I now have a car. I chose the 2002 new car that was discounted, and that had the 75,000 mile warranty. It has windows that I can rollup and down , so I can now go thru drive thru windows again, air conditioning, and lots of stuff I'll just have to get used to--like keyless entry and a car payment.

Today I went looking for cars with my father. Can I think of doing anything that is worse than that? He arrived about 20 minutes after 9 this morning to pick me up. He pointed out before we left that I had a slash in the side of the tire of my current car. When we arrived at the first dealership there were about 6 guys standing out front waiting for when I got out of the car. Luckily, I got a nice one who wasn't too pushy. After going to the first lot my dad decided to wait in the car. Next I went to the used car lot. The guy that showed me the cars seemed nervous, but nice, and told me this was his first week there. There were no prices on the cars at this lot. When I met the manager I was turned off, and then proceeded across the street to the next lot. I saw a used car that I liked, but it wasn't a certified one so, I would only get the factory warranty and 30 days on the rest. I also saw a 2002 there that was discounted and had a 75,000 mile warranty . By the time I got home in the afternoon my head was spinning. Today is the 13th. I don't have a problem with the 13th, I actually kind of like it. Other people's 13 is usually my everyday anyway.

It's been raining for 3 months. Last Saturday afternoon was a partially nice day, I ran around shopping all morning and into the afternoon. It was also the last day to use the $10.00 Linens N Things coupon that I got in the mail. With the coupon I bought an over the door metal coat rack. When I got home I decided to watch the video, The Ring. It is categorized in the horror genre. I was sitting on my futon, and the the ceiling fan was blowing a nice breeze. It's close to the end of the movie, and I'm getting a bit scared. It's windy outside, but not storming, then there is a bang. I feel like I'm in the movie as everything goes dead, and the fan makes it's last twirl. I sit in a stunned silence. An hour and a half later a drenching storm rolls through. About 5 hrs later my power is restored. I go to put the video in the VCR, but it stops at the same point. Since it is dark I decide to watch it the next day. Sunday I try it again, it stops at the same point. It is broken. I will be buying a replacement soon. I still don't know the ending. Yesterday someone conjectured that this wouldn't have happened with a DVD. Maybe I will buy one.

I must go soon, I don't know when I have been so physically exhausted. I get my workout at work. At least I don't need to pay to go to a gym.
