Who am I to go against the wind?

phynckeI know what I know....
So I have made it to work.
I have had trials with my car. It crapped out on me last night when I got back to my friend's house from an outdoor BBQ. We tried over and over to get it started. Jump started it. Fiddled with wires. I had just filled the tank so it was not out of gas. Finally, we gave up and called for AAA. The tow dude tried a few things and he could not get it started. That made me feel a little better. He did the same things we did. I had it towed to my garage in my neighborhood and went home. Complained to a bunch of people and felt better.
So low and behold, I talk to my mechanic this morning and it STARTS! The frigging thing starts right up this morning when they go to move it into the garage. I cannot believe it. I am still having them look at it and do a diagnostic but still....*huffs* How very curious. I do not think it will cost me much so I am very relieved. I am going to kick its tires when I get it back. *bleeping* car!
And now...I have been wandering around with totally random song lyrics in my head. Paul Simon, Graceland, I know what I know....I will pass it on. So you can go crazy along with me. I hear the instrunmental that goes with it to. It is such a fun song though. The background vocals are really cool too. I am hearing the whole thing in my head right now. I love Paul Simon. He has a new CD out that my Mom has promised to send me. She gets a discount on music. Yay.
Here is the lyric....so quirky.
She looked me over and I guess she thought I was alright.
Alright in a sort of a limited way for an off night.
She said, "Don't I know you from the cinematographer's party?"
I said, "Who am I to go against the wind?"
I know what I know, I've said what I've said....
Back to my life...
The BBQ was lovely. We ate ribs, I drank soda since I do not drink much and I met an animator from Pixar. I did not know that Pixar had been bought by Disney. Huh. Anyway. Good weather, fun people and lots of food. This animator also makes a mean potato salad....he put peas in it and everything. Yummers. We ate cheesecake for dessert and I would have been home in good time had not the car done its thing. Oh well. it was still a lovely time.
Happy Tuesday which feels like Monday. I was telling the cafe dude that this morning on my way into the Uni. He agreed. It feels like Monday.
