Mystery of the missing dipstick

I did good adult things today. Like had the oil in my car changed. And the transmission fluid.

I wish i could say i did it myself, but i didn't.

Did you know there are two ways of changing your transmission fluid? there's sucking out 100% (bonus points to those of you who now have sonic youth in your head) of it , and putting all new fluid in for 69.95. and then there's removing about 30% (and just how do they gauge that anyway?!?!) but they replace filters and sifters and leprechans and that whole rought.

also, interestingly enough....69.95.

together 'tho, it's a deal. 139.95

I just said to suck it. Honest. i did.

i didn't think about what i said, i just said it. and then i felt kinda bad afterwards as i read the US Weekly and read all about those survivor kids in the waiting room.

did anyone see that?

man....that sue deserved a punch in the face. i'm sorry, but i would have given that kelly girl a couple of thousand dollars just for not spitting on that poor excuse for a woman.

uh...anyways....so i got to work later in the day and took a look at the jiffy print out thing, and it said my oil dipstick is missing!

Missing!

i haven't actually looked under my hood yet....but how does one just flat out loose a dipstick? i mean i have the whole ritual. Pull it out, wipe it off, put it back in, take it back out, do the hokey pokey, check the level, put it back in.

very strange.

Saw Marc N. last night at the invited dress rehearsal for Timon. He brought Bob M. I am a fan of Bob M. i think i may have scared him because while we were all talking, i asked him a question about a show that he did with Jean Mecca Normal (see the older entry 'it's all in the accessories' from July 7 for more info on said show), and bob said 'how random!! you were at that show?' and then asked if i was a mecca normal fan, and i said well, actually, i'm a big fan of telegraph melts'...and he about jumped out of his skin.

I felt bad, but then he petted my sweater, so it was alllllllllllllllriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. boy, that sweater was a wise investment.

uh, i'm just kidding. well, not really. i do like it. and other people like it.

Also, if anyone out there has any idea on how to control your dreams, lemme know. because boy oh boy, would i love to stop the endless parade of 'Beth B's least finest moments of a life time'. it's pretty...uh....hm. not gruesome, but not affirming, shall we say, when your mind keeps playing for you, over and over, asking a boy to dance in 7th grade and he laughs at you; or falling off a swingset you weren't supposed to be playing on into a mud pit or....ahhh, skip it. you weren't there and i wish i weren't either.

Oh, and keep your eyes out for a lone dipstick. 'K? Thanks, you're the best.

*smooch*
