No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

so it's been over an hour and I am still just all... the hell?

What? About the Tree of Life? Malick doesn't make sense on TV. You have to see it in a theater. And even then it's not about making sense but it looks so amazing that you don't give a shit.

I wanted to see it, but I didn’t because I’m pretty sure it would be a trigger for me.

Wuh oh? I don't even know the plotline to be of help.

Brian's beemer has heated seats. He's kind enough to warn me he's warmed the seats ahead of time so I don't worry I've wet myself... I am still unnerved by them, but I get it more with leather seats. And days when it is 15 and even through my coat in my car, I get the full body shudders after sitting in the seat the mere sub 10 minutes to work.

But when he drove me to and from the clinic and I felt awful, I really loved them. When you're sick, a ride with heated seats is just divine. I think I threatened to sleep in his car.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't have to see it in a theater. it wasn't the size of the screen.

and clearly it was not about making linear sense or a plot sense. gorgeous yes. points, yes. evocative, yes. pretentious, yes.

but who was who and when and what I was seeing. It would help me more to be all loopy dopy music swelling image swirling, or a story, even a disjointed jumbled barely dialogued story. mush them together? I am just dizzy and wondering if my body is actually big enough to express the amount of WTF I am feeling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. Colin has a friend with a car that might fit my needs. I'm going to get him to work that angle. The list you sent me helped, Maria, and I think I'm going to chase down at least one of those cars tomorrow anyway.

You’re not getting another Jetta?

I understand why people kept trying to buy my Jetta off me. They're rare as shit on the market, the VR6s. I'd drive another one in a heartbeat, same year and all, and I haven't found one in the area.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Brian's beemer has heated seats. He's kind enough to warn me he's warmed the seats ahead of time so I don't worry I've wet myself...

That's totally what I thought the first time it happened to me!

I really don't have any interest in any of the Best Picture nominees, which kind of bums me out. Although my mother loved Hugo. They saw The Help, too -- I can't believe my parents totally beat me in Oscar movie viewing!
