Category: Miscellaneous babble

Every now and then, during one of the many internal conversations I have with the various entities inhabiting my brain, I’m stopped mid-stream shocked and horrified as I catch myself using terms like “y’all” and other bits of Southern slang.

I don’t think I’ve ever caught myself using it talking with real people yet, but the prospect of me inadvertently blurting out something like that frightens me.

I wonder if my friends will think my ‘accent’ has changed any since I last saw them.

The loud thunk I heard when I rolled down one of the back windows in the car didn’t sound good and sure enough, it wasn’t good either. I can hear the window motor run, but the window doesn’t do anything except make thunking noises. I’d guess that whatever mechanism makes the window go up and down has managed to disengage itself from the motor.

Managed to get the door panel off, but quickly saw that anything required to get it working again was a little past my comfort and skill level to handle. This of course means a trip into the dealer service shop for repairs.

Crap.

Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be anything horribly expensive to repair. There are already a few other routine maintenance things I need to get done to the car, and this isn’t helping any.

It’s a toasty one today, and considering it’s the beginning of July, it’ll be just one of many for the next few months. Not even 8AM yet, it’s already 27°C outside and forecast to get up to 35°C this afternoon with a heat index approaching 40°C.
Even the dogs don’t want to stay outside for more than 15 minutes.

It seems that while my penchant for spicy hot burn-your-mouth food hasn’t diminished with age, apparently my body’s tolerance for it has somewhat.
I was feeling some interesting sensations when I woke up this morning.
I suppose it could have been the beer too.

Blogiversary #4 slipped by me this weekend while I was busy doing other non-Internety things. Where does the time go…
