cornerofmadnessThe first gasket blown was over the tests. I looked at the computer stats, the stuff they missed was uber easy stuff AND core to the class. Guess who's getting a worksheet over Easter.
Yesterday something snapped in my car and Yukio began to roar. I'm like uh-oh muffler. Or at least I'm hoping it's that and not a more expensive part of my exhaust. By a miracle Honda could take me today (which I had a day off for advising and no one showed). So...the muffler DID fall off just like I said. 250$. That's not bad. It's original and the car's a '99. However, the oil pan gasket is leaking (which explains why i've been losing oil). To fix it is 275$.
That blew another gasket in my head. WHY is a freaking gasket more than my entire exhaust? Of course they don't have either part (which i sit around for a half hour before they realize this). So i have to go back on thursday (another 80 mile round trip)
I go to Red Lobster to balm my soul. Acutally I don't much like the place but I had a hankering for seafood and it's lobster fest. Well lobsterfest is way overpriced so I get the lobster bisque and some scallops and shrimp scampi. I'm quickly reminded of why i don't like Red Lobster. The bisque was salty with orange oil on it and the scallops were overcooked into erasers.
However on my way out of this mall I see it...had never noticed it before because the mall is tucked off Bridge St. which is too busy for rubbernecking at the stores. Before I know it I'm loose in the Hobby Lobby with no handler to stop me. got more beads for me to do nothing with.
