My Eyes Are Bleeding!

Went to a TV Preview thing last night, where a bunch of market researchers heard you and 150 of your closest friends into a room to watch a couple TV pilots. One was a sitcom filled in the early to mid-nineties and they were wondering whether the lead actress would still be entertaining. It was a decent show and, surprisingly, even made me laugh a few times, unlike most of the new sitcoms running these days. The other show, unfortunately, was one of the most awful things I've ever had to sit through. A drama about soulmates who were connected in past lives. It was so bad that I considered gouging my own eyes out with the pens they'd given us. Instead, I simply wrote down on the comment sheet that "this show made my eyes bleed".

Speaking of things that make part of me bleed - my wallet, in this case - I took my car into the garage this morning because my muffler's been awfully loud and there's some sort of unidentified rattling under the hood. End result: the entire exhaust system has to be replaced, to the tune of $600. Argh! Fortunately, my Dad gave me a nice car repair gift, so that should cover most of it. Guess I'll have to get him a really nice Father's Day present.
