What have I got to say?

I've been busy with trying to figure out exactly how to answer what the Ubbt has done for me, but I just can't stop writing. So here's an entry to tide y'all over til it's done.
Well lately life sucks, which is nothing new. But as I like to say, "Life happens, live with it or don't". So, how am I addressing my current status of broker than broke? I've got a new job lined up with double the pay. (Side Note: If you're waiting for an applause signal, this is it) I'm more or less pleased with where I'm sitting as of today.
One thing I am less than pleased about was having my car go into the ditch. The ensuing adventure
would have been a great day unto itself were it not for the 5'4" of witty, dark haired reasons for my car to be wisking me into cafe in Edmonton. But apologies were issued, discussions were had, and the preordained time and place has been re-ordained to next week, same bat time, same bat place. (Side note: Adam West is the best Batman of all time)

On a funnier note; my car cost me $400 dollars, my roommate's cost him several thousand dollars to the point where he has to make payments which I hope are not $400 per month. No, they're probably $1-200 dollars a month (I hope). Yet whose auto hasn't failed too start nigh a once? The fancy, expensive one which has even been plugged in? Or the 1989 red lunch box with wheels which got left in a snowbank over night? That's right loyal reader(s), the owner of the car whose muffler "makes [me] look like I have a sense of humour" (~My father's co-worker), can now make fun of an expensive car. It's not that I am happy that my friend's car is as impotent in this weather as a chihuahua guard dog in the arctic, but that irony makes colours brighter, the air sweeter, and flavours more vibrant.
