I'm spending $800 on my car today. (Most of it is a new timing belt & water pump for my 8 year old car).

Poop.

I remember when water pumps were cheap. Not no more.

Look at the bright side... cars probably paid for.

yep. It's a 2001 Honda Civic with just over 50,000 miles on it. It's probably good for another ten years.

Ther vomitting thing always helps when I get a migraine, although I don't get them much these days. Same works for my son.

Still in planning stages for Mum's Birthday Treat.
Selfishly, it started out as Cherry's Trip to London to See John Barrowman.
But once Mum said she was interested too, it became about her. And I started saving to up the budget - for me it would just have been train - show - train.
I've written a couple of things on different threads, but thought I'd whore it up here.

I just can't wait. I'm excited and want to keep talking about it and here is just perfick.
Writing to the theatre today, to see if they offer any kind of special package. Apart from John Barrowman's I mean (which is certainly special but no doubt out of my price range.) I'm hamming it up a little to see if there is anything nice they offer for free Not telling any lies though. FTR.

Mum is letting me plan it all, which is lovely of her.
But she does know that I'm taking her places and doing things she wouldn't expect. I mean I'm telling her everything - it would distress her otherwise - but I love that I can do this for her. I'm good for something.

So I was surfing around today (Facebook) and learned that not only do we know this place from Seinfeld, but it's also the inspiration for the Suzanne Vega song "Tom's Diner." And the Suzanne Vega song was the inspiration behind the MP3 format. Every time the engineers thought they had figured out the right compression format to use for shrinking song files, they would use it on "Tom's Diner" to see if Vega's voice kept its warmth and clarity. It wasn't until the compression format passed the "Tom's Diner" test that they settled on using it for the MP3 format we all know and use.

So Tom's Restaurant, pictured here, is really the ultimate power in the universe.
