- i left the keys in the door for the second day in the row. this morning tim wakes me up and says, "hey i put your keys on the kitchen table. they were in the door." and then he was all smart ass and said that we didnt get robbed or anything.

- i walked zoey on the bike ... she tries to be the pack leader but cant when i ride the bike. 2 wheels are just faster than 4 legs.

- i'm watching american gangster. a few things:
some of the movie, denzel washington isnt even in america. he's in thailand. and then denzel doesnt play a good drug lord. like russell crowe and denzel should switch roles (except for that whole part where russell crowe is doing the lawyer-she says "eff me like a cop, dont eff me like a lawyer"-yeah, denzel washington doing that one scene? not so much). i'm sure there's a lot more deeper stuff to say about the drug war, good cop/bad cop, commercialization, community, etc. but yeah.

- i helped someone start up their car. they called me and i totally had no jumper cables. so i asked the mexicans across the street for (OKAY WOW DENZEL JUST SHOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD!) some and he gave me one. the black lady next door was a little too old and i dont even think she knew what a car was. so i went to my friend, the victim of the not working battery, and she told me to turn OFF my working car while we attached them. and i thought you were supposed to keep the cars ON. so i call mick. and he talks us through the process. we hooked the plus up first (thats red for all you not in the know). and then my friend's jumper cable didnt have plastic on the part where you put your hands to squeeze the jumper cables. so we had 18 bazillion reassurances that it wouldnt eloctrocute us. and we touched the metal that was exposed on the jumper cables really fast to make the inevitable shock we were expecting quick and painless. thank god, no shocks. so we started up her car! 2 women of the 2000s! the worst part though had to be taking the unexposed jumper cable off ... bc it was charged up and all connected to the cars that were running. but we unhooked all the other 3 jumpers and got the guts to take the one without the rubber protective coating on the handle off. all while both cars were still running. we threw the jumpers on the grass so they could "ground" themselves. the person i had helped was a yoga buddy, so its not surprising that we felt the jumper cables had to ground themselves. okay i talked far too long about that.

(ooh denzel just said "the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room" bc he saw this snazzy dressed guy that is wearing pleather at a party. go denzel with your bad self.)
