Last night's Warhammer Fantasy RPG session with [livejournal.com profile] wggthegnoll, [livejournal.com profile] ruiskafleck and [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage went quite well! Beastmen and jaded salons, vivisection, and Witch Hunters! Good, clean, old fashioned fun.

I took the car round to a couple of places today to get a repair estimate. I went with the place with the lowest estimate and the promise to start work immediately. I picked up a Toyota Matrix as a rental. I think I'm too used to driving cars that have seats like armchairs. To whit, Large American cars. Since 1996, I've owned a Cutlass Ciera, a Cutlass Calais, a Chrysler Intrepid, and now the Crown Vic. And, of course the chain of tiny Horizons and Omnis and Chevettes the family owned when I lived at home had very different ergonomics than the current crop of compacts.

Anytime I have a rental, I feel like I'm strapping into the cockpit of a very small and fragile airplane.

Have some photos from my new cell phone!


The scene of the accident, snapped a few moments after I'd moved the car off the road. The physics are difficult to explain. I believe the rear tire track was made by the front passanger side tire as the car zipped backwards and sideways into the wall. The track at the front of the photo was me driving out.


This is a photo of a superfluously worded sign at a Wendy's Restaurant, where I retreated after the accident for a reviving soda with [livejournal.com profile] commanderteddog. Please do not use your loud nonverbal voice!


This is a photo of me, seconds after Elizabeth hit me in the chin with a snowball.
