Monday morning

[yendi]

So, I'm at home today, taking a sick day as my back's been in some major pain. I'm getting some writing done (me, behind on Bookslut reviews? Never!), and getting more work done on Elayna's room.

Because Elayna's going to be here in eight hours! Yay!

Haven't seen my kid all summer, and much as I admit that I enjoy the occasional extra bit of free time, I enjoy hugs from my daughter a hell of a lot more.

So, yeah. I expect to be pretty happy tonight. :-)

In other news, watched the latest Mythbusters today. Useful stuff, as they disproved the idea that you can prank someone by putting sugar in their gas tank. Or that you can blow someone up by shooting their gas tank. Or that a banana in a tailpipe will hurt the car. But they did establish that car doors won't stop many bullets, so don't hide behind one in a shootout.

Anyway, off to write and clean and rest.

Not sure on the sugar in the gas tank...a cousin of mine got VERY pranked on that by a psycho ex-girlfriend....

Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/autos/grace/sugar.asp) just busted that one themselves.

Trying to recall that incident with the cuz...Must have been as with sand getting to the engine...it was years and years ago and I recall him being VERY VERY pissed over it and that it was mega damage to his car(he restores cars and dirt track races, so replacing a gas tank or filter wouldnt enrage him that bad)...then again maybe I'm just going senile...plus that gal was rather bad news(if I could pick lottery numbers like this cousin picks gals with problems)...
