Random unrelated stuff
I paid $80.15 to fill my average size car with standard unleaded petrol today (about US$60). That's the first time I've ever broken the $80 mark. Actually it's the first time I've ever broken the $70 mark. What the hell?
Much excitement at the end of my street last night. It was cordoned off for about an hour and half while lots of nice policemen with guns and grim faces dealt with 'issues' at the_house_with_way_too_may_cars. Lots of neighbours and I shivered and gossiped in the street. We summised they were being busted for drugs, or perhaps for painting their fancy hotted up BMWs bright metallic pink and having number plates like '4DACHICKS' (*). In any case the offending cars appear to have been loaded on to trucks and taken away. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
My son is in his first school play tonight and tomorrow. Very exciting stuff. I get to do the 'proud parent' thing tonight, which should be way more fun than the 'frazzled taxi driver parent' thing I have been doing all week, delivering him to rehearsals.
I haven't been to the beach in three weeks, dammit.

Wow...that's a lot of money...what kind of vehicle do you drive? Stupid Hurricane.
That's so awesome that your son is in a play! What play are they doing? I have another audition for "A Streetcar Named Desire" in a couple of weeks.
It's a Mitsubishi Magna (dunno if they have them in the US), basically it's a 3 litre 6 cylinder engine, mid size family car.
Petrol here is cheaper than Europe, but still way more expensive than the USA by the sound of it.
Where I live in NY we are paying $3.15 per gallon. Time to walk!
You got the parent tags down rather nicely I think. :o)
I'm seriously considering actually getting up a half hour earlier than I already do (5:45 am) just to ride my bike to work so I don't have to pay for gas! At least we can commiserate together.
And...I have a neighbor with too many cars too. Wonder what they are up to?
