My car broke down right before an intersection yesterday. I had always been afraid of breaking down like that, but when it actually happened, well -- it wasn't that bad. Actually, it was... kind of lucky that my car cut out when it did.

I had changed lanes early, so I was in the leftmost turn lane rather than in the middle of the street. Also, I could have stalled out on 495 if it had happened during my commute (can you spell NIGHTMARE?). Instead, it happened in Howard County, MD, home of the we're-so-filthy-upper-middle- class-our-policemen- have-nothing-to-do crowd, so a police car arrived pretty much IN TWO MINUTES. Also, the nice officer even tried to give my car a jump start and let me use her cell phone to call my mom (zomg thanks mom).

So I'm out $120 for the tow truck and $270 for the fix, but... coulda been worse! Also, they took care of the oil change while my car was at the shop, so FREE WEEKEND WHOOOO.

Sigh.. guess I'm lucky I have a job to pay for this, huh?

On an unrelated note, uh... bought Radiant Dawn today, though I can't play it till I finish PoR and that WHORE OF A BLACK KNIGHT. Argh.

I did, however, take a look at the manual, and Sothe... uh... WOW HE GOT REALLY HOT that certainly is a midrifftastic outfit.

Also: My quarter-life crisis continues.
