I Have a Point

Just a little random mess because I found it amusing. This is my truck's gauge cluster. It needs a new one.

Don't worry, my truck was parked and off when this photo was taken. The gauges are supposed to be ALL the way down since nothing is running. Hmm, let's take a closer look, shall we?

Engine isn't even running, yet it claims to be over-heating. And the oil pressure gauge is stuck. Nice.

I turned the key, and this is what happens. Engine still isn't running.

Yeah, it really is low on gas. But look at the temp! Wow.

And this is after driving for five minutes:

Yikes! Are you telling me the time, or reading the temperature??? At this rate, we should both be on fire. And my truck really needs gas. At least the oil pressure gauge got un-stuck.

The speedometer occasionally messes up too, but the truck needs to be running for a long time, and pretty hard. I could be doing 80mph on the freeway, but the speedometer would be at 0 or maybe 3mph lol.

Apparently, GMC has had some complaints about this issue. They have offered to fix them at no charge to the owner, but the truck has to have 70,000 miles or less.

OOPS.

ANYWAY, I have decided which polishes to put up for sale (all except one). I will post above in a new, non-rambling post.

Dollar Store Disaster Day

This past Thursday, I got out of class early and decided to hang around campus for a bit. Then I remembered that my mom asked me to pick up a few things at the local dollar store next time I went. I thought 'I have some free time, why not go now?'

As I was leaving school, I noticed that my truck sounded a little...strange when I turned it on. I shrugged it off, thinking it was in my imagination and drove to the store.

When I got there, I picked up the lotion that my mom wanted and inevitably migrated towards their nail polish area (they have a ton of great Klean Colors). I'm a sucker for glitter, so of course I love Klean Color. As I was perusing the colors, I spotted KC Blue-Eyed Girl.

I saw this polish on the KC website a while back. I wanted it really bad...but I didn't quite remember what it looked like. But I knew I had wanted it, so I bought it.

I walked out of the store triumphantly, then it suddenly hit me. Blue-Eyed Girl is a blue jelly LOADED with blue hexagon glitter! What did I get?

WHERE IS THE GLITTER?? All of their Blue-Eyed Girl polishes were like this :( I relented and went back to my truck to leave.

Except my truck wouldn't start. I WAS RIGHT WHEN I THOUGHT MY TRUCK SOUNDED FUNNY. This is one of the times I HATE being right.

I had to call home to get picked up, as my truck's battery was completely DEAD and not even jumper cables helped. I spent the rest of the afternoon back over there at the parking lot, temporarily changing the battery with my dad's truck's battery, thouroughly trashing my mani. Then later I had to give back the battery, so I trashed my mani some more and was left with nothing to drive. Though I will say that guys love the sight of a girl digging in the hood of their vehicle...especially when they're in heels.

Well, this Blue-Eyed Girl a gorgeous jelly anyway. It reminds me of WnW Nocturnal. But I still want the glitter polish. I'll have to wait for their next shipment. Meanwhile, I will go to that dollar store and tell the owner/manager that they got a defective batch. And maybe they'll give me the rest of their defective ones as thanks for bringing this to their attention lol. A girl can hope.
