Tonight was fun and pretty messed up. Details:

This evening I drove around with some people in Pugs’ car. Mike found a car he’s interesting in buying out in Sackville — it’s a 1991 Mazda MX-6. Power moon roof (what it is that distinguishes this from a sun roof, I will never know), power windows, air conditioning, standard transmission. Great condition, too, but 265,000 km on it. The price is something like $2,000, though, so it might be worth it. Who knows?

Later on, Pugs and Nick and I drove around aimlessly, and managed to get pulled over by the cops on the way to Mic Mac Mall. Pugs was rather freaked out, but the cop had only pulled us over because he saw the laptop and thought Pugsley was watching television. He said my laptop was kickass. Anyway, all went well with that, and we found out that you can drive after midnight with an N on your license as long as there is someone in the car with a full license. Score. Following our adventure with law enforcement, Nick let us into the mall so I could pee. It’s really weird being in a completely deserted mall. But we got to see the wonders of the female bathroom. It smelled less like urine than the guys bathroom, but it had creepy metal boxes in the stalls. The toilets were actually super-toilets, capable of completing a flush in less than a second. Crazy.

Anyway, I’m going to bed due to excessive sleep deprivation. Tomorrow I have to fix the dryer situation. Since our current dryer has been on its last legs for about three years, we’ve had a backup in the basement. It’s yellow and ancient and very 1960s, and thanks to Joey, we know that it had a new drum installed on August 11th, 1982. However, it doesn’t have a plug, so I have to rip the one off of the old dryer and splice it on the “new” one. Sigh. At least I’ll finally be able to do my laundry. My backups are almost depleted! Poor me.
