First of all, I found out what happened to my car. Apparently she was pissed at me, because she bucked and snorted and wildly threw a piston rod straight into the block, cracking hundreds of pounds of cast iron in the process. And apparently it was just her time to go; there was no particular reason for the engine to burn up. Hopefully it wasn't an attempt at suicide, because I'm woefully replacing the engine and getting on with my life. Maybe she'll be a little less ornery from now on.
I had to get all snazzed up today before class. The day had finally arrived for me to go deal with that bullshit "failure to notify the department of your new address blah blah blah" ticket I recieved a few months ago. So, after class, I called my boss to tell him I'd be late because of court and then began the 10 or so block walk from campus to the courthouse. Court began at 2:00. I was walking out the door at 2:03.
"Can I see your license please?"
"Here you go."
"Is this where you live?"
"Yes it is."
"You're free to go."
That was
it. Fuck that stupid douchebag of a cop for making me go through all the trouble of going to court twice for nothing.
Afterwards I had to drive to Marietta where I attended a Holiday Product Expo for work. Of course, we've stocked everything they presented for a few months now, so, as usual with Radioshack activities, it was a complete waste of time. I could have been out drinking, dammit.
Well, that's not exactly true; last night at midnight an atom bomb hit the Nagasaki of my social and academic lives: Halo II was released. Naturally, the xbox has been on for the last 29 hours or so.

That sucks about the block. I have nightmares about that happening.
My late, beloved, 740Turbo did the same exact thing. For a car that was only 8 years younger than me... it sure was a spiffy ride.
Alas, I was too short on funds to afford the new intercooler / engine / radiator / several other damaged parts.
Too broke even to afford her the burial at sea she deserved.
Happy belated birfday.
Apparently i'm the only person on the planet who owns an xbox but NOT Halo2.
