After my 1200 mile road trip I'm starting to pay more attention to my Mazda6.
a.) I apparently was missing my lug wrench so I bought a decent one that is probably better than the factory one anyway. b.) my tires might need replacing c.) I need an oil change d.) my car is approaching 50k and that's when the warranty runs out e.) I learned about cabin air filters, found mine in the car, and saw how dirty it was.
It's a funny thing about the cabin air filter. In my owners manual, it says to replace it every so often (I can't remember exactly). However, it does not say in the manual where to locate said filter. You can get it changed at a dealership for over $50 or order the part yourself for about $25. Thankfully there are Mazda6 enthusiasts out there and someone posted a step-by-step guide (with pictures!) on how to change it. I pulled out my glove box, opened the filter compartment and pulled it out. I was amazed how much junk where in there.
I guess since my car is the most valuable thing I own I might as well take care of it.

As the JL member voted "Most Likely To Marry First" I'm doing the best I can to make it happen. In a fit of insanity, I responded to a personal ad on craigslist. The guy posted with a Ben Folds quote. I did not respond with intentions to date the guy. I just felt compelled cause of the quote. We've chatted online and traded myspaces. He's a complete loser from his picture but we can always be online friends.
I've got a friend from high school who drives this: Lexus LS460 We've been talking for months that we should go out on a hot date. He's a dweeb and short so we would never date. I will however ride in his pimp car. He's got it in black. It's a manual or otherwise I would drive it.
As a final option, I've sorta been seeing Chip, the general manager from the Garner theatre. We saw Ocean's Thirteen at my theatre tonight and he asked if I wanted to get Cold Stone afterwards. I declined, but because I also brought Holly to the movie. She didn't sit with us and he didn't even know she was there. He's a little older (early 30's) and divorced (the girl f'd him over) so there are some red flags there. His birthday is on Thursday and I'm gonna buy him a cake or bake one and take it to his theatre on Wednesday. GM's don't work on Thursdays. Three years ago I made him an awesome cookie cake with the Green Lantern logo on it. We've been friends for a long time but have just started to actually hang out recently. We'll see what happens.
The boy of my dreams is Chris from Charlotte. I'm not there and he isn't here so it would never work out between us. Maybe one day we'll both be in the same city again.
I wish I had a cute coworker to set one of you up with. I've got plenty of them if you like the 18 and younger crowd.
It's 4:09 a.m., the perfect occasion for these Sin City breakfast tacos. How awesome is Robert Rodriguez for having arms like Rafael Nadal and keeping lard in the house. Gotta love a man who knows how to cook... that is only partly a euphemism.
My second most awkward moment yesterday was being at the Estee Lauder counter in Dillards yesterday with my mom and grandma and watching them get free samples of foundation put on their faces as "This Is Why I'm Hot" played on the radio.
The most awkward moment from yesterday is too good to type right now. I'm gonna have to save it for later.
Thank you for my tax refund of $104.00. It was a pleasure being a non-resident in your state. I'd do it again if I had the chance, even if it means filling out your normal state tax form and partial year resident/non-resident forms again.
