three thoughts - cars.internet.money

yesterday when i was leaving work [on my way to 2nd work] somebody (MAT!!) wanted to make a pointless, UNfunny, UNuseful comment to me as i was about to pull out of the parking lot, so i rolled down my window. he made his comment, i rolled my eyes and then went to put the window back up... of COURSE my window wouldn't go back up. gahhh. i'm so MONSTERFUCKING sick of this!

i made a deal with myself - if i can get around without driving it in the next 32 days, i'm getting rid of it. i'm done with putting all this upkeep into this pollution machine because some people (ma&pa) can't comprehend life without a car. i'm an grown-up, and i'll own a car if i feel like it... and i don't... so eff you.

sometimes the internet is simply the best. today dan decided to try and track down somewhere that sells walkmen (walkmans?.. um.. portable cassette tape players). i posted "wanted: tape playin' walkman" on kijiji and within an hour - a reply!

does anyone remember "baby jessica" who got rescued from the pipe? i was only 2 when that happened, so it's weird that i remember but i decided to look her up today. that chick is cursed i think!

quotes from wikipedia & msnbc article:

McClure's rescue was mostly credited to Robert O'Donnell and William Andrew Glasscock Jr.. In 1995, O'Donnell shot himself after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Former officer Glasscock is currently serving a 35-year sentence on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault, and improper storage of explosives

whoa. curse!

She married Daniel Morales, 13 years her senior, in January 2006. Morales was convicted in 2002 of impersonating a federal marshal to steal money and drugs from drug dealers.

yup, curse.

But she’s still called “Baby Jessica.” That doesn’t bother her, she told Lauer, and referred to a character in a children’s book to explain why.

“Like they told Lil’ Bow Wow, you’ll never get rid of the ‘little’ part,” she said. “Cause you’ll always be what you are remembered as.”

what?? children's book?! who wrote this article? curs-ed.

i "commissioned" a pair of boots from this guy at the farmer's market. they are going to be totally custom - having the guy TRACE and measure my feet was such a good feeling! i am so excited to have shoes made for me, not off an assembly line in taiwan. it's really exciting. but i'm kind of broke now, so i reaaaaally hope they turn out.
