so outa here....

rejoice. rejoice i say.

on thursday evening i walked out of the door at work, having left my crackberry (blackberry for those that have not been cursed with one) on my desk and went home.

it's holiday time. 2 weeks. headed off to vancouver. huzzah.

of course, it started with having to replace the alternator on the car (bad voltage regulator - had some funny stuff happening). and then the tires were pretty worn. ok, bald. and something was leaking radiator fluid. and the brakes should probably be checked. and the oil is due to be changed. and the main belt needs to be replaced. what's that? brakes? front and back pads? and calipers? and drums? and rotors? and cylinder on the rear right side?

sigh.... i probably could have bought a new(er) car for what i put into mine this year. but i still have the feeling any car at that price would still require another thou of work at least.

hmmmmm....... so the car is in good shape, but after $2K+ i can't actually afford to go to vancouver.

bwa ha ha ha ha.... fuck it. i'm going anyway! and hitting seattle too. and i'm putting it all on plastic, just like the car repairs.

so.... look for me in about 2 weeks time. (not that i post frequently as it is at the moment.) i will have intermittent computer access at best. if at all.

and if you're nice (err... if i'm not totally lazy) i may even have some photos.
