cloudy

it was just a dead battery last night. but that dead battery turned out to be quite a hassle. we tried jumping it for about an hour. then we called aaa. right before they pulled up it started. but after driving home i tried to start it again and it was dead. again. long story short i learned about battery cells. which turned out to be irrevelant. and got a new battery installed in my car by gareth and our roommate in the middle of the night. i slept through that part. thank goodness for gareth. i had to get some sleep though. had another busy weekend before christmas shopping day at work. i talked to dad on the phone today before he left hawaii to head home. he said it was in the eighties and sunny. i told him it was in the thirties and cloudy here. so they won't be so shocked upon their return. i've spent the night in the christmas spirit finishing and wrapping all my gifts. watched elf for the second time of the season. and a movie called in search of a midnight kiss. it was surprisingly entertaining. low budget but rich with emotions. a good new year's eve flick. i still have cards to do. but that'll have to come another night.
