I've been avoiding music lately. At all costs. Podcasts and audiobooks only. Food is the New Rock is pretty awesome.
This is just a phase.

I want a cigarette. I want to roll around in a pile of nicotine.
Let me explain. I would never call myself a smoker. At the peak of my smoking I smoked 6 cigarettes a day. So actually, I guess I was a smoker.
I refuse to smoke while driving the new car; that's where I did most of my smoking before. So my smoking time has been reduced a lot. At ( Read more... ) -

My mom asked if I ever smoked weed today. I responded, "Do you want me to answer that?" And she responded, "I'll take that as a yes."
She then asked me what it was like. I explained that it made me want to eat a lot and take a four hour nap. And while it is awesome and fun but I'm an adult and I just don't have time to take four hour naps. She ( Read more... ) -
So what if this about a car again?
Four days in a manual. I couldn't get it out of the parking lot Saturday morning. I think that I was trying to start it in 3rd. Anyway, there has been marked improvement. I'm getting decent. And my mistakes are much less... violent. I seem to recover from them more quickly. I like driving it. I really do. I'll like it more when the idea of being ( Read more... ) -

It looks like the Juke is a go. Things lined up today with startling efficiency. The other buyer backed out. *Clink* The dealership gave me a better deal than my bank. *Clink* My G6 was finally done. *Clink ( Read more... ) -

It occurred to me yesterday that Hank (dumb name for a car, but what do you care?), will be the last Pontiac that I ever own and when I get rid of IT, that's it. I have an odd soft spot in my heart for Pontiacs and I don't know why. I remember the day that GM quit selling Pontiacs. I was having a bad day to start with and I put my head on my desk ( Read more... ) -
Juuuuuke!
I went test driving today and did NOT buy a car. Restraint by thy name.
It was a 2011 Juke that honestly I had no intention of buyingr anyways. Mostly because it had AWD but upon getting in, we discovered that it had a twinge of dog funk.
I DID however find a Juke in Port fucking Clinton. It's a 2011 with 2WD. I don't need/want AWD and to find a ( Read more... ) -

Fuuuck. This seems like poor timing. 90% doesn't count. It's all or nothing. And 90% is nothing as far as I can tell. For once in my life, I want a fucking easy choice.

Questionable TV choices
Do mantras work? If you say something over and over again does it make true? Sort of like The Secret crap but for reals. I have a friend who used The Secret for parking spaces. He claimed that it worked, "I'd just keep picturing an empty parking space... And poof! One always became available ( Read more... ) -

I've lost some weight recently. Like 2 24-packs of water. A decent amount. (Why do I use the measuring system of 24-packs of water? Because each water bottle is nigh near a pound. It's a good visual, "I just lost loss this much!") 2 24-packs of water earlier I would have sworn that my life would somehow be magically different. To date here's what's ( Read more... )
