always crashing in the same car

got in my first accident this morning.

what with my dad's ailing health, my lack of money, my step mother in law in the hospital, my insomniac last week, my daughter back at home needing to be woken up to go walk the said step mother in law's spastic 900 year old dog across town in alhambra, my sudden blood sugar drop and the step mother in law's car that has a lovely blind spot it's no wonder i didn't see the woman behind me that i backed into.

no major damage, no one hurt, just some rattled nerves.

must be more careful, and avoid the starbucks in little tokyo on the sight of many a nice old artsy punk rock time.

Wil tak a cup o kyndnes yet

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot,
Sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gie's a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

CHORUS
