Purple Plaything woes
I'm $80 poorer. That's what it cost to have the back tire and inner tube replaced on my Purple Plaything, which is still a Honda scooter and not a sex toy.
I was parked outside a store last week when a guy walked by and said my back tire was about to pop. Sure enough, the danged thing was quite bald. The tire, not the guy. The guy may have been bald, but he was wearing a hat, so I'm not sure. Anyway, it was several days before I was able to get it replaced at the local motorcycle place. My brother tried to do it himself, but he ended up pinching the old tube in the process.
So I'm poorer but once again mobile. Which means I can do some shopping again, but I can't afford to buy anything. Not that I really could before, come to think of it.
You may be wondering why I hadn't noticed how bald the tire was. It's because I'm an idiot. I hadn't really looked at the tire recently. I knew it was going bald, but I hadn't realized it was that bad. I'm not exactly the most observant of people.
In other news, I got my hair cut today, and for the first time in my life, someone actually cut it exactly like I wanted it. Let us rejoice in this momentous occasion, as it's unlikely to happen again.
In nekkid breasts news, I would just like to say I think Janet Jackson should never have bared her right boob at the Superbowl. Next time, she should flash them both. I have a thing for symmetry.
In Celine can read news, I recently discovered the writings of the nifty bard Zee. You can check 'em out at:
Zee's Stories
Of those I've read so far, my personal favorite is Past is Present, though though Comic Book Life is rather spiffy, as well. So go read them. Those not familiar with alternative uber stories, though, should probably read the disclaimers first. There be lesbians contained within. I consider that a good thing, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Speaking of lesbians, I'm off to go ponder the fact Melissa Etheridge has a new CD out and I no money to buy it. There are worse things in life, to be sure, but this is Melissa Etheridge. She also has a DVD out which I don't have.
Someday I shall have them. Oh, yes, I shall.
Unless I won't.
