And then I tried to blow up my car...

Weeeell... not quite. But I think my car's going to blow up any time something goes wrong. Thankfully, my mom's boyfriend is very good with cars, so he was able to talk me through it on the phone. Apparently my radiator was completely out of coolant, so d4ni and I went and bought some and filled it back up. Which sounds super simple, but I'm pretty stupid when it comes to car stuff. Just getting the hood up was a challenge, and then I had to find the right parts based on crappy diagrams in the manual.

So I really hope there's not something seriously wrong. I don't particularly want to spend lots of money fixing my car again, but I'm just about to move across the country again, so I'd have to. Cars really are too much trouble. Public transit please!


WTF... The Mole is on again? No wonder I don't watch TV these days. I can't wait for the Olympics to start so I can watch cool stuff like synchronized swimming, white water kayak, trampoline, or skeet shooting. (I'll be at home enjoying my mom's fancy cable.) Anyone else thinks the IOC should resurrect Olympic croquet? Anyone for some tug of war?

I have to look in the user's manual for my car every time I need to open the hood. I wish I were kidding. So, I empathize with your experience. :P Good luck with the repairs!

I do theoretically know how to open the hood, but the little latch on it is kind of broken, so it only opens about an inch and gets stuck! I did make it to work this morning without the car overheating. So far, so good.

Yeah, probably. When I tried to watch TV shows on my computer all the US networks were blocked. Who's showing the games in Canada? CBC? Maybe they'll have some online stuff too.
