inside it w/out feeling like a dwarf.
I'll record the details of my car-buying experience tomorrow!
A little blue whale? You are kidding, right? You do know that around here, the car I want to buy is referred to as a "whaley boy car" 'cause it looks like a whale and reminds us of Christopher Moore's "Fluke"....
