April 18th - Discuss amongst yourselves

Imagine your dream car, whatever that vehicle may be. It might be a Porsche or a Humvee, it could be the General Lee, KITT, or that monster truck that turns into a robot and eats other monster trucks. You can have this car today, free of charge, and the insurance will always be taken care of for you. There’s a catch, though. The radio can only ever play the song, “One Week” by The Barenaked Ladies. As long as the car is on, so is the radio. The volume goes from 4 to 10, and there is no off. The radio can never be fixed, and other media devices of any kind will not work inside your vehicle.

What would your car be?

Would you take this car?

My car would be Pink. And I would take it, because as my friend A often tells me "Jay, you are more annoying than BNL" and she's right. I could totally drown them out. No one would even notice them.

My car would be inside out, so everyone else would have to listen to it.

If I had a choice of BNL song though, it would totally be "Not the King of Bedside Manner".

In this case I would have to pick the classic batmobile, and you, Davey boy, would be sitting shotgun, singing along with me in our madness.

It'd have to be a Porsche 911 Turbo, but I'd likely not take it. If I can't fly in my dream car and be cranking whatever music strikes me at the time, it negates a lot of the pleasure of the dream.

Speaking of which, I don't know who took my Death From Above 1979 disc, but hitting me in the music is just cruel. I will find you and make you pay. While the disc is playing. Just for irony.

Well. I suppose the answer would have to be a mitsubishi eclipse, because that's what the commercial was selling and targeting all of us "more successful than mom and dad when they were our age" twenty-somethings.

I think whatever vehicle was picked, it would eventually end up wrapped around a nice oak or maple. That way, when I come out of my coma, I can sit up in bed and be like:
"It's been, one week since I hit that tree!"

I would take an old-fashioned Bug -- that seems the kind of car a hard-core BNL fan would want, auction it on Ebay and buy myself an early El Camino. I would drive it across Saskatchewan before I did anything else.

I want a violet '39 Pontiac Silver Streak with big splashy flowers all over it and a trunk full of $100 bills...or maybe 1 carat flawless diamonds. Yeah. Then I'd just take the Lear Jet everywhere I wanted to go. Plus I even like that song.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
