I HEART WES

Last night after my ride, I went to Auto Zone to purchase my much needed car battery...being the engine fool I am, I let the cashier put it in for me. This always makes me feel very awkward watching the guy work while I sit on the curb smoking a cigarette...why, I'm not sure...maybe its the small talk, or maybe its the debate in my head whether or not to tip the guy even though you technically can't tip an hourly waged worker, or maybe its because I know he secretly hates me for not knowing how to put my own battery in (which I'm sure I could figure out, but really don't need to, if it keeps this guy busy). Whatever the case may be...thanks battery putter in guy.

After my brand new battery was put in, I decided I should spend some more money I don't have, and went to BestBuy for some movies. After countless times up and down the aisles, in between fat ladies and screaming kids, I ultimately ended up with two favorites I should have owned a long time ago...Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Once I got home, I threw the jumper cables back in the trunk and watched Life Aquatic. I'm sure you've all seen it, so I'll just make the one comment on it...the artificial worlds with stop-motion animation Wes creates are simply put...strange, weird and fantastic. Okay two...where did you come from? You look pregnant.
