First things first. Hangeng's movie, My Kingdom, was posted on Dramacrazy today. This is good news for me, who didn't get to see it in theatres since no local theatre had it. Plans for this evening include watching My Kingdom and thinking about how handsome Hangeng is.
Now unto business. I have an old car. It's 25 years old and still kicking...make that rolling. Last year at some time, I lost one of my mud flaps. Then, leaving a friend's house, I backed up a little too close to a rock garden. Pop! Off came another mud flap...on the same side of the car. To make my car even more ridiculous than having only one side of the car have mud flaps, another flap decided to slip off of one of its screws. Now it dangles sideways at a funny angle. So that means I had one good mud flap, and so it is until today.
I am a little slow at car repair. Thus the one year without mud flaps. Tonight, I had finally collected two mud flaps, and marked where to drill holes in them. I went into the garage to scout out where a drill was. Aha! I found one. Didn't know how to change the bit. Aha! I found another one. I changed the bit and loaded my new mud flaps into a vice...because there wasn't something horizontal to work with. Drill. Drill. Drill. "Argh! Why won't it drill?" thought I. Then I had an idea. I put a piece of wood behind the mud flaps. It worked. I drilled and drilled and drilled and went out to put the flaps on my car. And they didn't fit. For the one wheel well the holes were wrong but for the other...there wasn't even a place to put it. One hole had a rusty screw in it and the other hole was EXPLODED OPEN!!!!! How am I supposed to screw a mud flap into a hole that is 1) huge and 2) has jagged explody edges.
Needless to say, my car sits as it did before, with one mud flap and a half, hanging wildly off at an angle. It's a pretty stellar car though. I will try to work on my mud flap situation...a little later.
