I just came back from the East Coast and when I landed in San Diego I was already too hot but too self conscious about my bad eating habits the past 4 days so I did not remove my sweatshirt. I also started some feminine issues on the plane. Further, when I got back to work (one of my lawyer-friends from the firm picked me up) I found out that…oops, I left my light on in the car for the past couple of days, hence, my car battery is dead. Aw man.
I had to get it jumpstarted and find the appropriate feminine supplies to rectify my seemingly disappointing situation.
Anyway, the road trip. It was much more fun than I anticipated. I always though John was a pretty boring guy but found out otherwise (Just kidding john..I think)

Miscellaneous comments on the trip (which were usually made by me or John, since we were the only ones in the car)
“I think you underestimate the consumption of eating shit”–John [comparing having to eat shit versus getting his package cut off]
“I would be Ginger Spice…I mean, I like Sporty Spice but she has no boobs and is the only one without the boyfriend. I mean, I’m always the one without the boyfriend. I have no need to replay that role” [me answering John’s question of which Spice Girl I would like to be]
“You can hold my hand if you want” (me)
“Actually can I grip YOU really tight and shake you back and forth for forcing me to do this?” [John on his nervousness on roller coaster rides]
“Hello, we would like to shop at your mall but we need directions. Could you give them to us?” [Me, on the phone, asking Springfield mall on how to get there]
“It must be my SARS” (Wilbur)
“That was an easy joke” (Me)
“I’m sure he knew that joke was easy thus he presentation of it and the knowledge that we all knew that joke was easy made it funny” (or something like that by John)
[everyone gaining up against me because Wilbur made a joke about SARS that I did not approve..bastards)
All right I am late but I will reflect more on the past events at a later date (like tomorrow)
Minimal Effort
