Last night was supposed to be my evening of dancing, dinner and a movie. The perfect little date for myself. However, I went to dance class and the door was shut with no one to be seen, although apparently it may have just been in a different room... Dinner was fun, OM made me something along the lines of spaghetti carbanara, but not in the same way I make it. And painstakingly cut all the bacon up and off the bone because she couldn’t find real bacon at the grocery store. It was delicious! For the movie, I went with another friend to see Monsters vs. Aliens; a classic film that I would recommend to all ages. Apparently Hugh Laurie was in it, to me delight, which really just made the whole experience more fantastic.
Today OM tried driving in preparation for our road trip. She seemed nervous when she came back, so I organized an impromptu lesson with a coworker's boyfriend. So, in event of an emergency I would be able to drive however badly it was. And...
I did it! I drove standard. I got in the car, made it move and got it to reach a destination without invoking horrific cries from my co-pilot. Really what more could you ask for in a transportation experience?

I have always driven standard. Auto doesn't last long on Bombay roads, apparently.
ReplyDelete"Really what more could you ask for in a transportation experience?" - Cows blocking your road and showing no signs of ever getting up, especially if you have a really fast car. The joke wears off really fast, but while it lasts, it's really funny.

Overdid the 'really's
ReplyDeleteWhy would automatics not last long on Bombay roads? Cows are stupid.
