In which I find myself driving around at dusk.

Last night I hung around the office ’til 5:30 or so, updating my iPod and surfing blogs. Then I rolled past the bar but Bread wasn’t there and since Amazon Blonde doesn’t work there any more there was hardly any chance of getting a decent bloody mary.

It was going to be dark soon, so I headed home to change my headlight. That little enterprise took longer than you’d think — many screws need to be removed to swap out one’s headlight.

After that, I drove past the Libertyville bar, but Bread wasn’t there either.

Drove back to town.

Apparently I didn’t adjust my new lamp very well, because two people flashed me when I had my low beams on. I’ll have to fiddle with that.

Stopped at the gas station for gas (still two-something a gallon) and cigs. Drove back by the Dead Cock. Where in the hell is my hubby getting drunk?

Cell phone rings. He’s at the bowling alley, and if I stopped by he’d buy me a drink.

So I went over there, and he bought me a drink. Then he wanted $15 bucks for something. *rolleyes*

After awhile, I left for rehearsal. My voice really opened up last night and felt good; I don’t know why last night rather than any other night but sometimes that happens. We worked on a song I wrote and afterwards PK gave me shit about being indifferent about originals when I first joined the band. “You shrugged and said you weren’t into it, and then you bring us this!”

In other news, I think I’m gonna put Linux on my iPod because my brother did it. Plus, who doesn’t want Space Invaders and Pong and Asteriods and a Matrix screensaver on her 5th gen iPod?!

    yes! yay for women who know how to use tools! 😉
    headlights on older models used to be SO easy – just pop out the old one and in with the new.
    and alignment. so easy to get off-kilter in newer cars…

    You should park your car on a level surface around 10-15 feet from a wall. The adjustment screws are usually indented, and some of the newer cars have levels built into the headlight to help you adjust. Just make sure and frequently check to make sure you’re going the right direction.
