I'm having a massive internal war between waking up, going to the gym and being productive tomorrow vs. sleeping in, having a delicious breakfast and doing nothing.

Fireworks actually suck shit. I'd be really captivated by them if I lived a thousand years ago but my house has electricity, I've ridden in a helicopter and seen two of the Avatar movies in IMAX. Grow up.

Today I was holding a key and noticed the keychain. It had a simple silver medallion with a heart and said "I love you." I realized I've seen hundreds of variants of this keychain over the years and unknowingly witnessed so much love. Even when everything seems shit, there is always love.

This is a human churu

Accidentally wrote "we ho socialize" instead of "we go socialize" in the group chat and honestly, I decided not to correct that due to the inadvertent accuracy

Proud to say I sat through my ditch today with no numbing cream. But I was a little bitch anyway, popping my knuckles on the other hand and curling my toes many, many times.

As we all know, I enjoy dabbling in nuclear nerdery, so imagine my shock when I'm watching a short on a swimming pool reactor and I notice a Skoda logo. Where Fiat dabbled, Skoda is STILL IN THE NUCLEAR GAME. Like, I am beyond shooketh...

New guy service advisor is straight outta Orange County. Alright, ya daddy's money little white boy, I know how to play your game...

Arguably the worst part of being a service advisor is knowing it's a job that essentially dead-ends

Update to yesterday's naked Fiat foundry workers! I found a later piece from 1960 where the artist did a bigger version, but gave everyone "pants."

Now, I'm no expert on foundries, and only kind-sorta an expert on Fiat history, but I suspect the men casting steel and aluminum parts a century ago were indeed wearing pants. Possibly need further research here

Legs are currently falling off, but Elise makes a good heating pad

In a shocking turn of events, I ran a quarter mile of my usual mile at the gym today. This reminded me that I run like a weirdo and should never do this.

Gas was finally down enough that I treated the Marea to a tank of mid-grade! Spoiled little ho

As I have the day off tomorrow, I'm trying to convince myself that starting the day by going to the gym is a good idea...

I installed a wildflower patch this spring and it's starting to pop off. Definitely plan to expand it next year.

"You make *international* bad decisions, at least mine are all in the same county" -Our parts guy

This squirrel has absolutely hustled for snacks before

Laying around taking slightly tart-ish pics while listening to two women discuss church drama

Mayonnaise. Possibly the most vile substance on earth.

In an attempt to piss off three countries at once, I made pizza beans on toast using a baguette.

Some people see the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast. I found a dick in a bag of Chex Mix

The strongest thing on my body is my leg-closing muscles. Absolutely no irony there whatsoever😂

Y'know what's fucked? I bought some fancy hybrid melon and nearly chopped my thumb off cutting it (my bad, not the melons fault) and the melon isn't even that sweet.

This is the most color I've worn in a long time

Checked Marc Almond off the ol' bucket list! Still would love to see one of his christmas cathedral shows though. (Minus Jools Holland, who always seems to tag along to fondle pianos)

First show for my $10 boots!

I do love a good DC-10

In 1965, Horst Baumann really went for "let's shoot Mirafiori, but bisexually" and never has anything in the history of humanity ever been so Andrea-coded

Apparently when the check engine light comes on in a French car, you go straight to the pope.

I thought I bought three Lancia magazines on Ebay for $13. Turns out I bought 14, plus a few dupes. I am a very, very happy girl

I ain't no snitch, but there's a dude running the Mille Miglia in a Fiat 8V on Montana plates and never in my life have I wished to drop a dime on another Fiat owner before.

I face another week of not making my heart sing by somehow being employed as an Italian automotive nun. On the other hand, it's a three day week because I'm leaving town to see Soft Cell/Marc Almond on Thursday. And taking the XLR-V to get there

Why did we have to get vaporwave instead of Japanese Cyberpunk?

The European aftermarket cup holder can not comprehend the American cup. It's my fault though for taking fast food into an Italian car.

Good news, I got the garage guest's fiddly ignition to turn, so the Pantera saw daylight!

I have a delightful guest in the garage tonight, but pray she will start in the morning cause her ignition is extremely fiddly

My goal is to be the world greatest author of wildly esoteric Fiat history

"How much to put a brand new engine in my 335i?" ...It took every bit of self control I have not to scream...

Average 8 year old Panamera...

Made the mistake of looking at fashion trends, then remembered I am shaped like a potato and literally nothing can make me look good. There is no way to style a fat, lumpy cylinder of flesh

Every day I wake up and I'm not some sort of hermit studying the ancient Fiat literature deep in some centuries old archive is another day of my life wasted

Felt like I was doing good this morning. Ended up feeling like a cupcake after meeting a sledgehammer. All I want in life is to be worth something. I am not worth anything.

I got a nifty vintage watch. Yes, it has Fiat etched into the crystal

The first couple Watch Duty notifications hit today, thus opening wild fire season! Definitely smelled like a range fire too.

Just browsing YouTube on a Eurovision Where Are They Now kick and I feel like it would be a shame not to offer this to my jet-setter friends youtu.be/Y8TcF-r7TaE?...

I am absolutely horrified with my brain for making this connection. Like please, someone beat the shit out of me so the concussion can erase this

Blatantly stolen from the 'gram (danilic, to give credit) but due to my outright hatred of Apple products, this just makes it even worse!

Age-old rule in journalism is to always get the dog's name. But especially when they shoot someone.
