I have my car back! Woo! And the total bill came out much lower than expected. I will have to go back and check the math, but I might have actually gained money from the whole mess. Maybe not, after I pay Enterprise Rent-A-Car for my rental for the last couple of weeks. Anyway, I <3 my awesome lady mechanic at Zimbrick ( Read more... )

Hoo-ray! I finally talked Mom into going to Ireland with me next summer! About five days in Dublin, then three of hiking/sightseeing/W.B. Yeats-reading in Sligo! Yay! Hopefully we won't kill each other during 10 days of close quarters. Also, Aer Lingus' airfare deals are awesome, despite the company's unfortunate name.

-A ticket to a free preview of Spiderman 3
-A pint of Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream
-A new dorm room
-"The Queen" (starring Helen Mirren) on DVD

Life is really, really good.

"Myron"? Awesome.

Mmmm...just came home to the sight/sounds of one of my neighbors beating the shit out of his freshman girlfriend. Just when I think the guys on the floor have hit the lower limit of their douchebaggery, they always manage to whip out a surprise. I hope she's okay...it sounded like she limped off a couple of minutes ago...
