On an off topic, for you women out there, how exactly do you maintain sanitary standards in the public wee-rooms? Do you put TP on the seat, do you use the “hover” trick? If those specially made covers are there, do you use them?
See, I ask because when I went to see AOTC last night (that’s episode II of star wars for those of you who live under large rocks) and had to wee 30 min into the movie. And not just a twinge of “oh dear I’d better go.” More like painful tinges of “Get yourself to the potty.” Dang it. AOTC is constantly in action, so it’s not like there’s a “slow” bit that you can take a break with. So I booked it to the ladies room and because I was in such a hurry, I didn’t put any TP down and didn’t hover. O_O
Dear me.
However, I DID wash my hands. There are lines. :o)
The drive today took 10 hours and was only supposed to take SEVEN. Traffic got icky on the Bronx Expressway and I was toast on the Jersey Turnpike. Jersey also smells funky. Very funky.
Do you know how hard it is to find a decent radio station as you move state to state?
Bzzz. Static. SHRIEKING HIGH PITCHED NOISE. Crackle. Snow. Country. Stupid jingles. Tool! OH! Something good! (By ten pm, I was saying that out loud). THEN…*crackle* *crackle* black and *Crackle, snow, bzzz*
Damn.
I also have to admit that I did something VERY VERY STUPID in Connecticut. I responsibly filled up my gas tank at 200 miles (I tend to try to do that since my fuel guage isn’t reliable). I went into the store and got a six inch subway sub (mmmm, non-greasy) and refilled my water bottle. I walk back out, scrounging in my bag for my…
Keys. Keys that are in the ignition of MY LOCKED CAR.
Can some of you remind me to hit a hardware store and get a spare set made?
I had to call the cops and a nice police officer by the last name of Page unlocked my car in about three seconds. Amazing. I need to learn how to do that. Of course, I’d need a slim jim, and that would be in my trunk, that if the keys were in my car, WOULD BE LOCKED INSIDE.
*insert angry embarassed face here*
Man, Dave told me tonight that Dr. Stahl has terminal cancer. O_O He’s flying up there to say his goodbyes, so next week I get to visit Sara and will see Dave on my way back. If you see Dave around, give him a hug. He needs one.

it is not unsanitary to put your ass on the toilet seat. especially in movie theaters, they actually clean those.
gas stations however…

Grin, after driving thousands of miles myself I sympathize with your radio dillema. I’ve given up on toilet seats. I just sit, I don’t care anymore. In CA they provide toilet seat covers, but nowhere else do they seem to. I figure it probably isn’t worse than the woods!.. Wiping with pine needles is bad… I speak from experience.
