The 'more than you ever wanted to know about me' version.

I went to a party Sunday night, in an area of the state I'd never been in before. I made a wrong turn and, MD being such as it is, hit a pothole at least a foot deep -- deep enough and at a high enough speed that my bumper actually hit pavement. I remained unscathed and drove home.

Yesterday morning, I turned on the heat in my car, and there was this very disquieting whirr sound. Loud and reverberating, this sound did nothing to calm my nerves about driving a car that is not-slowly approaching its final days, but the car was running so I drove to work as normal. In the afternoon I went home early because I was feeling unwell, and called ahead to make sure my brother the car guru would be home so he could take a look at it.

He woke me up fifteen minutes after I got home out of my NyQuil-inspired nap to show me the pair of chewed-up pliers he had extracted from the region surrounding my air filter, offered a 'My bad', and went back downstairs.

...How's you?

ETA: Meeting in ten minutes, be back soon. Back!

...I'm confused. So did that fix it? Or he gave up? *confused*



I'm... here.

[muji]

That fixed it. *facepalms*

But yay for it being fixed!

[muji]

Yeah, it was just that the pliers must have been in there since the last time Will was working on my car.

Read: two weeks ago.

*snrk* Well, think of it this way: if you'd never hit the pothole, you might never have known they were there, and they might've damaged something important or expensive!





My lawyers are dopes. Well, really just one of them.

What happened now?

(the building provided us with a free continental style breakfast that consisted of very large bagels, very large croissants, very large danishes and very large muffins. frodo had to VERY large danishes.)

frodo: *rings me*
me: yes?
frodo: I ate too much.
me: . . .
frodo: I'm sleepy. I had too many carbs.
me: well, that'll happen when you eat too many carbs and sugar
frodo: so... can you check on me in like half an hour and make sure I'm not asleep?

[muji]

Come on, that's kind of adorable.

I know. There's a reason he's called Frodo. *g*

Yesterday was similar.


frodo: urgh. your cookies were delicious. but now I have a stomach ache.
me: did you eat too many?
frodo: yes. and then I ate all the chocolate covered pretzels from [co-worker]. and then I tried to tell her she didn't give me any chocolate covered pretzels in the tin, so she'd give me more, but she wouldn't. so I ate all the buckeyes in the tin.
