The snow from this storm has weird properties.
The police just called…
With the asshole’s name and insurance information.
His name is Robert Paulson!
(Not really, but I’m trying to resist posting his asshole name. I’m tryin’ REAL hard, Ringo.)
(His name’s not Ringo, either.)
This is the asshole who hit my car because I was “an asshole” for not letting him go in front of me. He’s also the asshole who didn’t stop to exchange information, but who DID have to stop at a red light.
Aw, why you gotta be like that, Friday?
New computers sure ask a lot of questions.

Have spent the past day doing similar. Moving from 13” MBP to 11” MBA. THat means all my heavy files can’t fit. So they’re going on the home iMac. DATA! DUPLICATES! WHAT WILL I LOSE? STAY TUNED!
I had to offload over 400 GB to fit on the Mini’s internal drive. I will soon find out if the official “Movies” folder can be external. I’m glad I have backups galore.
Backups Galore. Wasn’t that a Bond girl?
Oops…
Aw, Apple! Why you gotta build a sweet computer with a name and looks to match my car and then go and make me hit the brakes when you leave out the optical drive??
WHY??

Today I spied another silver Mini, so I parked…
I used to have a Cooper. Loved that damned car. I’d get another one, but I’d get an S Works.
I got an S loaner a couple of times. The power is startling and intoxicating, even with the automatic transmission. An S Works with a manual would be like, whoa.
(My transmission is a joy, BTW. Six-speed [even in the base model], precise [very German], high quality you can feel with every shift.)
I didn’t like the additional mechanical noise the S’s engine made, though. And the stiffer ride was punishing. I can’t imagine what the thousand-mile drive to Chicago would have been like in an S, never mind an S Works.
Also, I really love getting 34-36 miles per gallon (14-15 km/l, for you metric peeps) while still driving it for fun. LOTS of fun. I’m now able to make a lot more yellow-light turns that I wouldn’t have previously attempted, thanks to its cornering prowess.
After I got it, my girlfriend started noticing Minis. She saw one make a turn, and said that it looked like a video game where they didn’t get the physics right. A car shouldn’t look like it’s going straight when it’s turning like that.
So I highly recommend whatever Mini Cooper floats your boat. They’ve got lots of ‘em. And you don’t have to buy into that “bonnet” shite, either.
Today I spied another silver Mini, so I parked next to it for a photo-op.
When I got up to it, I noticed that it’s a few years older than mine. You can see the distinct difference in the hood* architecture (aside from the scoop).
* I don’t care if they want me to call it a bonnet. It’s a hood. When I had a Korean car, I didn’t call the hood a “hudeu”.
This one time, I looked down and saw that I missed the 10,000 mile turnover.
Fuck.
Getting good gas mileage on the way to Chicago.
I think my car would fit in the back of that truck.
(NOT taken with that goddamn fucking Instagram.)
Maybe I’ll get a Hummer up front and put a Trojan in the rear.
What.
Thinking about getting this license plate frame for my car.
Whaddya think?
