you'll never believe this, but my car fell victim to a hit + run tonight. some guy backed into it while i was parked at rhonda's and then sped off! i heard something and saw some car lights while i sat on her couch, when i looked out the window i saw him stop then drive off. there doesn't seem to be much damage. the side head-light is dislodged, it looks like an eye-ball hanging out, but other than that it seems to be ok. i realize my batmobile isn't worth much, but it's been a good little car to me and i'm not happy about it being treated so badly. a hit and run was uncalled for. for goodness sakes, they could have at least got out to look at the damage and apologize. what a chicken. i THINK i've managed to reattach the headlight – it still works properly – but i'll be able to get a better look in the morning.
tracy and i went to the santa claus parade tonight, and rhonda, isaac and rhonda's friend tess joined us a little later. it was cold, and we waited over an hour before it passed us in front of the goat. but it was alright. the parade has improved drastically since i was last there 10 years ago. this may sound harsh to some or most of you, but i hate santa. when i have children, i'm going to try my hardest to emphasize the whole st. nick aspect of santa, because that's a really beautiful tale. he wasn't about commercialism, he was about meeting real needs! for example, he would provide dowries for girls from large families so they wouldn't be forced into prostitution! that's amazing, what a nice guy! i looked santa claus up on wikipedia the other day, and found the european/middle eastern take on him much more appealing. i especially liked the swedish father christmas who rides around on the back of a goat. heehee.
pray for peace people everywhere.
