Quick update:
- Bought a new (used) car from a used car dealership. It’s a 2005 BMW Z4, but it had to go to the BMW dealer for repairs. Praise be to the BMW warranty. I hate the dealership folks. And I’m mad at myself for making some mistakes in the car-buying process, but whatever, it was my first time, and once the car is fixed I’ll love it. (More details later.)
- Deadlines at work. Publishers as clients means deadlines, deadlines, deadlines! Stress all around. Stress for me, stress for coworkers, stress for the clients.
- The whole dating thing continues to elude me.


Hang in there, kiddo. Problems with the car already?? That’s BMW for you :-\ Hopefully it’ll be over quickly, though.
Just keep swimming…just keep swimming…
And once the car is fixed it’ll be awesome! :)
Hi- just wondering about the car problems you had when you bought it. I’m the guy who is (still) thinking about buying a 2006 325i/xi, part of staying with the 2006 is that I get 2 years of warranty.
I may be delaying until the end of September, as the dealers here (Chicago) are MUCH more eager to discount at month and quarter end.
