if the movies are true, you could elevate the car to a 30º angle. Car alarms have a gravity switch, so when they are towed, the alarm silences. That's if you believe "TWINS".
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Schwarzenegger lies, and De Vito drinks.
Fact.

God, my sleep pattern is fucked. I hope someone hunts that screaming car down and puts it out of its misery, aurelia. You're in the midwest, right? Someone must have rifle around somewhere.

It's hours later now -- I hope aurelia did get some peace and quiet, eventually. I would have called the cops, seriously. It's a car alarm, maybe somebody is trying to steal it. (Yeah, for a half hour straight. Well, it could happen.) Cops would have been able to open it and shut it off, for sure. Or look up the owner, etc.
I'm in a fierce mood this morning. I think that's because all the holiday preparation is getting to me... today is my last day of work before Xmas, I've reserved Wednesday for running around with the present-getting, and then it's down to festive PA for a couple days with Mom....

Oh Aurelia, that totally blows.
God, my sleep pattern is fucked.
ita, welcome to my world. I'm asleep at 8 and up at 3 or 4 AM. WTF?! But I just got the happiest news so I'm quietly bouncing in my seat. and I'm realizing I have one more semester of course work and my thesis and I will be done done done with my masters.
Granted, I've done little to no work on my thesis. I'm waiting for my second (or perhaps tertiary) wind to kick in to carry me along.

Tertiary wind. Yes, that would be helpful. Yay for seeing the end in sight on the Masters.
I bought myself a new coffee pot. One of these [link] things. (That model, but half that price) I haven't tried all of the features, but it did start up with the brewing at 6 this morning. Mmmm coffee.

I need a new coffeepot. Mine keeps throwing up all over the counter.

What is even happening?
We need a new one, too. This one isn't very old, but the pause-n-serve function broke, yet we didn't stop taking the pot out during brewing because darn it, we bought a pause-n-serve for a reason.
My thermal carafe has seen better days, too. I might buy one of those models where the coffee pot is a thermal carafe.
Laura, I love the one you bought. I don't really have the counter space for it, though.

You know, I admire that kind of dedicated vision.

The basket on mine wasn't staying closed so it would swing open and a big mess would happen, often. I had it tied closed with a twist tie for a time. This one was the only one I found that you could program and had the espresso option. And wasn't huge, and only $78, which a crazy amount for a coffee pot, but really I am worth it.
