watch what you wish for

I applied for a parking permit without really thinking about it. I got a parking space. I also got sticker shock -- $600 for the year. I don't even have a car and at this rate and direction of cash flow, will never have one. On the one hand, I really don't want one. On the other, I am planning for certain things that will make it necessary to have a car by January. I'd like to do a bit of volunteering this semester and I just now, this very minute, realized that I might need a car to do that as well. s@#@$$**&! f$%$%^!d$$*(((:!

Also, I am very happy with my new little mac laptop but not so happy that Examsoft, my school's torture device of choice, does not run on macs. Or maybe it does, but on a separate partition of the hard drive running Windows on the Intel chip. And maybe that will void my warranty. CRAP. I should have looked into it further before running out to buy my pretty new toy. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and its been Apple since then. For me its like being left-handed -- it's just how I do what I do. One might think that I am too young to be set in my ways, but one would be wrong. I was such a left-handed baby and I neglected my right hand so much my mother thought I might be retarded in some way. I'm just stubborn.

So I wished for the Mac and wished for the parking space, and now that they are here, I'm not sure what to do with them.

I was reminded of a film I've meant to see today. The film was beloved by someone with whom I had a breif and passionate literary affair. Perhaps that is why I have put off seeing it. Time to finally get my netflix que in order.
