cars (a pretty bad movie)

AH, DISTRACTIONS. i open up my computer and then firefox and before you know it there are exactly 100,000 different tabs going!

right now i am a bit peeved that i have not gotten to watch tonight's taped LOST episode yet. is it worth staying up that extra hour? watch me ponder this just long enough for it not to matter anymore. i just slipped into my favorite socks + slippers combo and i am now finally settled and sitting still enough to evaluate the day.

this morning i woke up for work at the typical 7:00am. waking up that early always makes me want to kill myself. seriously. and it does not get easier with time. fortunately, the suicidal thoughts tend to die (ha) once i'm up and around for a good ten minutes. around 7:40am i trudge out to my car, which is buried in a nice and thick snow pile from yesterday's snowstorm. after realizing that no amount of gas is going to move my vehicle... i start shoveling. and keep shoveling in knee-deep snow in little puny flats while breaking a sweat (good morning!). and then find random men in the street to help me push. and finally, get to work about 15 minutes late. not too bad! work flies by. today everyone is overly interested at lunch time in my lean cuisine panini and baked! cheetos. i finish two projects! i leave work to drive to class and am ashamed when i can't remember the last time i WALKED the whole way to class. okay... this narrative isn't working out very well. i am getting pretty darn sleepy. so, fast forward to errands on state, meeting people for drinks at the union, sitting in on a "famous" christian porn speaker (he was on "the view"?) at the union theater with katie waiting to watch actual porn, but leaving in disappointment. coming home to a random object in the middle of our driveway that looks like it has fallen off either sara's or my car. the sad part is that we don't know which car it belongs to (we've both been having troubles) or what the object is even called? we stare at it for a good 10 minutes like it has fallen from an alien planet in outerspace, and then decide to ask a boy for help. overall, it was a good day full of... car troubles! damn, i hope no other piece of equipment thinks about falling off tomorrow. for my own sake, i hope that was not too boring. okay goodnight.
