about a week away from dropping "Nani?" in casual conversation

I'm back from the party.

I went at 2, got home round 10.

that was a long party

im a millenial at a rooftop party with a bunch of other millenials. uhhh

i wouldnt pay any money for this car. like. you would have to pay me

Maybe I haven't driven a lot of crappy cars but this one was bad. I think i've been the only one to drive it thus far because it was in the same spot as in the ad.

like, my first car was a BMW that had been in a feild for a few years, it wasn't as rough as this thing. damn

Finally test drove that MR2. Here were it's problems

1) seat belts would not click into place
2) water was leaking in from the torn top, despite seller's assurances to the contrary
3) No clutch left, or not much, I stalled it so many times
4) sounded like a lawnmower at low RPMS
5) the entire body was painted, terribly, it used to be red.
6) windsheild crack
7) Something is up with the engine because it seemed so weak?
8) Just random wires everywhere that weren't hooked up, like the O2 Sensor

pretty sure everyone selling an MR2 on craigslist is like a flakey m-f-er. do I wish to join their ranks?

ever since getting my Honda back I'm like "I'm fine" now. it's such a great little car. I don't think I really need a second one now.

MR2 Man finally texted me his address so I can go check out this busted ass MR2. I don't know why I'm doing this, it's a 30 minute drive, I'm cutting into BBQ time for this, and the only reason I'll get it is if he sells it to me for ~$1800 under asking price because it needs a new convertable top, wheels, and a transmission rebuild.

I could always change my mind before I go, i guess.

there's just lines that the english dub *throws in there* like it's adding flavor to the thing but none of them really land.

So the DVD had a Japanese audio track but you couldn't enable it via the PS menu, you had to do it via the setup menu in the DVD itself. So. maybe I'll watch Princess Mononoke again sometime, properly.

The best part of the english dub is Gillian Anderson, the rest is pretty bad, as well as the script.

Watching Princess Mononoke, apparently there isn't a Japanese audio track, just the english dub, on this DVD, which is disappointing.

me: it's friday night
anxiety: TIME TO D-D-DUEL
me: whyyyy
anxiety: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

so i got a transmission rebuild estimate of $2800 for this mr2. maybe ill ask $2k for the car, since theres no way anyone else is gonna get it. $5k for a 2zz mr2 would be a good deal, i think

i g

I wonder if there's like some kinda ritual I can do to cleanse my puch of whatever's ailing it so it rips again.

I think I'll see Princess Mononoke next, but I should probably watch Totoro at some point, and Kiki's delivery service

Castle in the Sky was really good! I got some real Ico/Last Guardian vibes out of the castle.

[Me reading/playing/watching any media with anthropamorphic animals in it] Jeez why does every writer hate rats?

working on mopeds has ruined me, why is a transmission rebuild kit for this like $500? why do transmissions cost so much?? why am I doing this?????
