No noose is good noose...

CAR!! YAY!! Hahahaha!! What are the freaking odds? What are the freaking odds that my mechanic would go to the junkyard looking for parts for a 1993 Mazda Protege and they would have a 1993 Mazda Protege in BETTER freaking condition than my old one, with nothing wrong with it so much as a blown radiator?

I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK!!!

Ok, so its a different color. Ok, so the other one tried to kill me because I had the front half of it pretty much ripped off and the airbag didn't even deploy. So what. It's not a fucking Buick.

And as difficult as it was to swallow my pride and return to the Patch, I went and talked to Marci today, and I re-start work next Wednesday (probably). I hope its better. I hope so much its better. Not that I'll be working a whole bunch anyway when school starts. Argh! I'm so ready for class to start...except classes starting means that I have payments due for the semester. Not so good, nuh unh. Not so good at all. You know how much it sucks having no money and expensive habits. Not that they're harmful habits. Music, books, education...you know, stuff that is supposed to be good for you. *Sigh* Ah well.

Adaptation. Rent it. It's freaking brilliant. A movie about a guy who writes a movie based on a book, but he can't seem to make it work, so he winds up asking his jackass twin brother to help him, and then things get strange with drugs and affairs and alligators attacking strange herbologists with no front teeth and car wrecks with park rangers---fucking brilliant. It's artsy, therefore not one of those movies that just anyone can appreciate.
