So, because I have so much stuff going on in my head, it is time for some digital vomit. Aren't you glad you started reading this? In short order, here is some stream of consciousness.
Charlie Huston has the most incendiary and awesome dialogue I have read in a long long time. If you can handle or like gratuitous and gross things that most Christians and many nice respectable people cannot, read "the Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death." It's amazing, and a must-read.
I got stopped by a cop the other day(night). This was after the family reunion I went too, and after I'd been hanging out with cousins watching Napoleon Dynamite. It's always fun describing how that is really how Idaho looks (that part at least), and that I have friends from that area...it's a rich life. She (cop-ette?) pulls me over for having a brake light out. sees my insurance is expired. smells alcohol on my breath (I stopped drinking two hours previous, but considering I started nine hours earlier...), sees (unopened) beer in the backseat. I don't know what it was, but she believes me when I tell her I have my new insurance card in Portland (true) (this is 300 miles north near Canada, btw), believes me that I am taking the next left up ahead for my uncle's house (true) and that I didn't know my brake light was out (sort of true?) SHE LETS ME GO WITHOUT EVEN A WARNING. That is the grace of God right there. Any other city besides Oak Harbor where nothing happens, and I'd have been in jail before I could burp up some carbonation. (I'm fairly certain I would have passed any field sobriety test, include breathalizer, but still, they'll hit you with DUI for almost anything.
I need a new car. badly. The current one, you can hear three blocks away like it's about to disintegrate. Struts need replaced, brakes need replaced, suspension needs replaced, CV joints need fixed. Engine block leaks like the Iraqi border, the wiper fluid doesn't squirt, the AC stopped working (bad time, may I mention?), etc etc. Oh, and the tabs expire in two days. So, a new car is wanted, very badly. I have a loan approved, I just need to find something. help?
and the internet does get to know more about me, as I know it doesn't care for me, even though it tells me otherwise.
It feels good to get out of Portland for a bit, only to escape the heat. *insert panting here*

If you just need a really good commuter car, try Kia. I have a 2008 Rio and it is great, well other than it is to small now that I have a baby. :)
Yah - I'm looking at a Spectra hatchback tomorrow...I like the look, and I've driven one before, so we'll see.
