Every night when I drive home from work when there are very few cars on the road, I test myself. The challenge is to not use breaks. Ever. I have to drive out of a car park, down a street with three sets of traffic lights and.. thinking.. fuck it I'll just look at a map. It has nine round-abouts and an additional large one at the very end which I have to turn right at. Then this street has two more large round-abouts and another one I turn left at at the end, then a right turn into my street, and a left turn around a corner and parking my car. I almost did it tonight. I got all the way along the long street without breaking, turned the corner, and then the next round-about was my downfall. I accelerated to 70 and I didn't give myself enough time to slow down without breaking before I got to it. I was fine until I had to turn into my house, when I had to break to stop.

A little bit of excitement in my otherwise boring, dreary life.

I have nothing else to share, except that I worked nine hours today, and that I have a trade tape of Shop Girl to watch, starring Steve Martin, Jason Schwartzman and Claire Danes. Jess told me it was stupid and I'm defiant that I'm going to love it.

So whatever. I have tomorrow off, but I hate that that means I'm going to actually have to do the dishes. That shit's beginning to smell. I'm a gross, dirty boy.
