well, as it turns out, the $$ i make from shows #1 and #3 will not be spent on a shiny new pda like i had hoped. it will be spent on part of a new fuel pump and coolant sensor for my car. i say "part" because the $450 total dollars in fees from those shows will cover about 2/3 of the cost of the new pump and sensor.

today i hate my car. i had a '91 escort before this.. it was old, but did everything i asked it to. the whole purpose of selling that and getting a newer car was so i could budget for payments instead of surprise $400 radiators and shocks. that has not proved to be the case, and i could not be more pissed about it.

cars suck.
