Go figure, the one time I think of a half-decent post title I can't seem to type in the title field. I just click there to select and it doesn't do anything. Bah, so here goes:

Silverhands

I've spent probably 15hrs of my weekend working on my car. I cleaned up a lot of rust (not that my car even has all that much to start with, but there were a few ugly patches), grinding, sanding, priming and painting. Hence the silver hands - that's the colour of the body, and whatever the spray paint came in contact with. Anyways, it's amazing how drained I'm feeling - I guess it's tiring to be that productive doing manual labour. In any case, my car has a lot less rust now. I can't say I did a great job on the paint, but what are you going to do for a 12 year old car?

Anyways, I'm moving home on Saturday morning. So before then I'll have to pack everything up so it can fit in my car for a 12 hour drive. I suspect I'll end up Greyhounding quite a bit of it, but we'll see. I'll at least fit my computer stuff in and some clothes. But I have a lot more to do yet, including a newspaper ad and finishing that drawing for my grandparents. Sigh, I shoulda been doing more last week... But in my defence, I didn't know "touching up" my car would take as long as it did. Such is life, I'm sure it'll all come together.

Fallin’ asleep at the wheel again baby,
You’re driftin’ over the line (the line), Yeah
Your hands are tight but you’re losin’ grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the signs?

Thumbin’ your way to Vegas, dirty
And Dreamin’ of the other side
Save your tears and laughter because
It doesn’t matter what you find

It ain’t pretty
After the show
It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
