Well, today has been an interesting day so far. I went to the animal shelter around 11:00 and it was closed (as it was yesterday, and there must be something I'm missing because the volunteer hours they said this week would be 9-5, and it was well after 9 and well before 5), so then I went to the Spectrum and bought Serenity on DVD because I was too impatient to see if I'd get it for my birthday and I had the urge to see it. Then I got some ice cream and went to my car to eat it. Oh, and after I was done, the car wouldn't start.

Yeah. I sat there for 30 minutes trying to get it to start and even ended up calling my mom who I hadn't wanted to call because she was at a memorial service for her friend's mother, and she told me she'd come when she could. So I continued to sit there and finally I tried it and I worked, so I let her know and then drove home. Well, guess what happened on the way home? The car stopped. Just like my mom's car did last week when I was driving it. sigh. So I tried to pull over to the right side of the road, but I was right in front of an intersection, so I was pretty much just blocking the right-hand turn lane. Luckily, I was able to get it to start about 10 minutes later (and I was like... less than a mile from home. Like... I don't even know how to describe how close I was. It's like a 2 minute drive, pretty much) and eventually managed to get home.

There was a light going off on the dashboard though when I was driving and I looked it up in the owner's manual and it means engine malfunction. So I guess we're going to have to take it in to get the engine repaired.

So, yeah. That's been my day so far. Why am I having such terrible luck with cars lately?

So, during sectionals today at Office Hours, I realized that I left my neck strap at home. uh. Not good. I'm not doing very well at preparing for music-related things. The chair test went all right. Emma thinks it's going to be me first, Emma second, and Sado third, but I don't know. I think Emma could've beaten me. And Sado messed up more, but his instrument wasn't working right, and he had a really nice sound, anyways. So, I don't know. We'll see. It's not like it matters very much.

Football game tonight, but I signed up to leave early, since I have a lot of things to study for and a good amount of homework.

SERENITY IN ONE DAY! And wheee, Lulu can go! Awesome. :D

Everwood is premiering tonight, but unfortunately I won't be able to see it because of the game. Probably won't be able to see any Thursday night TV until Friday night or Saturday night. bah.
