my car battery died last friday. it wouldn’t start, and CL attempted to push it (apparently cars can start if you keep it moving and turn on the ignition. maybe that’s why you see people pushing cars!). problem is, the car was sitting on a downhill slope. so for CL to give it a running start, he’d have to push the whole car alone, uphill. grunts and heaves with no result, we decided to just forget it and deal with it another day. poor guy, he was exhausted. today, we went to the a new car battery – so all good! he was very sweet in coming all the way from home, taking out the old battery, carrying it to the shop (it is VERY heavy; i tried to lift it!), getting a new one and putting it in. the car runs beautifully and i’m very glad. appreciate it heaps (:
i’ve sat on my study chair for hours on end now, and my butt its starting to take the shape of the chair and the lines are almost permanently imprinted through my pj pants. i’m still not done with the presentation, mainly because i’m unsure: it sounds too crappy, and the material is not in-depth at all. i can already hear the people in class snickering at me. sigh. i’ve still got 100% more to go on this. fingers crossed!
i was going to watch Dirty Dancing again today when i read the news. but my hard drive is spoiled. (damn. nothing seems to be working for me. my light bulb just blew too!) he was so good in the movie, and his determination and inner strength to keep working despite having contracted the illness is such a true reflection of character.
