Could use another year, year and a half.

Yes, there's still the weekend, but that doesn't count.

Dragged out of bed at the normal work week time and drove Kuro to the dealership for his checkup. No bad news. Oil change. Check fluids. Check brakes. Wash and wax and interior vacuum. Mats cleaned. He looks quite spiff.

Spent two hours in the waiting room. I brought along the iBook, so I was able to work on Endgame revisions. I'm weaving existing text with new stuff, which seems to take longer than ground floor rewrite. I'm also getting too bogged down in twitching phrases back and forth and deleting/adding words, which is something for the last pass. Right now, it takes up too much time, but sometimes I can't help myself.

The iPod came in handy, as I was able to use it to block out the waiting room TV. At least it was the Today Show, which isn't too obnoxious. The dealership switched out their old TV for a new HD set and boy, is that unkind to the face. If you have large pores, they show up. Sags and bags and lines under the eyes--oh yeah. Even the layers of make-up on the glossy 20-somethings shows up. It really is merciless. I had read somewhere that actresses were complaining, and now I know why.

Adding morning shows (Today and the other ones) to the list of Don't Care About. They are so east coast/NY and 'in crowd' oriented that they simply do not apply to anyone on the west coast. I can't understand how some of the most boring stuff on TV has been on the air for most of my lifetime. Is it only for background noise (like musak) or do people really watch them?

I can't stomach the constant jocularity. Everybody is so g*ddamn perky.

Perky in the morning should be outlawed unless it's perky as in percolate.
