So thursday was my b-day, thanks for all the b-day wishes 
So far this year of my life has had giant chunks of suckage.
all starting a bit after midnight on wednesday night (so it was technically thrusday, and therfore my b-day)
After a nice scary/relaxing night of sparrign with my kenjutsu instuctor with 4ft 20lb steel poles at pretty much full speed and with strength I head over to pick macgrrl up from bingo. leaving the gym would be about 12.
after driving a couple blocks in my car it starts to vibrate. then it revs and jump a bit when i'm stopped. i get a bit worried about it so i hurrily pick zoe on and head for home. after a block or 2 the check engine light turns on. I pull over, take a quick glance at the engine to see if there is anything my unqualified eyes can spot, and then decide to drive it home. At this point it's about 12:30. hoping on 676 i notice my car is having trouble going 50, let alone 55. the flashers go on. We hurry home. My car strungles up the hill the house is on and I finally park it. The smell of burning rubber is overwhelming.
Thursday day is insane at work. the raid controller on one of our database servers dies.
Thursday night we can't go do the plan for the evening (dinner and then the closing night of platinum) and instead stay in.
Friday Another DB goes down. this time taking down our system logging functionality. 2 hours later i'm able to get it back up. uhg
but then tonight I saw Team America: World Police. It made all the bad suckiness goe away. oh man that movie was funny, I was laughing still on the way home.
but now i'm looking for a new car to replace the suckiness that is my current car. the cost of repairs and the stuff i need to get done to it would well surpase the cost of a nice size down payment on a new car.

So, we needs to get together for drinks and crap. Since I'll be having weekday nights off again, we should hit up happy hour some place. Let me know what you think....
