2010-11-25 00:02:45 ET Dropped the girlfriend, aka the Kimster, at her parents' house so she can have a happy Thanksgiving. Then I drove home. Twas my parents' car. I don't have my own yet. Yet. I need to practice on a car with a standard/manual transmission. The Kimster pointed something out once. Maybe we all want the type of car that we used to draw as a kid when we wanted to draw a car. I would draw a boxy car. Like an old Volvo or an 80s Toyota Corolla or Nissan Sentra. The Kimster would draw some sort of roadster. This matches up with our modern tastes. Maybe? Possibly? Anyways, I got home at late midnight. Possibly 1am. Then I remembered that I had to test out a gps unit that we found in the garage. We didn't use it to go to the Kimster's parents' place due to the fact that it didn't know the street. The gps unit's maps are about 3 years out of date. No matter. I rubbed some spit onto the suction cup and stuck the unit onto the windshield. For some reason spittle keeps those suckers attached much better than normal. Maybe the water in the spit evaporates and leaves a bit of a vacuum? Anyways, it's some sort of Korean unit. "Plenio vxa-4300" It's pretty good. Has all of these sightseeing features. Found the local lighthouse. I'm assuming it's not being used anymore because it's not lit up at night. Spent 3 hours driving around. Then spent about half an hour at the local diner eating a burger and fries and downing 2 cups of coffee. Listened to some of this while driving: http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/content/transfigured-night Good stuff. I'm feeling tired. I'm debating whether to witness the sunrise but the shades are drawn and I might have missed it. Maybe I should just stretch, crack some joints, and rest my head. |
