ugh. pissed the fuck off. i hate it that i used to be a good athlete but now i’m not — at least among the Bryn Athyn crowd (which is not representative of the overall U.S. population, by the way). but it angers me. it really, really does. i guess i’m just ashamed.
usually Tony is the only one to talk about cars, but i’ve got big problems of my own this time. while going to lunch today, a guy got out of his car at an intersection to tell me my brake lights were out. wonderful. i knew from a previous checkup at Toyota that the lamp failure sensor was fucked up, so i drove to the dealership after work to get a new one. actually, let me clarify that. i journeyed there — must’ve been 40 minutes, in a car with no A/C and the temp 100 degree with high humidity. no shit. anyway, i get there, buy the part for one hundred and eighty three dollars (ouch! luckily mom is picking up the tab), plug it in, and it doesn’t fix the problem. it wasn’t wrong to buy the sensor — it’s just that something else is screwy with the electrical system too. gawd.
ugh. so i start back home, only to pick up Old Welsh Road realll quick and slide into the Valley in about 5 minutes. wtf? yeah, unbelievably, i managed to make this trip into a friggin quest. don’t ask me how — i still don’t know. oh, and since i didn’t have brake lights any of the time while driving, i had to turn on my normal lights whenever i braked to “fake out” the cars behind me like i the brake lights worked. uhh, yeahhh.
bleh. in fast food news, i must report that the Taco Bell is Southampton is decidedly mediocre, unlike the fabulous Taco Bell in Evanston, which offers unmatched speed and politeness. (i think so much of that particular restaurant that i called 1-800-TACO-BELL at 1 a.m. to tell them so.) by contrast, the Southampton TB is slow, and evidently they haven’t yet figured out how to make the krispy twists. thumbs DOWN.
on the other hand, Wendy’s stock is definitely rising in my estimation. the 99 cent Super Value Menu is just friggin untouchable. top to bottom, that’s some serious bang-for-your-fast-food-buck. salads, baked potatoes, JBCs, frosties, chicken nuggets — i can only hope to marry a woman that pleases me like Wendy does.
