The Emperor's New Penguin

[foxgrrl]

While everyone else today is talking about the nomination of the president's dog to the supreme court; Here is some current news about my life.

1. I bought a new car yesterday; A 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. It's all silvery and shinny, and runs off batteries, and has Star Trek TNG screen displays, and voice-controlled GPS navigation, radio, and environmental controls. I want to hack it so that it can charge the batteries off of solar panels, and switch it into battery-only mode. That way I can commute to work every day using no gas. (For longer trips of course I'd have to switch it back into gas-hybrid mode.)
   This is the single most expensive object I have ever purchased in my entire life. It cost more than my college education.
2. I moved out of Jeff and tigrise's apartment. Exposition of ensuing drama will be journaled here at a later time. All of my stuff, including my computer, is still packed in boxes, so I'm writing this post from alakani's computer.
3. I'm not sick anymore. I believe that there is a causal relationship between my current health, and #2 above.
