OK, my friend just called to confirm because her other friend bailed. I'll go, I'll go!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So if my brake pad light went on just as I was getting to work this morning, and the first place I called for an appointment can't take me until Thursday (because they are supposed to be the best around), it's okay to wait until then to take it in, right? I won't die in a fiery brakeless death before then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do your brakes feel any different?

Not really, no.

I am not an expert, but I don't know if I'd expect your brakes to fail with no warning. And if it's specifically a brake pad light, it probably just means your pads need to be replaced?

It is just a brake pad light, and I've been told that they come on well before the pads really truly need to be replaced.
Just get nervous at the idea, I guess.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, that's not what it means. Check your brake fluid level. Either it's low, or one of your two hydraulic brake systems is failing. (There are two for safety/redundancy.)
Unless you have some expensive luxury car, the brake light won't come on to tell you if your pads are worn.

To me this reads, "bring the car in on Thursday." Signed, I could learn how to fix/check things on my car, but I have no interest, and it would just become another chore.

I hate hold jazz.
Did you know that the word "jazz" was originally a sports term meaning pep or energy? (From the "Things I Learn Watching Jeopardy" file.)

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
