Oh! My first tag! Wheeee....

Happy Ground Hog's Day!

So Lisa tagged me today, and being that it's my first, I'm not too upset about it. *grin*

1. Total amount of music files on your computer?
179 songs, 1.6 days worth. And that's only up to the start of G artists

2. The CD you last bought is?
er....well....um...I'd say it was probably Chumbawamba when I was still in college. Yah, it's been a while

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
No clue, some radio song from WBBB, the Buzz, from Philipsburg PA. I have their web radio on all day at work.

4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you
Sistinas by Danzig, I love the haunting-ness to it.
Coattails of a Deadman by Primus, a super fun song, made even funner when you listen to the lyrics!
Just a Man by Faith no More, Mike Patton is awesome.
Easy Like Sunday Morning, again Faith no More, it's our Sunday Football ritual song.
Hey Ya by Outkast, it's my fun work out song.

5. Who are you going to pass this stick to? (3 persons) and why?
Wow. I'm so new to the blog community that I don't really know many people!
So I first passed it on to Holly because I noticed she hadn't posted to her blog for a while (and she's one of the few people I recognize from the knitty board, and she seems like a fun person.
Then it was Jen because she was the most recent person on the knitty board to post about her new blog.
Now, for the third person, I'm stupped...so if anyone has any suggestions for people who should be targeted for this tortu....er...fun! Just let me know!

Okay, and now for today's adventure. You know how in the morning when you get up, you never think that the day might hold some oddly sick twist for you? That was this morning. Now, we know our Subaru is not long for this world....or atleast won't be without new clutch plates. We're sort of babying her since she's our low-gas car, and it's just nice to have two vehicles too. But she's been showing her distress more often, and this morning was no exception. So you'd think if something were going to go wrong with the car, it'd be that, right. Nope! Coming up an on ramp all of a sudden there was a clumpish sound coming from the front left of the car. We pull over and Nate walks around the car looking for the source. The tires look fine, so we pull a bit further up, for more light (because it's not even 6:30 yet, and very dark out). Ah ha! A stupid bungy cord had found it's way into our front wheel well! Silly bungy cord. Nate pulls it out and we both hear *pffffffff*. Yes folks, that was from the hole where the hoke of the bungy had embedded itself into our tire. So onto the task of gathering the tools to change to the spare tire. After a very dirty fight with the jack, it was all ready, and the tire was changed, and the spare was on. We started off, giggling at the way the car leaned a bit to the front left. And then it happened. Another clunkish sound. We pulled over AGAIN, and would you believe that the spare tire had gone flat! In a matter of 100 yards, flat.

Long story longer, we got a friend up out of bed and while I went to catch a bus into my office, friend came to take Nate and the tires back to our house to hopefully be repaired.

Now, the part where you look back at the morning. "Yes, Nate you should where your (much warmer) pea coat" "Nate do you have your gloves?" Those are just a few of the things that should have been said, but weren't, because why would either of us even think we'd be on the side of the road twice in the span of 20 minutes!

Oh, knitting news? Well, I am so very close to finishing the Clapotis. I'm really anxious to get it done, to the point where I've blown off all studying for the only class I'm taking this semester! Oooops. I just want it all done! I love it already! I want to wear it!

And I'm waiting for the next round of guinea pig money to come in, because I've got myself a yarn order all ready, and it's a doozy! I promise to take pics when I finally get it.
