Dude, no

Sitting in the service area of Briggs Auto this morning, waiting for the Crossfire's oil change to wrap up. I'd been here for about half an hour, and I was settled in with Tumblr and the tea I brought, when this old white guy walked up to me, no introduction, no nothing, just "Do you need a ride somewhere?"

Dude, no. WTF.

I mean, I get that he's probably the guy who gives rides to people, but if I wanted a ride, I'd have asked for one when I got here? And to just offer a ride somewhere, with no explanation or introduction?



And I just learned that the reason the Crossfire's check engine light's been on for the past three months is that the battery is almost dead. It's supposed to have a charge of ~700 and the current charge is sitting somewhere around 250. Really glad I came in to get the oil changed before I drove to the airport for 221B Con because you know the way my life goes, that battery would've decided to die for real in the airport parking lot.

Later this morning is a serious sparring session with mckitterick to see if I can get some serious bruises to come out for the Moran cosplay (s-e-x-x-y*) and then it's food prep time. It's kind of a pain to carry around all my food for a five-day trip, but getting it all ready and building in enough variety to keep me interested and somewhat-decently nourished is actually pretty fun.

* ETA mckitterick is actually pretty sexy when he really fights and isn't just playing around. I'm hoping I can get him irritated enough with me to actually punch back. He usually holds back quite a bit because let's face it he could totally wipe the floor with me but it's just so much fun to see the change on his face when he decides oh it's on now.

You guys are awesome.
I like that you take so much thought into making all that food prep fun. It's amazing to me because making/prepping/all that is so low on my list of fun things to do.

But speaking of fun! Today: Fast & Furious 7!
Note to self, remember to have tissue for the inevitable dedication for Paul Walker at the end.

Haha..silly old white guy, they probably told him to do that, without giving him direction on *how* to do so. It's interesting how so many people just lack basic social skills.

I completely forgot FF7 opens today. Maybe we'll catch a matinee tomorrow. Thank you for the reminder!

Also, the sparring plan was a little too productive and I'm honestly having problems moving my arms. I'm already turning purple in three places, JFC.

It was hilarious, though. Between mckitterick not slowing down as much on the hits and my frequent dissolves into hooting laughter, my blocks were shit. I wish we'd had stuology get video.

Take a tissue.

It was Over.The.Top awesomeness of explosions and car porn.

I am really, really glad to hear that you got the car sorted out. Being stranded is never good.

God, especially at the airport after a vacation when all you want is to just be home already. UGH.
