YES!!! *dances wildly around the apartment in utter glee* 
I just got back from the impound lot with my truck! And it's still intact! And running! YIPEE!!!
*calms self; can't wipe big grin of relief off face* Okay, calm, cool, collected, composed...Whew!
It's still Poetry Day, so maybe I should compose a short verse about my lucky day.
Nah. I'll be late for Kira's birthday...

i would

Tonight's missive touches on a recent sore point for me,
Namely that crime known as "Grand Larceny".
See I own a '67 Chevrolet,
A fine automotive beast,
Three-quarters of a ton is what the payload can weigh,
(On paper at least).

Yet another kickass weekend spent in Royal Oak. *tips hat to Kira for introducing me to Luna*
Friday was a slow night with a decent show from a glamour group from Redford. A full-clothed rendition of what goes on in the VIP room.
Saturday was great. We (oninotaki, myself, and his two friends) ran into two sisters we'd picked up about three weeks...

A travelin' party, eh?
In honor of the Journal Poetry Day, I have composed a handy pronounciation guide for my current state of residence, Michigan.
There's a city in the south called Charlotte,
If you ask its residents if they like their city,
They'll probably reply, "Sure, lots!"
There's a town known as Argentine,
Near my old residence in Fenton,
And I hear it's a wonderful place to...

nice poem. 67 chevy. what model. you're on that side of the state did you happen to attend the woodward dream cruise? coulda used some exhaust retrofitting while i was there. hmm i'll have to keep that in mind. TTFN
Dateline--late Friday night/early Saturday morning.
Thanks to the blackout, Royal Oak had a curfew at 8pm. I figured there'd be no power either, so I didn't go to Luna (at the corner of 12 Mile & Main in Royal Oak); instead I went to a friend's apartment in Auburn Hills for the "Blackout '03" party. Great time.
Anyway, I was drving back to Wixom at...

That traffic experience is weird, but on another topic all together:
Thanks for the note on the Hunter novel. I guess you've finished by now. Good? It seems that I can only find this guy in hardcover, is that right? Were you reading a paper ed.?
I'm reading The Cold Six Thousand right now. If you don't already, you might dig James Ellroy.
Cheers.

Yeah I heard about the blackout it effected some people in CT as well. I always have a hard time holding my mouth when it comes to cops. I have no idea how those tickets would have transferred that's pretty crazy.
One car battery, one 140W DC/AC inverter, and one PB 1400cs/166 later, I'm back online for a few minutes.
No work, no stores, mild traffic--I'm bored. But such is this blackout. No Luna tonight, I bet.
On a side note, the Marathon on Wixom Rd across from the Ford plant had a line that stretched back to 96 (about a mile). Four pumps to service...

missed you on saturday at luna dude, come on down this weekend.
By popular demand, I have posted pics of the bus (I took these in October 2001). It is a beast, to put it mildly. Slow, lumbering, noisy, long (254" wb = wide turns), and a couple thousand pounds under the CDL limit (whew!).
It's awesome to drive. Especially if you are the only one in it. The ULTIMATE Urban Assault Vehicle--an old school bus. I...

but i can see how stashing the bus would be a problem.. Last night I drove 2 hrs & change to K'zoo for the Deja Vu get-together. Got there an hour late, so I was stuck at the "kiddie table" with Bathory. 
Not that it mattered, since OUR conversation was so much more involved (namely, why would sheep have numbers?).
Perhaps the best part, I got a hug from not one, but TWO SGs. That alone was...

Glad to hear it went really well, mike and I had a great weekend including a big get together at luna's on saturday.

Memo to self--five hour jobs take five hours. Not 20. If I were wrenching for a living, I'd make no money.
Functioning on no sleep since 6am Friday, expecting to make it all the way through the K'zoo trip w/o crashing, then drive back to Wixom?
I need a nap. Hell, I'll just sleep on my way across the state. My truck knows the way.

If you're going to K'zoo, let spinoza know. It's the polite thing to do.

EEEK! im so excited!!! See you there
Well, the Ypsi Vu fell through. Luna was, as usual, kickass. Things didn't look good for us three, but fate--once again--dealt us two sisters and a friend. Saints be praised! A massage therapist, a sleep researcher, and, uhh, I don't remember.
Conversation revolved around Johnny Depp and how hot he was (attractive yes, hot no, but I was alone in that opinion; I prefer Jolene...

Went to Luna last night, had a hellacious time. oninotaki & his buddy Mike are good people.
Evidently my returning a drunk chick's money was an admirable act. (shrug) It's just how I was raised. You can mess with drunks, just don't take their money (especially if they're female).

Scratch the above remarks pertaining to work. Someone else was suckered in to cover the shift I was covering, but was I told? Nope.
Oh well. Off to Royal Oak I go in an hour or so.
