Heh, I got new brakes two weekends ago. Also, two new tires. I only do two at a time because they are so damn expensive ($260 for two tires, peeps!) I'm used to the little, cheapy tires all my other cars had. Talk about sticker shock.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's not raining today, so I am taking it one day at a time.
Brakes tomorrow-ish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Huh. We got new brakes in September. Never knew it was a trend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe you could use your fireplace clicker as brakes? I hear they're multi-purpose!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mine were feeling mushy this morning. (Though usually that means fluid of the brakey or transmissiony type).

All is well that ends in pizza.
My father used to embarrass me so much in high school because he smoked Virginia Slim 120s. This big, bearded guy with these little froo-froo cigarettes.
At least he didn't get a special cigarette holder for them. I recall one being available. It may have been a special size version of one of those stop-smoking filters.

I am off today, so I thought I would check my work email from home.
Turns out that the broken toilet in the mens room got worse, so they have locked it off from use.
So, do they put up a sign that the women's bathroom is unisex for the day, just knock before entering? No. Too many people squicked by that. Understandable. Do they ask the dance studio in the same building if they can take the traffic? No. Do they expect any man who has to take a crap to clock out, get in their car, drive four blocks to the nearest gas station, ask the attendant for the key, and afterwards drive back to work, clock in and go back to work? Yes.
Never mind the concept of getting a faster-working plumber (unlikely, it may be complicated), or, god forbid, take stock of the fact that we have a total of 1 mens toilet for about 50 men and maybe think that it was bad foresight, in that the company had the building built to their own specs....back when they had 20 employees, men and women.
So glad I'm not at work today.
