California

I’m home from California! My goodness, what a vacation. I got to see all the people I love. Go to amazing parties. AND to top it all off, I drove home a new car. Well, new to me. Newer than Ava (1987 300SDL MB.)

 

I have no pictures, because I don’t have a camera, and my ipod doesn’t like to charge ever since it’s swim in the ocean. Sorry! 😦

The new car which I’m currently referring to as “Pearl” is a 1994 325i BMW. My Father got a killer deal on it. And yeah, turns out I’m spoiled sometimes.

I will take some pictures just as soon as I recover my iPod from under the couch (there’s spiders down there so I’ve been putting it off) and get them up here.

I hope everyone’s having a great summer so far!

My Poor Sweet Car

Where to begin? I’ve been having some car trouble.. I had to replace a fuel injector, but now more problems are happening. My car is hemorrhaging oil. OIL! This is no good in a diesel. My car also has 456K miles on record. I’ve been delving deep into MB forums that I’ve followed for years hoping those smart folks can help me out. They’ve helped me fix numerous things before but this might be too much. I lost over 2 quarts of oil going a total of 8 miles. That’s no fucking good.

Front view

Don’t mind the bird poo.

The problem is A) It’s expensive as shit to fix Mercedes and B) I don’t have a bad ass mechanic (nor my Father) here to help me. This car is basically bullet proof though. It’s worth fixing. I could easily get a million miles out of her.

I found a hose that’s bubbling and cracked which I need to replace. I’ve never seen a hose bubble before. It’s got me a bit worried.

Other than that, life is good! I’ve started spending a lot of my spare time helping my Sister work on shoes a bit and have still been looking for a job. It’s kind of hard to look for a job though when your car isn’t working and you live 30 miles away from a bus stop. Brutal.

Hope life is treating all of you well though.

I’ll be happy once this fucking Mercury Retrograde is over.

Bad Manners

I would just like to apologize for my random hiatus. I realize it’s bad manners and bad form for me because my blog is still “new” and I really don’t have archives for people to read.

But I needed it. Oh oh oh did I ever need it.

An incredible friend of mine, J, sent me a sick Motorola Xoom that I’ve been in love with since the moment I opened the box.

I also received my 120 film and adjusted it to fit my (new to me!) duaflex II kodak camera.

These have completely consumed my time. A friend of mine had a birthday party on Saturday which I attended. I spun my poi a little, played games, and drank more than I should have.

I also did that on Friday.

And on Thursday.

And probably a bunch before that too.

You see why I went on hiatus.

Shit got cray.

Yeah I said it.

So now that all of that is out of my system I’m feeling a bit more like myself. A bit more grounded. My head is in a better place.

I had a ridiculous week. I had become financially drained with car troubles and supporting another human. Another adult human. It definitely reminded me I’m in no position to have a baby ever. Not that I really needed reminding. Sorry, that’s pretty off topic.

I would talk about my love life, but I don’t have one anymore. So that’s out too.

Work is awesome. Woo! Ending on a good note.
