2 hours of sleep + 3 cups of coffee + monsoon raining = me getting rear ended by an old feller leaving target. shoooooooooot.
not saying this man wasn't intelligent by any means, but i'd like to examine a few of the idiosyncrasies of this man. first off, when i pulled into the bank parking lot to assess the situation, i pulled into a parking spot... he pulled a giant u-turn and parked horizontally across 3 parking spots with his front bumper about 3 or 4 feet from my passenger door. what's that about, sir?
anyhow, we get out of the cars, i run around to my bumper, no new damage. dude comes over and i say i'm sorry and explain that there was a van making a u-turn and he had the green light so i slowed down to let him go and he comes out with "well you hit your breaks".... well no shit- you failed to do the same, mister. hazaa. didnt say that, just repeated my explanation of why it wasn't unreasonable for me to start moving and then slowly stop when i wasn't even out in the road yet. whatever. he looks at his car, there is a little blue smudge from my bumper and a small scrape of paint missing (i'm not sorry by the way) and he says that it looks fine but he needs to pop the hood. -- alright. go ahead. he explains to me that this small bump in the road could have possibly jarred his camry's delicated infrastructure, possibly ruptured a gasket or sent a belt flying. --right. so he says oh, i think i saw you in target! were you shopping at target too?! i said yep, that was me at target, but we both were coming out of the target parking lot so i suppose it is reasonable that we were both in target and leaving target at roughly the same time. genius genius genius. so basically, he got my number in case his car blew up from rear ending me. that's fine, he told me 99% chance he won't be calling me, duh. but come on, totally his fault in every concievable way. just added to my incredibly overstimulated day of reversing bank fraud, shaking uncontrollably, adrenaline shock mind and body caffeine explosion.
but his remarks were quite humorous and at least he provided me with a sweet memory so i can look back and giggle at the situation instead of looking back with murderous bloody venom in my heart. so... YAY! not the mention the fact that this could have been a catastrophic event leading a 5 car pile up or injuries or death or not being able to take my car to nashville, and luckily it was a minor interaction, unnecessary and dumb yes, but minor. so thanks allen, thanks for the laugh. and thanks for your number, maybe i'll drunk text you sometime ;)
in other news, i have the most beautiful kitten in the world cuddled up in my bed right now. always at the most inopportune times like now when i would love so much to move everything she is laying on and make my bed for nap time, but no, precious princess clementine is far too perfect for such an abrupt disturbance at this time.
PUSHING DAISIES amateur REVIEW TIME: watched every episode of the series in two days, and i seriously can't wait to watch every single episode a second time. i enjoyed every single aspect of the show, the characters, the actors, the plot, the fairytale brought to life, the PIES, the colors, the clothes, the narrator, (Jim Dale, narrator of harry potter audiobooks -i knew i knew his voice!). just seriously every detail made me so happy. and just so sad that the show was being filmed during the writer's strike the first season (resulting in a measly 9 episode first season) followed by abc unexpectedly canceling the show midway through the seconds season (resulting in a 13 episode season with a million unresolved plotlines) so very unfortunate, but still absolutely fabulous and amazing. i don't typically get excited or animated over tv or movies, but this genuinely inspired me and made me want to share it with the world. first read about the show on
sometimes sweet and had added to a list of shows i wanted to eventually watch. i had absolutely no idea what the show was about or why watching it made her want to eat pie, but i was interested and found the opportunity to dive in whilst i was sick last week. just amazing. just love it. that's it. watch it. love it. live it. relive it. etc.
blah blah blah thank you very much. bam.
