I wish I wasn't such a freakin idiot about cars
by Denise Sawicki on March 26, 2008
Seems like every time I need an oil change they want to do $600 of service on my car even though it's running fine. It's getting so I absolutely dread oil changes because I feel like such an idiot not knowing what I really need done to the stupid car and I feel like an asshole if I say anything about it. I hate my stupid car. Like the last time I had a flat tire, which was 2 years ago but which still fills me with dread, they wound up requiring me to replace 3 tires and I was kinda freaking out. It's not like I can't afford it, I just hate feeling like an idiot. Then the last time I had an oil change they indicated to me that I will soon need two tires replaced. Well that makes 5 tires in 2 years, doesn't that seem a bit excessive? I could understand replacing just the one that hadn't been replaced. Now I hear I probably have bad wear patterns on a second one because it wasn't replaced at the same time as the other 3. So any time you have a flat tire you need to replace 2 tires to avoid replacing a total of 3 tires 2 years down the road? My inability to handle this basic stuff is kind of an indication of my greater inability to handle people.

Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss
As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »Nothing much
Well I figured I should mention my health thingy is OK and I don't have to get any more tests for another year... :P The weeks are going by really fast, it's quite alarming. and alcohol is fun. Go »Another Irritating Thing
The Indian episode isn't the only irritating thing that happened with The Cedars recently. A while before that, Darrell received an e-mail from someone claiming to be from MTV saying they had listened to his songs on the Jones Soda website, liked them, and wanted a CD to consider including in their show. Now this sounds like an obvious fake, but the thing is, some research showed that the person who sent the e-mail does exist and does work at MTV, the e-mail address was verifiable, the phone number led to a seemingly legitimate voice mail, and the address was an actual office at MTV.

Well now that my little goo is expired I can mention how our Halloween party went. I think it went OK. A few people knew who we were pretending to be. Go »Long long break
Well I think I have to devote all my game energy to D&D for a long time because it's terribly complicated and not think about Rock Block at all for a while... Sorry I felt the need to check the card exchange anyhow... I hope when I traded a couple cards lately that people were satisfied with the outcome... Go »
