Spent the day running around trying to find some tools and a shop manual. Found some tools and eventually a shop manual. Risked driving the car again and found I'm getting used to it. Ended up walking a lot farther than I thought when I forgot how far a few minutes in a car looking for a parking space can take you...
Got my travel plans for Perth sorted out and bought a ticket. I'll be heading to Perth on the 26th of this month. Only staying a week, but that's my own fault for putting off buying the ticket so long.
Rented a couple videos, "Addicted to Love", and "Ten Things I Hate About You" and had a quiet night at home. Both videos were pretty good, but I was surprised to find out that "Ten Things..." was filmed in Seattle... which was a pleasant surprise.
