Day: September 14, 2006

I’ve had one of those rock-m, sock-m headaches today that Just! Won’t! Quit! with a frickin’ vengeance. The Headache Gnome has been ignored long enough and now he’s riding a dirt bike around the inside of my cranium, much like the stunt riders at the circus ride their dirt bikes inside a large metal cage.
So that really only leaves me one choice: Hit Gnome. A sordid, mysterious sort of gnome, who smokes unfiltered cigarettes, drinks thimbles of whiskey, and refuses to wear the pointy hat but instead dons a red do-rag. He is a Renegade. One one bicep there’s a mushroom tatoo, on the other the requisite “Gnome Free or Die” with the national Gnome masonic symbol. His ride is, of course, a Harley DavidGnome. All the better to catch up with the mo-fo Headache Gnome, I say. Tear it up, buddy.

Apparently, the Imagination Gnome is hard at work today. That’s good. Somebody oughta work hard, and it’s not really turning out to be ME.

UPDATE (3:40 p.m.): The headache is nearly gone, and it seemed to dissipate during a meeting with the Blandest Rep Ever. Seriously, his personality was as substantive as wet tissue. I thought Kristin was going to leap on the table and flash her boobs, just to see if he would blink. (she didn’t. I bet he would’ve.)

But I’ll tell ya that the vehicle I want to buy is a 2005 or 2006 Nissan Murano:

(this is a fancy new one.)

A person I work with has one & I tested out hers – it’s a pretty sweet ride. Very comfy, way roomy and I dig the elevated view without being “way up high” like you get in some SUVs. This is more of a crossover between an SUV and a sedan. But apparently, adjustable pedals are a little harder to come by. Scorpy, thanks for the compliment that I’d look good in a Mini Cooper – I think they’re wonderful cars! I just think the Wo and I would look like two very large groundhogs smashed into it for road tripping. ;) And we’d have to put the dogs on the roof! LOL! So, I’m hoping something comes through on the car front soon – I’m ready to get things wrapped up!
