My finger didn't deserve this

On Saturday morning, while exiting my car at Bagelheads on Apalachee Pkwy, I slammed my left index finger into my car door.

Actually, I somehow closed and latched the door while my finger was in between the closed driver's door and the closed rear driver's side passenger door. If that doesn't make sense, then nevermind --- the point I'm trying to make is that it hurt like hell, but I don't think I'm going to lose the nail.

August Update

I'm just not good at this three blog thing. I apologize for not updating this one much lately.

We are now in the month of August, so allow me to quickly hit all the marks for July:

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, and hated it.

My grandfather came to visit in July. It was really nice to see him, and I hope he can return again soon and/or that I can go up to Virginia to visit.

Do You Like to Obsess Over Fuel Economy?

If so, fueleconomy.gov has a service for you. My MPG allows you to track the fuel consumption of your vehicle(s), and by contributing to the database of real world fuel economy, you can see how your vehicle ranks amongst others of varying models and years. I'll start logging as soon as I fill up again, which in my V6 Toyota Tacoma pickup shouldn't be much more than a few days from now.

My New Truck!

Saturday morning, I got my truck. It is a beautiful dream: 2003 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner V6 in black with oak interior, with 17" alloy wheels, keyless entry, extended cab, power everything, 6-speaker CD/Cass/FM stereo, bucket seats, automatic transmission, cruise control, and that new car smell. It’s another lease vehicle, but before you begin the criticism, realize that I couldn’t afford it any other way. I’ll be posting pictures as soon as Jess gets back from her Keys trip. (She has the digicam.)

Seven Days!

Seven days from now, I’ll be in possession of my new truck. I’m pretty excited. Also, in seven days, my eBay auction of a Hauppauge WinTV TV Tuner/Video Capture card will be complete. I plan on listing more stuff I’ll never use again, but maybe not tonight.
