Actually, given who my employer is, perhaps I should change my license plate to THNKLQD.
Anyways, here are the obligatory pictures of my car that make me all giddy. 
Of course, the fact that one of my more conservative friends responded with this comment via e-mail makes it even more delicious:
“That’s like installing double D implants to a 36″ C. … I’m still in mourning. This should be considered a crime.”

Police report says wideout tried to overdose himself
Posted: Wednesday September 27, 2006 9:19AM; Updated: Wednesday September 27, 2006 9:53AM
DALLAS (AP) — Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after fire rescue personnel arrived.
A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told rescue workers “that he was depressed.” The report was first released by WFAA-TV.
The rescue worker “noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth,” the police report said.
The worker attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he’d taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied. The worker then asked Owens “if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, ‘Yes.”‘
I got the photos back from Mike’s Auto Body showing the finished work today. I’ll be picking up my car tomorrow and driving it home, so even I haven’t had a chance to lay eyes on it person yet… but I’m so giddy. Life is good… on so many levels… I am a very happy camper right now. Woman. Car. Job. All good. Yay!
I just wanted to post some photos that I took from the air, but there’s a funny story I need to tell first.
At BEA World, we had an area set aside for public sector (re: government) folks to come by and check out our warez and talk business with us. We also had our own food and drink catered. One item I pilfered and stuck in my laptop’s backpack was a bottle of Ice Gatorade.
Forgetting about it (for two days), when I showed up at the airport, security politely pulled me aside as I went through the security and asked me if I had any liquids, sharp objects, or anything else that may be prohibited in my bag. I had totally forgotten about the Gatorade.
That said, after an embarassing “D’oh!” moment, they swabbed my bag and the Gatorade to check to see if there was anything that indicated I was a danger, and then let me on my way.
I was really impressed by the speed and courtesy for the folks at SFO. I didn’t feel singled out and I didn’t wind up face down on the ground with a boot in my neck. It was a nice reminder that, while we do have some pretty draconian policies for air travel, the security at the airport are professional and doing the best they can to balance inconveniencing stressed out travelers with the need to remain vigilant.
Oh, and an interesting twist — a very nice fellow got on the plane and sat next to me and proceeded to pull out a bottle of beer (and a boxed meal) from an airport restaurant. He gobbled and wolfed down his drink & food so quickly that if it had been a danger, the only explosion would likely have been caused by flatulence.
Anyways, here are some photos I took from the air… my Casio digicam is not great in low-light situations, but I had a nice seat at the very end of the airplane which allowed me to have an unobstructed view when taking these photos…
