How To Drive On The Highway

I work downtown now.

So my commute is a bit longer than it had been in years. It's still not bad at all but could be far better if people understood some basic rules that if everyone followed, highway traffic would rarely be an issue.

Lets use a 6 lane highway as an example.

The right lane- for going the speed limit and under.

The middle lane- For going the speed limit and over. And to quickly pass a car in the right lane.

The left lane- For going over the speed limit only. And to quickly pass a car in the middle lane.

If everyone did this we'd all be happier.

If you are in the left lane going the speed limit or below, you are screwing up things for everyone. There is no reason for you to be in that lane (other than the super rare instances of a left lane exit).

And one more tip slow driving left lane people, if cars are riding your ass because you are driving slow, don't slow down to finally try to get over. Go ahead and step on the gas, speed up and get the hell out of the way.

Thanks.

House For Sale

My friends are selling their house.

It is super cool. And super convenient.

You should buy it. Or tell someone you know to buy it.

Movie Review

The Presence-

I had never heard of it. It's running on HBO, so I tivo'd it. It is just from 2010.

It is 18 minutes into the movie before there is a single line of dialogue. I kinda liked that.

There were other things that were original and interesting. But the acting was made for TV movie bad. Then the last part really starts to drift and become quite silly.

If you have nothing else to do, nothing else you could watch then watching tis would be better than just staring at a wall. Unless the wall was really neat.

Yes. She fell.

Movie Review

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter-

Everything about this sounded stupid to me.

But it was good stupid fun. Turn your mind off and just go with the dumbness.

Ugh

Hung over.

Went out last night. Truly only had a total of 6 drinks. 2 old fashions and 4 beers.

Ended up full on asleep at The Handlebar at our table.

Thank you to my friends for making sure I stayed living. Maybe you can fill me in on all the parts of the evening I don't remember.

But I was good and did not drive. Stayed on a friends couch. It is a comfy couch.

Gravity

this looks good and terrifying. But I have no idea what it will completely be about.

Next Week

My pool will be opened.

Let the wonderful times start.

If you want to be on the invite list, let me know. If you want to swim and don't say so, then you are out of luck.

Movie Review

Lords of Salem-

I liked it. I'm not sure everything has made sense in my brain yet, but it had a cool look about it that I really enjoyed.

It's a movie that I want to watch again. I think there is far more going on here to catch in a single viewing.

It's not scary, but it has a creepy 70s horror film vibe to it.

Things That Happened

Last day at work happy hour. Many drinks had. Skeeball played.

Read the first in the series Z2134. Good pulpy read.

Massage. Relaxed.

Wood bought. Fence (to conceal pool equipment) started.
