It is so much loving better. You probably remember it is a "cool truck" movie, when really it's about social injustice

It's a rather painful social statement in light of current racial injustice.

I love the movie with all my heart but can't supress the emotions in relation to the message of the film, and the lack of progress with white supremacists still in charge.

I would seriously implore anybody who can't recite the move by heart to eatch it with a "clean slate" state of mind

It will be so much more than you could remember.

Ugh, woke up for no reason and couldn't get back to sleep. Having some decaf tea with some scotch while waiting for my brain to stop being an rear end in a top hat. (Spoiler alert: it won't.)

I do have to wonder why I have two bottles of GlenDronach Allardice 18. Not that I'm complaining, it's just that it seems pretty good for someone who doesn't really drink scotch. I think one is from the BIL for Tet Jr's birth, but the other?

One day a Mazda 3 keyfob (narrowed down to a 2006-2009) with a flip out key, showed up in the middle of the floor in my apartment.

I've lived here since March and literally nobody has ever been in here but me. I know this, as I also have cameras and motion detectors that would notify me (and the AC controller would turn the fan on and send me a text if it detected motion).

Fully convinced it was just wedged in the recliner by a PO and fell out one day while kickin' it, otherwise I have a Spectral Math Teacher situation.

Not remotely related aside from house sale, but.... delivery story.

Parked in front of a house for a delivery, right at the mailbox. Noticed... uh.... wait, there's no pathway to the door near the mailbox, never seen that before. poo poo, the garage is on the main road (corner house), and the only path to the door goes from that. No sidewalk on the main road or the street the house is on. I don't feel like paying frogger.

Customer opened the front door and clearly understood what was going through my head... "dude, walk across the loving yard, I don't give a poo poo... we just sold the house, it's the new owner's problem next week!".

Had to laugh quite a bit at that, still tried to take long steps. I'm courteous enough to NEVER walk across someone's lawn unless that's the only way to get to their door. I consider it disrespectful (my stepdad is super loving anal about his lawn, to the point of using a ruler to measure how high the grass is and how high his lawnmower is [even though he hasn't even checked the oil on it in 5 years, much less ever changed it or sharpened the blade]).

Cake, it's far better than you remember, at least if you have a passing understanding of US politics and racism (and it seems those in the UK and Aus have a far better understanding of what's going on here than 99.9% of Americans...)

I thought that counter was just stuck at 0 these days?

The "Number of hours since STR's GF got pissed off at him" counter is counting backwards now, for anyone wondering. It's gonna tick a few hairs further back in a few minutes when I bomb the bathroom, since the pho she insisted we get yesterday hasn't agreed with me (I love pho, but I've destroyed 5 bathrooms so far in a little over 24 hours... 2 gas stations, 2 restaurants, and mine). Oh yeah, she ordered pho with tripe, and refuses to eat it (can't say I blame her there, but why order tripe if you won't eat it?).

Last month, my wife and I sold both our cars. We bought an 09 Mazda Atenza/6 Wagon for her to use with the kids. Mean while I've had a couple of grand burning a hole in my pocket to get something cheap and cheap to run for my 50km/week commute.
Yesterday I came home with this:


1993 Toyota Levin GT Apex. Manual with a Silvertop 4AGE. Absolute hoot to drive. Paints hosed a la 90s toyota but body is straight. Now to look into trying some motorkhana.
