“This Post Is Newer Than Every Post That Preceeds It”
.: I had a real long post prepared about my trip to BodyWorlds3 last Thursday, but the internet goblins came and stole my post and won’t give it back. Ah well; that’s what I get for not saving. I had lots to say, too. For isntance, here’s a picture of the centipede in my shower:

.: I haven’t seen him for a few days, so I can only assume he either escaped from the bathtub, or he ventured too far down the drain.
.: There was more to that post than dead plastic people and centipedes, I swear. However, all of that seems unimportant compared to the news I received today: I will be getting a new car. Come Wednesday, I will say goodbye to my old Jetta and say hello to my new Jetta. The key differences are as follows:
Old Jetta
Old
Busted
New Jetta
New
Hotness
.: In an unfortunate repeat of last summer, my old Jetta decided it need expensive repairs in order to run properly. Since I won’t be repairing it, however, I won’t get much on the trade-in, which is estimated to be a whopping $300. My car right now is worth no more than $300.
.: Which is fine, I guess, because it really is a piece of crap now. I mean, I’ve had many a good time with it in the past, and it got me where I wanted to go . . . but it doesn’t have a working AC, and that’s just unacceptable, especially in Houston.
.: Believe it or not, there’s more to this story than I’m willing to share right now, mainly because it’s rather personal and I have striven to keep anything remotely personal off this blog, for fear that it might cause interest of some sort.
Now, will this new car be one of the ones taking us to Vegas?
The Bonneville is even worth more than that. We sold it to Allen for $500. I win again, it seems. And also: “I have strove”? I’m pretty sure that strove isn’t even a word. At least grammatical errors won’t really cause interest either.
Heh, heh. I laughed out loud at work and got some funny looks :-)
Hopefully Tommy Lee Jones won\\\’t end up taking the wheel from you this time.
(Incidentally, I saw some centipede in my shower recently. Weird.)
