I’m boring. I’m sorry… and $200 poorer.

Oh today did NOT start well.

I own five vehicles. Now, granted, four of them are scooters. But still. Five. So you’d think I’d have one that worked, huh?

The bus was in the shop. The Bajaj scooter is pretty out of commission. Nikki’s Stella is WAY past registration and inspection. That leaves my blue AllState and my white Stella. I pick the white Stella! Except that it’s leaking gasoline again. Dammit. The glue didn’t hold just like I thought it wouldn’t!

Looks like it’s the blue AllState. so I kick it a billion times and nothing. Not even a sputter. Dammit! So it’s the white Stella with a leaky carb or… walk. Ha! I’m not walking. So I hop on the Stella and am off!

You really shouldn’t ride a scooter or drive a car that has a carb that’s leaking gas. It’s a really crap idea. Try to avoid it, ok?

Anyway, the rest of the day was alright. Until I got the call that the bus was fixed! It wasn’t the break line, but a seal on the break cylinder blew. A seal that ate my wallet out of $200. Which is funny cause I only have $180 in my account. Well… *had*. now I have -$20. Funny, huh? Hilarious. I’ll deposit a few bucks tomorrow and all will be alrightish. This is annoying.

But it’s home. Look at it just TAUNTING me!!

And really, that’s my day. Exciting? My god, not at all. I did Chinese with Corby and that’s about it.

Well sort of.

Right before I went out with Corby, I fixed the AllState (needed a new sparkplug – not exactly fixing). And before that I pulled the carb from the Stella. See?

I’m really sorry that this isn’t more exciting.

Poetry reading coming up. Thursday. Yep.

I’m really sorry. God, I’m boring.
