The weird thing about the eye drops for the glaucoma test is when your snot comes out died the same color. I mean, I know in theory that the tear ducts connect to the sinuses, but it's another thing entirely to blow proof of it onto a Kleenex.

I have this irrational desire to replace my current car born out of pure vanity. For my age and the amount of money I make, I sometimes feel I'm driving something a teenager would have. (The teenagers around where I live, the ones around where I work drive much nicer cars than mine). The car runs perfectly (aside from the speedometer that takes the occasional day off) and it's quite fun to drive.
The only real problem is the sheer amount of road noise it lets in. However, I "fixed" this problem with a nice radio. I suppose as long as it makes absolutely no sense to replace it, I won't.

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

I felt that way when I bought my Focus. All their marketing stuff was geared towards people just out of college buying their first car.

I think the fact that most of the cars of the same year, model, and style as mine are adorned with custom wheels, massive tail pipes, and silly looking wings is what really does it.

It's the opposite of hyper-serious 17-year-old me, who ignored the salesmen's spiels about speed and acceleration and sporty look, peppering them with questions about mileage, maintenance costs, and braking power instead. My car could have looked like a Ford Model T and I wouldn't have cared as long as it got the job done.

Anyway. I will stop being a downer.
Hey guys! I'm shopping for a new dresser! And since I'll be saving money every month on parking, I can splurge on something cool!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
shrift, not exactly dressers as such, precisely, but: the coolest and most beautiful chests/storage thingies I know of.

It is more of a shithole than I remembered. And what the hell is with making you go through security again when you change terminals?

Oh God, I had to do that at...O'Hare, I think, maybe? It was stupid.
