The second post

Weird day, has it been...

First of all, today, my car broke quit. My car has never been that reliable but she's always been a fighter. Whenever I drove my car it was fine; it overheated whenever stopped. Afterwards, if I sped off the radiator's needle dropped back from red to white (makes sense right?). Brown gunk spewed from beneath the hood, and noxious fumes crept through my vents if the car sat stationary for too long. In addition, if I didn't speed off, the car would rattle and chug along the road as if it a horse on a gravel road. But she was a nice car; she was red, shiny and sleek for a car its age. The exterior of the car deceives. So perhaps destiny did not favor my car. But the way she went out was, although frustrating at the time, hilarious now that I look back on it. I will now try to convey what happened in onomatopoeia, although it may be a little exaggerated....:

(For reference a healthy car starts up like Vrooom):

Nick: Bye Mom Bye Dad! Clat-clat-clat...creeeaaaaak. Man I don't want to go to work this early. Dnnnn.
Oh well might as well get ready for the day. clink, clink, clink. Yeah, thats the right key; alright here we go.
swishh...chic.bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Hm... thats weird, let me turn it off and try again.... swisshhh....chic.bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Okay, let me try putting it in drive, generally it starts if I switch gears. clunk clunk.
chibzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... @#&! (needless to say, after an hour of on and off trying I didn't even get a vr-vr-vr-vrvrooom).

I tried calling a mechanic and to my dismay, he didn't show. Guess it wasn't meant to be... just means I get to drive my dad's car to work tomorrow, so I ain't mad.

Secondly, after waking up from my not-going-to-work-today-because-my-car-is-broken-nap I dropped my laptop in the perfect angle so that the head of the charger pierced the hole where the charger went, making it go completely black. I know, I'm skilled. So skilled that every time after attempting to turn it on, and fix it it gave me a media missing error. So in true Neanderthal logic, I gave the laptop one square punch to the top left corner, and like magic, now it works again... most of the time


Also, just because I have time (since I'm not at Exeter ahaha), I've been taking up the piano again. I can't believe I forgot how soothing it is. I really started playing because I was playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 with my younger brother, and then thought of this game -

- and then thought of this song:
Dire, Dire, Docks

Life was so simple and easy. Its ok, go ahead. Nostalgia. Enjoy, hope it makes someone's day.








Finally, heres the link and tidbit since we were talking about Super Mario Galaxy 2. I opened the way I did because I've been seeing a lot of these articles. True or not, its pretty interesting. Check them out.
