Car Trouble

I'm not one to get attached to inanimate objects. My shoes are simply shoes; my keys mean nothing more to me than my chair (actually I love my chair-but still, it's just a chair). This is all a convoluted way of saying that I can't stand when people name their cars. Or refer to it in the masculine or feminine form. "She's been making that noise all week." Can your car reproduce little hatchbacks that grow up in to 8-passenger SUVs? No? Then your car is an it. Because females have the ability to produce offspring. This of course excludes the male seahorse, which, as everyone is aware, makes the babies. I know, I didn't even have to mention such a well known fact.
So when my windshield wipers started wiping even when they were in the "off" position, I didn't get upset or complain about my poor baby. I simply stated, "huh..." Not a question; a statement. While I don't think it's anything to worry about (it's not making my car any less safe), it is, as a co-worker stated, embarrassing. Having to drive the entire way to work with your wipers on (when not needed) makes you look like the type of person who shouldn't be operating moving machinery. It's not so bad on the highway, when everyone's traveling at high speeds and no one has the time to pay attention to you, but when you're stopped at a light and the person in front of you begins realizing that man, are you going through a lot of wiper fluid. Oh, which is another thing. Every so often, so that that annoying rubber on dry glass noise doesn't drive me insane, I have spray some wiper fluid, just to keep those wiper blades lubricated.
Here's a fun tip! If you can adjust it just so between your wiper settings on your steering column, you can stop your wiper blades. Which, while somewhat tedious (but gets easier with practice), is a better option than ripping out the wiring. Of course, since it's in between positions, it doesn't always stay in place, which I found out on the highway the other day. So now I'm driving 65 mph in the middle lane and trying to stop my wipers in the right spot. Because it's not enough just to stop them, they need to be stopped in the down position, so they don't obstruct the view of the road. And more importantly, so that you don't look like a fool. I should just get them fixed, but since they've been off, I tend to forget about it.
There's really only one positive in all this: it rained the other day, and I didn't even have to turn my wiper blades on.

An apology for my absence

It's true, I haven't written in a long time. And rather than making excuses, I'll simply say I'm sorry. I still like writing, but got a video camera a few months back and have started to make stupid web videos. It's been what I've been doing for the last 4 months.
Just today I made a short film and wanted to share it with everyone.
I hope you enjoy
