coulda done without that

i got t-boned on the way to work today.

it was totally and completely not my fault and i am not just saying that.

as i attempted to pull into a parking spot along the street in order to dash in to the dover market and get myself a diet coke (if only i had really quit yesterday the way i told matt i was going to), a guy waiting to pull out of the parking lot in a 1999 chevy tahoe assumed that i would be getting out of his way sooner than i actually did and drove directly into the side of my vehicle. because the collision happened in slow motion, it seems that the minivan incurred no more than surface damage. i wonder how mass audubon will feel about me driving around in this hoopty mobile for a while.
