Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow -- I think that 'prank' is so obnoxious. And I don't understand why none of the drivers just started inching forward -- car always wins in car vs. pedestrian. Possibly because I live in a place where there is often a never-ending stream of pedestrians.

Suela, I hope your mom gets better.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why is my body convinced that 4 hours of sleep is enough?

It's really not.

I did wonder the same thing. There were some pretty big gaps. I also wondered why none of the cars up front called the cops to disband them.

No it is not.

I need to get a move on.

Where are you going Jesse? (I think I should probably know that, but I have been a bad skimmer lately)

Oh, I don't think I've posted about it. I have to go to a bridal shower in PA. It's a tea at 2, but the bus only runs every two hours, so I have to take the 11, which will get me there at 12:30. And then we're supposed to go out tonight, but I don't know what the hell we're going to be doing all day. Eh. I'm sure it will be fun enough, but the logistics are bumming me out.

The logistics do sound tiring. I hope you have a good time!

I think I may try the sleep thing again.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Huh. I just used Hotwire to rent a car for the day, and got a total of well less than half of any of the rates I was finding through Orbitz or the individual company sites. Under $25 including the taxes/fees. Plus I was able to pay with PayPal. I'll have to remember this for next time.

I think it only works for airport pick-up/drop-off, but you're pretty much stuck with that if you want a weekend drop off or pick up anyway around here.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Loved seeing the Sidewalk Prank first thing (practically) this morning! I gather this is the Midwest (the cow suit is a dead giveaway) so that explains the lack of runover bodies in the crosswalk in the last three minutes.

I couldn't believe those cars just sat there. I have no kind of patience when I'm driving.

Also, am idiot. Why would I use PayPal for a car rental? I forgot that with my own car now garaged, I don't have insurance on it so I'll have to buy the damn coverage since I didn't use a credit card that would cover me. Oh well, still coming out a lot cheaper.
