Feelin' near as faded as my jeans

Am contemplating skipping WSFA because I am not doing the Beltway at night, and I am really not doing an hour of overland routes, not when I'm this wiped out. Anyone up for a metro pickup?

Have rediscovered Redbox. Will probably spend this weekend watching $1 DVDs on the baby laptop while unpacking. I've only got pretty much the entire Hollywood backlog to catch up on. I Am Legend was okay; the ending irritated me, but Will Smith can be the last man in NYC any time for me. Juno was cute, but the main character was a little too level-headed. Definitely more of a deliberate fiction for charm than fiction aping life for truth.

How is it almost midnight? Dear body, if you don't start letting me get more sleep I will go crazy. Crazier.

Redbox is awesome for those of us too cheap to do netflix, who only sometimes feel the need to watch movies. $1 a movie is a perfectly reasonable price.

Please don't skip WSFA. You need to run the meeting.

If I had Netflix, I would never leave the house! I'd just binge on movies all summer (too hot to go out) and through the long dark winter nights.

I'd only blow it off if I couldn't get a ride. I can't run the meeting if I'm bleeding out in the ER from an unexpected introduction to a Jersey barrier. Fortunately, people came through for me.

Nighttime highway driving is always a little scary at first. I'm pretty sure that for the first 4 months after getting my license, I only got on the highway with my dad in the passenger seat navigating. Trying to concentrate on staying in lane and not hitting other cars combined with reading the signs for exits etc at 60 miles an hour is not a skill set required instantaneously.

And driving at night on the East river Drive in sheeting rain terrified I was going to hit something because I could barely see where the barriers on the side of the road were i not an experience I want to have again.
