| So... I almost died today. My car DID die. I was driving home from Athens with Sean, lost control on the Lancaster bypass, ran into a guard rail and was then hit by a semi. Fortunately, I, Sean, and Sean's superexpensive camera equipment were all unharmed, for which I credit the incredibly sturdy build of my Dodge Intrepid. And to think that I didn't like it as much because it was such a boat.
When I asked the tow truck guy if there was any hope of saving the car, he said it was pretty much totalled. So I now have a citation for losing control of my automobile (fairly minor, thank god), no car, and what will inevitably be hundreds in insurance payments. I shall now most definitely need a job next quarter.
But we're okay. And that's the most important thing. | | |
| Ten hour shifts are kind of lame, but hour lunch breaks when I can listen to the Flaming Lips in my car are not lame, and getting paid is very not lame. So I guess it all evens out.
I haven't done much other than work and work out lately, and I'm feeling very restless because of that. Thus, I am planning a road trip to be carried out at the end of the summer. Three weeks going from here to Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon to Phoenix, and back through Texas and the south, camping out in tents or sleeping in the car. It may be the last chance I'll have to do something like this for awhile, since after my senior year, who knows what will happen- I'll probably end up in Tonga or Togo or Federated Micronesia or something. Which will be amazing, but I want to see the American West first. I want to climb a really big goddamn rock and a really deep goddamn canyon. | | |
| 1. http://onemansblog.com/2006/12/01/a-compendium-of-150-monty-python-sketches/ compendium of 150 Monty Python sketches. Delicious.
2. I have identified the source-less, wafting smell in our kitchen: it is the smell of burnt celery and failure.
3. How is it possible for one toilet to flood three floors of apartments? How does that even work?
4. Going to Ecuador!
5. I have to work at JC Penney again- you lot better be entertaining over break, none of this whininess. | | |
| Please, everyone, go listen to Iron & Wine's 'Trapeze Swinger'. It's fantastic, it's brilliant, it's so beautiful and awesome, in the sense that it inspires awe. I don't care if you don't like folk or lo-fi. Hell, just find the lyrics somewhere. They're poetry and they're amazing. | | |
