My stupid car (don't listen, little Shapiro) got a flat tire: thankfully not a blow-out. I've had enough of those. But I called AAA (I think my parents really get their money's worth from that service -- I've probably used it 5 or 6 times in the last 3 years -- stupid Memphis) and got the spare put on. Then I drove all the way out to Walmart, waited in line, only to be told that they weren't accepting any more tire orders for the night. Sigh.
Two redeeming things for the evening: I heard Shakira's "La Tortura", which I am starting to love.. and on my way home, I saw the guy at a Shell station changing the prices sign from $3.29 to $2.99.
You just KNEW I was going to comment on the price of gas at some point. Everyone's talking about it. That and Hurricane Katrina, about which I really only have two things to say: I wish I could donate blood, and that Rhodes is accepting students displaced from the hurricane. I'm not sure where they're putting them since our housing situation is packed and almost overflowing. At least that's how Res Life paints the picture for us.
I better get started on my homework. I wasted my afternoon and evening, obviously.
