jumper cables were only $8, which was nice. car goes now. i had to take a screwdriver to it to get it out of park, but it goes. i would have bought one of those cool sets of jumper cables that comes with its own battery, but advance was out of them.

steph: i'm writing you back now. well, not really, *now* i'm putting it off by writing in my journal, but i'm in the middle of writing you back.

um. yeah. anyone interested in going to see the producers the weekend before thanksgiving? i figure i can probably drive there, have dinner, see the show, and drive home (being nova) and not have to spring for a hotel.

just spent too much money on books... got the new elric book, gormenghast, planet of the apes (the original book)... amusing note: the novelization of the movie ends with marky mark blasting off to go home. as if the writer of the book said "the ending of this movie makes no sense. i'm getting rid of it."

While I don't have a portable jumpstart battery, I do have a charger that features an Engine Start switch, assuming I have a reachable electrical outlet. How they manage this I know not, but it's a nice idea should I need a jump within extension-cord reach of an outlet. :)

Outlet charger

I could've got one of those, but I wasn't convinced that I'd always be within reach of an outlet (parking in my complex is sometimes really irritating, and my apartment is on the back), so I didn't. Plus I then went and spent too much money on books anyway. :)

Well, I've never actually used it for that--always able to get a jump in a reasonable amount of time. Good to have a charger, though, for after I get it home. :)
