well well well...guess life in suburbia isn't immune to crime...mom's car got broken into...we learned this when a neighbor down the street called, having found mom's old purse out in the yard...not a good way to meet the neighbors...looks like the criminals didn't care for mom's taste in cd's and couldn't get the keys, so they just threw everything out and headed down the street...maryann is the neighbor that called - she had her car stolen, they got the keys by using the garage door opener in the car, i guess...mom was lucky.

got to do some bonding with the Pooky tonight - he's looking for a new car, so i went car shopping with him...i've had much better luck with cars i've bought on my own than with anything "dad" has helped us out on...only had one to pick from at greenwood saturn, so i suggested we check out Circle City Car - he wasn't really into it, but decided to humor me, and he found one he really likes - imagine that! hell, 4 of my co-workers have bought vehicles there and i haven't heard any complaints...of course, it all depends on whether or not he can get financing...a 20 year old with a $9k car loan? well, he seems to think he can handle it...i'm much more low-rent than he is, i guess...

My co-workers know me all too well...we're talking about movies and my complete and utter lust for angelina jolie and i said "she can eat crackers in my bed any day!"...kim's response: "that's not ALL she can eat in your bed!" heh heh heh, yeah, i guess you're right kim...

all was well and good until i got to work...kim's in a shitty mood, but isn't saying why...nothing like a cranky boss to make a job miserable...hell, she's got enough PTO, if she needs a mental health day she should go ahead and take it...*growl*...there's no reason for me to be in a shitty mood, she's just managed to transfer her misery to the rest of us here in the department...

majorly wicked storm happened while i was at work tonight, as the sun was setting...unfortunately i was at WORK and couldn't go out to check it out and really enjoy it...i like storms like that, when the atmosphere is completely unpredictable and awe inspiring. i swear, the sky was just about every color you could imagine - gray, white, blue, purple, red, orange, yellow, green...totally funky.

talked kim into letting me have next sunday - my birthday - off, even if i still have to do the video eeg as it's presently scheduled in november...it's not that i have to have my b-day off specifically (especially when it's on a sunday, like this year), but with games night being friday and mah jongg being saturday (we have GOT to get new makeovers done!!!!) i'm not sure when/if i'll get to see matt, paige & adam. i've freaked mom out a bit - i've been telling everyone that this is going to be my last birthday...after 29, i'm not having any more...she seems to think i'm planning on DYING, hence no more birthdays....naah, i plan on sticking around, i'm just not going to get any older...

kazaa certainly has aimster beat...lots more crap to snag! now i just need a freakin' cable modem so i don't hafta stay around mommy's to download shit...but i just can't see paying fifty bucks a month for the damned thing...
