Nope, that was just common courtesy from one arachnophobe to others😅

"Everything will be okay, after all: you drive a Lancia" is something I say to myself rather often. But it's usually more like "ain't none of these other bitches drive a Lancia."

Honestly, I just wanted to get the cardio portion of gym time over with, so I ran till I felt like my heart would explode in order to be done faster. Folly? Absolutely. Youthful? My knees disagree.

For the first time in a very large number of years, I ran an entire quarter of a mile in one go (and walked the other 3/4ths as usual.) My legs are now falling off.

Standard post-St. Patty's shits after green cupcake consumption. I've never had green beer, so I can't confirm or deny

I've thrown enough shade that it's now mildly irritating to admit that it's not as bad as expected

I asked the universe to bring me more money. The universe told me sure, but you gotta work for it. Right when I'm in panic mode over my nonexistent free time. So I'm just gonna make my free time even less existent. Let's fuckin' goooo

Legend has it I was afraid of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but the first movie I still remember visceral fear from was The Sandlot. Yes, I was a chicken, and I remain a chicken.

As someone who doesn't like chili in general, I'll stick with a nice, safe corndog or two. Far more palatable and with significantly lower ass-shitting risk

Last time I saw this car, it came in to my work after being lightly on fire. So glad to see it had a happy (and interesting!) ending!

I've reached such a point of ceiling fan shopping hatred that I just periodically browse ReStore on the assumption that a good one will come up eventually. Everything available new is stunningly awful

I truly wish I could stop people from driving off in unsafe cars, but there is nothing in this state to prevent it, so the best I can do is a big "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" on the paperwork and agressive use of my highlighter.

Why is it, when you want a good "I hate fascism" type patch for a jacket, it's all like cutesy, flowery bullshit? *Sigh* guess it's time to dust off the childhood embroidery skills...

I made the mistake of looking at my calendar. Holy baby Jesus fuck my life, October is insane. I have one (1) free weekend.

I just did that thing where I occasionally look up fashion trends before remembering none of it applies to a fully paid-up member of the Council Of Goths. In fairness, figuring out how to style the lower half of a prom dress is inherently challenging

Every time I'm irritated af in the shop and ready to walk, it never fails that I end up talking with a client and I remember that I actually care about them and I would miss them terribly.

You're certainly reading quite a lot into this from one skeet. I somehow don't feel like I need to apologize about planning ahead for my 10 hours in France on my way to bury myself in an archive in Italy.

Ugh, it just feels incredibly rude to march in somewhere and expect everyone to speak English. In a country with it's own language.

Oh god, I absolutely could not order American fast food in Europe, even if it was to see if a movie reference was real😂

Yes, I'm figuring out how to do Paris train stations a month in advance. I'm considering just starving between London and Turin because the idea of trying to order food in hastily learned French or in English is far too cringe. I could order in Italian, but that just seems bizarre. Better to starve

Did my semi-annual wardrobe switch today and discovering I have two nearly-exact-same skirts, just from different brands and in slightly different fabrics, has given me a severe guilt trip. Overconsumption shame is real

Somebody killed a bottle of wine in the lot where we were filming, so naturally we left it in the back of the shot

That's a reasonable way to think about it, but the only ones going to the crusher these days are used-up parts cars. Kimera has inadvertently set a relatively strong floor for a decent roller, which bumps the value for a good runner.

Filming a Lancia thing with a YouTube guy in the morning and I am deathly nervous. I am stupid and look like a potato, why am I doing this?

I loathed Breaking Bad and will die on the hill that Chernobyl is the best modern show out there. That said, I watch virtually no TV, so my experience here is limited.

I'd say find a reasonably maintained 1st gen Boxster or possibly Cayman. Bonus points if the IMS has been taken care of and the seller has pics of the cylinder walls.

I've got a 1st gen Boxster supposedly being towed out to Copart any day now. "Just needs transmission"
