(Sought out this screenshot before realizing John was in an actual Star Trek movie and I could’ve just used a photo from that for the bit. But the ripoff lightsaber is better)

omg i’ve been dying to do lemons. nowadays it’s tough to find even a non-running car for under $500 so it’s harder now than it used to be, but i would probably root around facebook marketplace for something that runs or almost runs but can’t be street legal, like something that doesn’t go into reverse or doesn’t have a catalytic converter or has body damage. derby cars, that sort of thing. as it is now i don’t have the skill money time or ability to build an actually competitive car, so i’d be going for something functional but mostly entertaining. like i’d be more in the realm of speedycop’s upside down camaro or that titanic limo over the like superlight miata built by like engineers and scientists. ideally i would be able to finish the race but i’d be in it for the silliness

Oh I haven't seen it but that's one of my favorite books EVER so it's been on my watchlist for a while!! I will move it to the top now...

Also btw it was the speed sensor and they replaced it and I’m getting my car back tomorrow

I used to reread Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven a lot, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami is something I grab every couple months when I need the inspiration. Beckett's trilogy has become a sort of meditative exercise for me. But I really do not reread anything very much, I feel guilty "wasting" time on stuff I've already read when there's so much out there I want to get to

Not too much besides the race!! We usually see a Broadway show or hit a couple museums but I’m trying to do as little as possible today and tomorrow lol. I think we’re mostly trying new restaurants this time but I doooo always love a bagel from Zucker’s
