Last night I got pulled over because I was driving a little too aggressively for the conditions. I didn't get a ticket or anything, I wasn't actually doing anything wrong. Man did the policeman seem disappointed when I told him I was an accountant. I think he got another call because he handed me back my license pretty abruptly and took off in his car in the other direction quite quickly.
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to ROCK! I guess you can tell which one I voted for. The results aren't so surprising though. I like all the options, and I suppose acoustic has the most mass appeal. Silence isn't bad, but I'm not sure I would pick it over the other two. One can only take so much silence. My car for example has no radio and occasionally I forget to bring along some other means of listening to music, and basically I go nuts, or I sing, which is almost as bad because I don't know more than one line of any song off by heart. In the lane the snow is glistening.
So normally when i'm driving my Hyundai Accent, I like to go fast. Well, maybe only as fast as I can go without creating too many legal issues. Really the car isn't all that fast to begin with so that alone limits those legal issues. It used to be that I would gladly pass anyone that was, incomprehensibly I might add, not blatantly ignoring the speed limit. But, ever since gas went up to $1.45/L back in '008, I have a better appreciation for the speed limit. It is amazing how fuel-efficient my car is at 80km/hr. I must admit, I still like to go fast, but now when I come up behind some misguided driver concerned with safety or functionality over fun and thrill-seeking, I just follow them. I mean I have patience. I think it might even be a virtue,.. but actually I'm just cheap.
Well the results of the car colour poll are in. I can't believe there were no reds. I like silver. My actual car is silver, but that's just luck, not really choice.
Well, this weekend with the help of my younger sibling I replaced the fuel filter in my car. Also the spark plugs. You see, of late, my car has been a real stinker, especially in the cold. And my engine light kept making an appearance. I find diagnosis is the hardest part when it comes to fixing problems with my car. Must be why doctors get paid so much. Anyways, the moral of the story is: Fixing things is fun, and the internet makes it way easier. Ahhh the internet. I have ironic mixed feelings. An exceptional resource and reference, yet as such an effective communication tool it runs contrary to my antisocial doctrines. Well doctrines isn't the right word, but you get it.
Aww cheez. Today I tried to change the oil in my car. But I can't seem to get the drain plug out. That seems to slow down the whole operation. I don't want to strip the bolt, or resort to having to remove the whole pan. oi. So I must take it to a professional, already breaking the promise I made with myself that I would do all the work on that car myself. Oh well. I had fun jacking up my car and then lowering it down again.
When I bike to school I have two speeds. Fast and stop. It's almost all downhill. If I pedal super hard I can pass cars. On the way back it's almost all uphill I have slow and stop.
ps. OOOHHH man. I was gonna have a wicked movie with this, but my camera batteries died.
