Vader has had his bath and looked quiet sharp. Until I drove him home, now he's all dusty again. But at least there is a fresh layer of wax under the dust to help keep the bugs from sticking.

I got to drive the NSX today. Which really was why I decided to try and re-learn how to drive a standard. It was actually a lot easier to drive than the Scion and I stalled a lot less. Also I can die happy now because I love that car. If Mom still has it when she dies there will probably be a knock down drag out fight between me and He-man over who gets it if her will doesn't specify.

Today I am in acting part one of what I've been calling in my head, OMG Gas Cost How Much?!

I bought a bike. A very nice purple Mongoose mountain bike. A 21 speed with a shock absorber connected to the seat and an aluminum frame. May end up buying a better seat for it though, the little skinny one it came with doesn't work well with my not as skinny behind.

Now I need to get myself slowly used to biking again and build up to biking the 4 miles to work on the ATV trail that starts right across from my apartment. There is a guy in my department at work who lives with in sight of my place and he's probably going to start biking as well. I told him we could be bike buddies.


Point of interest on this post, took me like four tries to spell exercise close enough to correct for the spell check to understand what I was trying to spell. I spelled aluminum right on the right try. I'm not sure how I managed that.

Test drove one of the new Ford Fiestas today. I think I made Jazz jealous. I did quite like the car, but the one that was the style I'd want had way more options than I had any need for. The poor sales man really wanted to sell me one, but I want to get my hands on the Fiat 500 Abath before I make any decisions. Plus Jazz isn't paid off yet. Not I plan to keep him more than 8 years, because that's when the warranty on the engine block expires and then I'd be stuck paying for a new engine if the coolante decides to leak into the engine block after it expires.

Just picked Jazz up from the garage and he is as good as new now. Woot. Have an appointment tomorrow at 1:30 to get him inspected and then I shall be all kinds of road legal and stuff. Well if he passes and I'll be a little miffed if he doesn't.

T. has gone to work and I'll see him tomorrow night. The probably just go up with him Sunday night and help them getting stuff set up Monday before coming back down. Need to drive my grandmother to the airport at 2am Tuesday morning so I'll be spending Monday evening/night at her place. She's going to Brazil, must be nice.

Tomorrow I also need to stop at a place in town that is evidently hiring. Yeah if I get it it'll be a hike once I'm moved, but it'll at least be a job and some money coming in so I can try and make my car payment on my own. T. doesn't really want to have to pay that for me and I don't really want to end up so dependant on him that I need him to do that for me.

Well it looks like I'm actually going to get stuff accomplished today after all. The dog has been walked and I even made it over to Mom's to clean Jazz. Mind you I didn't give him a bath this time. Just rinsed him off. However the inside was vacuumed, widexed and armoraled were applicable. So he's all spring cleaned. I even took out the front floor mats and hosed them off.

Now I need to start thinking about getting me clean, I have to leave in about two hours so I have a little time to goof off still.

Made it to Auburn and back. Go me. Hub driver's friends are pretty cool, had a good time hanging out with everyone. A bunch of us went and saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall after we left the bar. Movie was actually decent. Saw way more of the male lead than I ever wanted to.

Was a good day. Now have really bad headache. Sleep soon I think.

Oh that's right I got about 150 miles on a quarter tank of gas. Go Jazz.

So yesterday I asked Mom if it was okay if I went over and washed my car today. She said sure. I asked if everything I needed was easily found/out. She said yes.

Evidently she thinks you don't need a sponge, a bucket or a nozzle for the hose to wash a car. *headdesk* So really Jazz got rinsed off and I managed to scrub the patch tar off his door. Really if I'd found a bucket I would have been okay. I used a rag to get the tar off and used my thumb to spray the water from the hose.

So today at work I'm going to buy a bucket and a sponge and hope for good weather tomorrow as well. Might buy touch up paint too. He's got a scratch on his door that might need it and two chips on the hood. Poor car.

Today was a good day. I had way to much soda and five pieces of pizza at work. Plus I got to take the left over pizza, a whole pizza!, home.

Also we've got oil change/tire rotation packages on sale right now. So I had that done, only cost me $20.09, which is more than the sale price, but not bad considering my car doesn't take the bulk oil, and randomly has a 4.6 quart system. So any who Jazz Spencer Smith is all happy for another 6,000 miles or so, oil wise any way.

Went to mom's. She trimed my hair for me. I'm sure no one at work will notice, but it does look different to me. Also I told her the sale and now I'm making her an appointment for Wednesday to have her oil changed and tires rotated. If I was better at driving a stick I'd just bring the car in for her tomorrow. But I'm not, so for now it'll just have to be when she can make it in. I swear this summer, I'm going to learn how to drive a stick if it kills me.

In other news I bought turquoise liquid eyeliner. Consequently I'm now wearing turquoise eyeliner. It looks pretty green to me, but I still like it. It's much more vivid than the purple I bought a couple months ago. Although it doesn't look so hot with the bronze eyeshadow I put on this morning.

All the soda and caffeine is starting to catch up with me, I'm getting twitchy. This should be fun, to much caffeine, plus time change, plus early morning tomorrow. I'm going to have to prop my eyelids open at work.

Work was pretty slow today. Slow enough that I ended up going out in the parking lot and checking to see if Jazz needed a new air filter. He did. So I bought one and filled up his washer fluid too. Yay for car maintenance?

When I'm feeling less poor I may order a K&N air filter. Which could help his gas millage. Plus it never needs to be replaced, just cleaned. It does however cost as much as 5 regular air filters. Thus the waiting until I feel less poor thing. I still need to get new glasses.
