a driver's education


rEdeMpTiOn iS tHaT wAy.

take it from me, in case there was any question in your mind, having your car towed in brooklyn sucks (especially when this discovery is made late on a thursday night as you are en route from one bar to another). going to the brooklyn navy yard and waiting in line to redeem it sucks more (and by waiting in line i do mean standing in a line of disgruntled and confused and not well bathed people to the tune of a few hours). getting up to the window only to be sent off wandering around a somewhat sketchy neighborhood with which you are unfamiliar on a sweltering june afternoon in pursuit of an atm because you need to pay your $185.00 towing fee + $20.00 storage fee in cash since the car is not registered under your name sucks even more.

but getting your car back in the end is pretty sweet.

eVeRyThiNg hItS aT oNcE. i have been a very lucky girl. in a span of less than 2 weeks i have seen 3 of my favorite bands play in 2 of the most amazing shows i've been to. i have jumped and bounced and danced and screamed and sung along and met band members and taken an obscene amount of photographs. i have had the f***ing time of my life.

inquiring minds want to know.

nAiLeD iT. in case the short answer of *because he was nailed to a cross and crucified* isn’t enough, a certain israeli researcher, one professor benjamin brenner, is challenging the 1986 journal of the american medical association assertion that jesus died from a fatal loss of blood and in an article in the journal of thrombosis and haemostasis (come on, you know you have a subscription) theorizes that it was a blood clot, a pulmonary embolism, that killed jesus christ. well, i don’t know about you, but i'll certainly sleep better with that nagging question finally answered.

( i wonder if the next time i find myself in church the nicene creed will be amended to “crucified under pontious pilot, which resulted in a fatal blood clot…”)

movers and shakers.

bRoOkLyN. dAy oNe. so far so good.

yesterday - a lot of lifting. a lot of cleaning. a lot of unpacking.
tonight - more cleaning. more unpacking. and painting. yay painting (!)

oh, the move itself. somehow meg's dad (who, by the by, is my new favorite person) managed to get all our stuff from the east village and a midtown storage space to a 3rd floor apartment in williamsburg with little other than the help of 2 twentysomething girls, all the while keeping us entertained and laughing. the pinnacle of the experience though was the u-haul rental. oh, lovely bushwick, you cease to amaze me with your assorted cast of characters. there was no way to politely get a picture of the woman who rented me the truck and the 3-4 teeth she was clinging to with dear life, but i think this shot of her desk speaks volumes and can give a pretty good idea of who i was dealing with. her rolodex was by far my favorite accessory. though the knocked over foam cup of writing instruments was also a nice touch. somehow, when i'm involved, it's always an adventure.
