4am found me in the car shivering and rubbing my hands together as Sarah McLachlan serenaded me through my car’s speakers. My CD player decided to work today despite the cold. It took forever for my car to get warmed up this morning, though. I was worried about my sodas having burst on this very cold day, but they were fine sitting on the back porch of my parent’s house. Ever since my Honda got stolen on Christmas day a few years ago, I learned to always be with my car instead of cranking it up and going back inside to get warm. I have to remember we live in 2013 and not 1950.
The Procuring Man…
It seems I am in the constant struggle to procure things in my life. Sodas. Groceries. Cigarettes. I now realize these are all addiction fueled escapades. It can be maddening and tiresome at times. This morning was spent procuring sausage biscuits for Maggie and I. Sometimes messing up the kitchen from cooking can be a drag as you have to clean it all up. I was lazy this morning and headed down to fast food row. A big line had formed at the drive-thru so I just walked inside and got 3 biscuits and was on my way.
Voltage Overload (Computer Jargon)…
I realized this morning as I started my computer that the voltage of my RAM had been erroneously set to 1.8 volts. Alarm klaxons started to sound as the voltage of RAM should be set at 1.65 volts. This would have greatly shortened the life of my memory. I wonder if the 12 gigs of memory I got for Christmas defaulted to this value?
Listening to Amy Winehouse… “Frank”

We've learned that lesson in our neighborhood, too--don't leave the car to warm up by its lonesome. I think they've maybe even made it illegal, because kids could get into some kind of mischief with the car.
Klaxons? is that a Klingon word?
Dont you have a newer car you could drive?
I was wondering if you could offer some help with my computer. I have a DVD stuck inside. It's a Dell Studio laptop. When I try to eject it, it just makes the noise as if it's going too and then nothing. Sometimes it tells me there's an error and sometimes it says there is no DVD in there. Argh!
