I've left my car at the shop for it's 60k service, since I'm out in cali anyways and don't need it. Unfortunately, they found some things wrong with it. Things to the tune of about 500 bucks :(. So I'll probably end up paying about 700 total when it's all said and done. But I'll have lovely new front and rear brake pads (from Midas, because the dealership quoted me a much-too-high price) and a new serpentine belt. And it will be clean, because the shuttle driver that took me to work monday morning is going to clean it for me because that's his thing, and I'm going to pay him 30 bucks. Not too bad for shampooing the carpets (Nat, I have the impossible-to-kill house plant that you gave me to thank for that), washing, etc.

A story about said shuttle driver, and other shuttle drivers: He hit on me. He was about 40 years old. Just like the shuttle driver last time I was in San francisco - also about 40 years old, from an african country (Eritrea). Both very straightforward: "Are you married? Dating anyone? No? You are very beautiful - I will take you out!". The guy in SF went so far as to call me his baby, his world, his sweetheart and said "If you do not give me your phone number, I will cry!" Freaked out? I was. The shuttle driver in New York gave me his phone number. He was the only one relatively near my age, and, I must admit, he was smokin hot. But still, what is it about shuttle drivers of foreign descent? They just can't get enough of me.

I'm sorry. Car repairs suck. No, really, they do. :-(

We each have our sphere of influence. You have shuttle drivers of foreign descent. I have men of foreign descent at the DMV. These mysteries are too vast for our puny brains to fathom.

You're nothing but a shuttle-driver heartbreaker, you vixen, you. You made a grown man cry.

What you should do is collect their phone numbers and give them out whenever a new shuttle driver begs for yours. Eventually, you'll start a network of lonely shuttle drivers, which will end in either Kumbaya or bloodshed. Ooh, ooh, I can sell tickets!

You know, in most other countries, women of fuller figures are alot more appreciated than super skinny girls. The whole anorexic look is really a western culture thing. Probably these guys are wanting to send home pictures of the sexy american woman that they're dating to show off to all of their friends. ^_^ Sorry, I know you wanted to hear that they were attracted to your brilliant mind, but it's probably the brilliant boobs.
