  • Car salesman: Well, we're basically giving you an Accord for the price of a Civic. But we'll see if we can squeeze out a few more drops of blood.
  • Dad: You have a lot more blood than we do.
  • Car salesman: It's only 30 more dollars a month! That's not that much. That's one dollar a day.
  • Dad: I know how much it is. If it's only a dollar a day, why can't you pay it for me?

  • Mechanic: Well, if it's the water pump, then you're done.
  • (A few second of silence pass.)
  • Me: Done? Like, me? As a person?
  • Mechanic: No, no. I mean the car, the car will be done.

  • Me: Thanks for the help. I'm not usually the type of person who goes up to strangers' car windows and asks for directions.
  • Car Guy's Friend: You should get a [murmur].
  • Me: I'm sorry?
  • Car Guy's Friend: A gar-[murmur].
  • Me: A garment?
  • Car Guy's Friend: A garm-[murmur].
  • Me: Oh. OK.
  • Car Guy's Friend: A Garmin. It's GPS for your car.
  • Me: Oh. Nah, I'm poor. That's my car right there.
  • Car Guy's Friend: Which one?
  • Me: Right there.
  • (Both Car Guy and Car Guy's Friend lean forward in their chairs and crane their necks to look in silence for a few seconds.)
  • Car Guy's Friend: Oh.

Twilight

I’ve been watching lots of kids’ movies and reading young adult books lately — even the really crappy ones.

Twilight was pretty bad. Even the special effects were really bad. But it still doesn’t really phase me how popular it is even though it sucks so much. Nowadays, I rarely even expect a correlation between the quality of a product and its sales.

I found this tidbit under the trivia section for the movie’s IMDB page:

“Stephanie Meyer cited the band Muse as her source of inspiration to write her books. Another of her favorite groups is Linkin Park, who contributed a song in the soundtrack.”

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Needless to say, I’m downloading a torrent of the entire trilogy as I’m writing this. I hope it’s really good/bad.

Windshields

I don’t know anything about cars. I feel the same way about cars as I do about a lot of things. It amazes me that our society can depend so much on things about which the majority of humans know nothing about. Like the media. Or computers. Or cars.

If there’s ever some sort of big catastrophe and only a small group of people survive, I hope for their sake that those people know about things like the media and computers and cars. Or that they’re motivated to learn. I can see myself being like, “Ah, fuck it,” and raiding stores for candy or something.

But it is nice to learn. Within the past year, I learned some interesting things about windshields on the Internet.

Like how when the inside of your windsheild gets dirty, you can do what professional detailers do and use water and newspaper to clean it. The ink acts as a special exfoliant. You just have to make sure the ink doesn’t rub elsewhere.

Also, if your car fogs up frequently (like mine, which no longer has a working heater/air conditioner of any kind), you can rub soaps or shampoos with glycerin on the windows and windsheilds. It creates a smoother surface, making it more difficult for the moisture to cling to the surfaces. It seems to have worked for me — at least for a couple of days.

If I were more religiously astute, I might take the time to wonder what spiritual significance these discoveries might make on my life. Windshields — can I see what’s ahead of me clearly? Ah, fuck it. I wish I had candy.

Hmm.

I’m unsure of how to blog. Do I blog about my life? Or my writing? Or music I like? Or just random thoughts? Not that it matters. I can blog however and about whatever I please. It’s just that I realized that I’ve become so accustomed to blogging that I had to stop to remember how strange it is. If I want to share things with people online, I can make a website for that purpose. If I want to have a large readership, I can publish things that will get me attention. If I want an outlet where I can record my thoughts and reflect, then I can write in my journal.

But where does that leave you, my tumblng friend?
