Driving home last night the battery died on my car. First the check battery light came on. Then the ABS light, then the security light, then the brake light... anything that requires power. Then the dash lights and my headlights started fading. I knew the end was near... I jumped on the gas, but the car wasn't getting any more juice. Then I lost all power, and was able to coast to the shoulder on the Belt Parkway. To make a long story short (I know, too late), I had to wait 2+ hours for the tow truck. So now I'm waiting for the garage to fix it (I think its just the battery and alternator). The good news today is that I go to sign my new apartment lease. Move in date is August 1st. w00t.
