Mini Me

OK, so you may have noticed a serious drop in content being produced by your’s truly. It’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that maybe I don’t love you all that much. In reality, I’ve been busy so I wanted to take this opportunity to provide my mea culpa and present to you my new shiny 2007 Mini Cooper "S" - actual photo.

Yes. I finally bought a car. If you know me, then you know how long long long overdue this event is. But the stress of this effort, combined with an abnormally vigorous work schedule over the last week has left me spent.

This car rocks. I had forgotten how much a new car can really invigorate one’s life… almost like a (pun intended) new lease on life. Things look more colorful, people smell better and one can drive around town comfortable in the knowledge that you just don’t give a fuck about all those assholes out there. Suddenly, I’m above it all.

Wanna race?

Phew. You're back. I can again enjoy the information superhighway!

Come pick me up. I want a ride in your new car!

I am greatly saddened by this news. This car will surely be your Yoko Ono. New posts will display titles like, "Hey, People Aren't So Annoying After All!"; "The Smoking Ban: Reconsidered"; "Kids Rule!"; "I Love Drunken Bachelorettes!" and, alas, "Dear Ukraine, I'm Sorry."

We need to get in touch. I resigned from ASI last Monday.

That's hilarious, Marc. But I wouldn't worry. It'll take more than a shiny new car to cleanse ol' Malaprop of his cynicism and his blackened heart. Besides, he'll probably crash it in a few days anyway. Then all will return to normal.

I certainly hope he doesn't crash it, but if he ever does, it'll be the Smoking Ban's fault.

Well I hope you're happy Marc & Kuni... this morning, the new car didn't want to start, then I had to keep the engine gunned, then it died on me4 times with the engine trying to hang on to idle. Finally it warmed up but the check engine light is still on.

In other words... all is right with the world.

It wasn't dying. It was challenging you to a dance off.
