It's not what you know. It's who you know.

And Jim is working doubly hard this week due to office vacation schedule. It was difficult to work me in, but he did.
And when I got home, I realized had to drive 30 miles back to the dealership; I had given them my entire set of keys, including my house key, when I handed over the old car. Jim was hard at work with a customer so I didn't bother him just to give an embarrassed re-hi. But -- I was driving in a reliable car that wasn't going to suddenly have its transmission die and leave me without power. And for the first time in 7 years, a car with under 160000 miles on it. So it was an amazingly joyful mistake. ("Oh! I get to drive back now!") I asked Duke, Jimmy's part-top salesguy and part-annoying nemesis, what percentage of people are utterly happy when they buy a car from him, and what percentage remain steadfastly miserable. He wouldn't commit to a number but admitted that, sadly, yes, there are some people out there who are just miserable and nothing will sway that. You got to adjust the audio in a new vehicle... I played Saint Etienne's "Urban Clearway" while driving through the Vine St. expressway tunnel. That's an on-the-nose choice for that section of road, since it is an urban clearway. The instrumental song opens with unhuman analog synth, becomes clubby-dancy; and builds, to slowly (and wildly!) mix in full, real human orchestration. Halfway through the synths re-assert their position in the song, but at three minutes, the strings and brass and flutes kick back in completely, and take over the song, and it's glorious and I emerge from the tunnel and have an orgasm. |

It's good to have reliable, nice looking wheels. It's one less thing to worry about.

Thanks for helping our boy out, Jim.
And congrats on the orgasm, UT!

That's a great pic of the 2 of you. Looks like a very nice car.

Lovely to see the two of you together!
It seems like such a monumental meeting, I'm surprised I didn't feel eddies in the ether. (Eddie is probably disappointed too). Two poor quality photos from when my Godfather came up to see me. He's so old school he uses print photography, but not keen enough on it to have a camera that makes it worthwhile. Each to their own. These are also photos of photos, but trust me - they don't suffer an awful lot in the transfer. In fact one of them lightened up better than the original with just a colour correction click on Irfanview. Me and the birds. And definitely not me at Dismaland. Tcha (sucks teeth at Bruce, although you know I adored the namecheck). Actually quite horrified by the sight of my bottom. Looks like I'm sitting on a cushion. After the 'rents come up I am very sincerely getting into shape for Christmas. Big bottom, big bottom Talk about mudflaps, my girl's gottem.

I'd look less annoyed if this fucking contact in my right eye would quit bothering me.
