So I was at a small BBQ last night but I decided to cut out kinda early because I just didn’t feel like being there. Why? I’m trying to figure that one out myself. This whole weekend has been very blase. The holidays aren’t here yet, but for some reason, I’m starting to get that “holiday blues” feel, ya know? I can’t really explain it and it’s pissing me off. I can tell ya one thing, though. I’m done with the California summer. Bring on the cold and windy weather with the orange and tan leaves.

I wass Jason vs freddy. It was awesoo eme and I am drunk! Thank you passadena! Goodnight!

The Frankfurt Auto Show, one of the large auto shows of the year, is happening now and this is my hub to information. The Audi Le Mans is very nice. I like how they smoothed out the new Subaru Legacy. The Mercedes SLR’s body is way too busy and complicated. Toyota’s CS&S looks somewhat interesting. The VW Concept R is quite a pleasant surprise. The BMW 645Ci is definitely my favorite, though. See anything you like?

I’m going to Tower Records more and more on Tuesdays now. So let’s just run down the list real quick. 24: Season Two, Family Guy: Volume 2, and Igby Goes Down as far as movies go. Then there’s John Mayer’s new album, Heavier Things. Alright, time to get back to Igby.

So I was checking out some Presidential weblogs using this directory and now I have a question. Why is it that none of the posts on those blogs are actually done by the person they’re representing? Maybe I should get all of you to post on my site and talk about how cool I am so I never have to waste my time doing it.

Put some good ones in the comments.

I think it finally happened. After 196,000 miles, I think the Acura is finally ready to die. It’s on serious life support right now. Driving home from work and stuck in street traffic, I hear a poof and a large amount of smoke begins to pour from the engine compartment. Luckily I was able to turn off the main street and pull over. I turn it off, open the hood, and all you can see inside is coolant everywhere. I mean everywhere. So I’m thinking one of three things. (1) A hose busted somewhere and sprayed coolant out causing the car to overheat. This would definitely be best case scenario, although least likely. (2) The radiator cracked and sprayed coolant out causing the car to overheat. Definitely worse, but really not that bad. (3) The headers and gasket cracked spraying coolant out causing the car to overheat. This would definitely be worst case scenario and mostly like to occur. If it’s the case, Acura is going to automobile heaven where cars frolic on fields of asphalt and dirt with other cars. Thank the maker I have a couple other cars. Until I can get a better read on it, the Acura sits patiently in my parent’s driveway.

Oh one other interesting thing did happen, though. The tow truck driver was pretty damn cool. Very red, but cool. To my pleasant surprise, when I got inside the truck I was greeted by one cute blonde. (cha-ching!) Naturally, I thought it was the driver’s wife or girlfriend or something. He yell over to us from outside, “Don’t worry. She don’t bite.” I ask her if that’s true and all I get is a, “Well…”. (cha-ching again!) She was also pretty red. So I’m talking to them both on the way back and I find out she’s the driver’s sister and he’s married. Not to her! They weren’t that red you sick bastards! So we get to the place and why he’s taking the car down I go back and get her number. (triple cha-ching!) Probably wont call it because, well, because. Still, it was interesting enough to write here I guess. Her name was Shannon.

Pray for Acura. Good luck to us all…
