Of crashes, stupid people and life

La-la-la...

Thursday at 4:00pm… Minding my own business, arriving just in time to my beloved hometown so I could get to my office and pick up some stuff… I do the unthinkable! I stopped at the red ligt… And this… lady… crashes against my car’s back door. So, breathing in and out I get off the car to check the damages and speak to the lady. She starts arguing that I stopped suddenly and that what the heck was I thinking. Whatever. I just called the police station and so we waited for their arrival. Then the lady starts arguing with the officer about it… How could I dare to stop at the red light? The officer cut her cold and simply said “Lady, I give tickets of $250 to people who don’t stop at red light, $150 to people who accelerate on yellow light, and I only have to look at the cars to know you were not keeping a prudent distance.” Yay! I didn’t have to say much, thank God because I think nothing nice would have come out of it. Coriolis advised me to do a general checkup at the clinic, in case I have new pains later on… My neck-shoulders-back-lowerback conditions are getting worst by the second…So on Friday had to go to ACAA. Got a date for the compulsory insurance and so on Wednesday there will be the next chapter of the drama…

The electrician could not go to finish things on the weekend, and may go on Tuesday morning. The mage spoke with his shadows and the cistern should be up next Sunday… If nothing else happens… Also, hopefully, we can finally take the fridge, washer and stove from their respective destinies…

So, for variety, these last days have been draining both physically and mentally. We just want to get things over so we can finally move out from auntie’s place… She has been kind enough to have both of us there, but her constant meddling and asking and inquiring and nosing is beyond unnerving. We need our own space, heck, I need my own space!

Feeling quite tied up in everything… With both cars broken it all adds up to more financial doom. I hope that the insurance covers my cars expenses because if not I won’t be able to fix the car until Xmas… And I hope the mage’s car stop misbehaving at least for the next five months… What we saved up for the house repairs is gone now… Ugh! What else can we do…

Groundel needs a wheelchair, so that is another story. Looking for wheelchair rentals, o algo. His operation seems ok so far, he was nauseous the first day thanks to the meds and the anesthesia, but seems to be getting better by the hour.

Nothing of further interest in Neverland… In movie-land, here are the two I went to see…

Bridge to Theradipia: Not what I thought it would be, but delightful in a Narnia kind of way. Loved the girl’s drive, hated the ending but it had its purpose. Its like a nice stroll through how imagination should be…

Ghost Rider: Well… it was all about the effects. I know that if Trilogy saw it he must have been pleased with the eye candy… So he looked cool… so what… Hated Cage’s acting (or lack of) and the dialogues sucked badly. Whoever collects the comics won’t like the storyline… Legion was killed off in the most stupid predictable way…
