i bought a canoe chair today. kate had one and let me use it at wolfe island music festival last year. they're really neat. i wanted to get it to use at skeleton park this saturday. this is what it looks like. this is how you sit in it (minus the arm gesture). they're kind of a back saver when you're sitting on the ground for long periods of time.
i cleaned out my car today. i did a complete detailing of it for the first time ever. my batmobile is 15 years old and has served me well for 6 years, as it did my sister before me. i wish i'd treated it better, taken better care of it. it's been a good dependable car. the end of our long-term relationship draws near. i had to clean it out because i'm expecting a call any day now that my new car is ready, and i'll take my 93' civic to strathcona for the trade. seeing it so clean and kempt makes me i wish i'd cleaned it that thoroughly for myself from time to time. joy and i both feel a strong nostalgic connection to that car. as silly as it seems i feel like a little more of my childhood goes with it. that's the car i grew into a women in. it was my coming of age car.
it's much easier to keep secrets when there's one one around to tell them to.
it's a small world after all – pang makes local news! clickity
it feels a little worse
than when we drove our hearse
right through that screaming crowd.

what kind is your new car?
that's another entry for another day :) i'll tell you about it when i get it, i don't want to jinx it.
I'm pretty excited you're getting a new car!
so cool that pang is in the kingston paper.
:)
Where would you get such a chair and how much does it cost?
I also develop strong attachments to cars. We had one car that I was happy to see go as it had a habit of leaving me stranded and, on one occasion, even led me to accept a ride home from a strange man, much to Jason's dismay, but all our other cars were hard to say good-bye to, no matter how great the new one was.
i got it at Peak Experience. i went to the downtown location and they said they were closing at the end of the month and didn't have any left. so i went to the one on gardiners road on the way home from work and bought the only one they had left. i suggest trying trailhead. it was $29.99. i'm pretty excited about using it - other than when i sat in it in my living room yesterday.
yes, i had a lemon before my current car. it was special to me inspite of the fact that it seemed to hate me. my mom said once that it's sad getting rid of old cars, but then there's excitement about a new car which usually helps you forget the old car. i hope i don't see the batmobile around town, that'll make me sad.
i can't wait for my new car! i hope they call tonight!
