Did you see the episode of Fishing With John where John went fishing with Tom Waits in Jamaica?

I have never heard of Fishing With John, so no. Top 3 Tom Waits' acting performances off the top of my head and presented in no particular order: Renfield in Coppola's Dracula, Domino, and Seven Psychopaths. (Coffee and Cigarettes is not acting.)

Fishing With John is really good. It's an old reality show, every episode musician John Lurie goes fishing with a different celebrity. Jamaica with Tom Waits and ice fishing with Willem Defoe are super great.

the car I had with a manual transmission was like a little matchbox car too, it owned

I wish I hadn't put off learning stick for so long, because driving it is amazing

also feeling kind of crappy about putting that bunny down and I don't even know why, it was either kill it or like, stick it in the side yard to be die slowly/possibly be devoured by cats slowly

oval office raja, don't feel bad. even though there were probably weird wiccan ladies in your area who take in strange animals, like the one in my village who took in the no-eyed calf. but it must be harder in the city.

OH poo poo, what coupe model is that? my sister had that car in high school when I was like 11 and i thought it was cool as poo poo cause of the folding headlights exclusively

It was in pain, and you stopped it. The best vet on earth wouldn't have been able to help it get better, and even trying to get it to a vet would have prolonged its suffering. You stopped it from suffering; you did all you could do.

I enjoyed American gods because it caught the vibe of these different American places.

Not a fan in the furry sex with a cat god, reverse birth and other 'edgy' things.

edit wait if you're just asking make and model it's a '90 Dodge Shelby Daytona, tiny car that my dad helped me put a slightly bigger engine in for fun. it was like what I imagined driving a race car would feel like when I was a kid

I dunno the details on the car in that pic, I wasn't using the search terms correctly because apparently half the internet thinks of the car as a "plymouth daytona" and the other half thinks of it as a "dodge daytona" which is weird. I found one exactly like the one I had, except mine also had a thin neon green line going all the way around it, with a thin neon orange line going all the way around right above. Like 1/10th of a inch thick. I assumed they made the car go faster

here is what I had

http://imgur.com/Njvh49E

Also I would rather have drowned the bun while running and holding the bucket handle with my teeth than hand it over to some well-meaning but dumb Wicca lady so she could stuff its intestines back in with no anesthesia so it could die of sepsis in two weeks. Poor baby bun. It was so scared, but did not try to bite me.

Thank you. I know I did the right thing, animal control out here is stretched thin, shelters won't take bunnies that weren't pets at some point, and it obviously did not feel good. I didn't even know it was alive until I walked up and realized it had that bunny "oh poo poo what's goin' on" alert stance, sort of. I knew what I had to do and did it without feeling bad at the time, but I went to bed and woke up at 1 AM (normal) and cried a little bit over a baby bunny (not normal). I guess it's a delayed reaction of some sort.

Also the yuppie I live with is treating my actions like some sort of "harming animals as a child = potential psychopath" thing. like I did it FOR FUN

I can't wait to move

Oh also we're moving p soon, I can't remember if I posted that or not.

i'm just getting down because they're piling more work on me than i can physically do in a day, every day, and i'm staying back late and not having breaks and just working working working all day, every day, and they still get lovely with me when i don't get everything done, and i only have ten days left of the internship so i don't want to lose my energy now and part ways on a bad note but i've been working for months and my savings are all gone and i'm just so tired :(

tell them how you feel, say you want to complete the internship to everyone's satisfaction but that you're stretched too thin between the work-load and your personal life. if they're not assholes, they will surely understand.

How much longer is the internship av? Seriously don't be afraid to speak up when your workload is full.



Cars I have owned:
1981 leyland mini
1973 ford fairlane
1979 Oldsmobile regency 98
1982 Mazda 323
1994 Subaru legacy
1997 BMW 318ti
1998 Chevy cavalier

I didn't bother buying a car in Australia, and I drove either a Toyota hiace van or a Mercedes Vito van for work. The Canadian cavalier is the saddest regression, it is super crappy.
