I give up

Wednesday, November 16th: I bring the car home after paying a $2800 repair bill. This morning: I go to use my car for the first time since Wednesday. After starting the engine, I notice a howling sound. It doesn't go away. I decide to try and drive (slowly) to the dealer, but the howling sound becomes a screaming sound if I touch the steering wheel. I turn the car off. The engine has seemingly barfed yellow-green fluid (coolant?) onto the pavement. I go back inside, call the dealership, and speak with the service manager. He agrees to pay for a tow truck.

This post is in case anyone was wondering why I entitled my blog I always win.

Why did you buy such a bad car? If I was buying a car I would buy a good one, not the cheap shitty kind to get a good deal. But that's just me.

Sex Talk with Phyllis Levy

The part of Canada I grew up in (mentioned in a post from February ) was pretty remote. Dealing with my sexuality in such a setting was awful in the 1980s, and I'm sure it's not much easier now. But in 1986 (when I was 16), I had a voice coming through my radio that gave me hope and made me feel slightly less alone. That voice belonged to Phyllis Levy , who hosted a show on WLS 890 out of Chicago called Sex Talk . I could receive WLS fairly reliably at night, despite the fact that Chicago was about 1050 km / 650 miles away (SSE, as the crow flies). It was AM radio, and I would keep it on low volume in my room. Phyllis Levy had the kindest voice, and a great sense of humour. I remember laughing when, discussing penile desensitization (from excessive friction), she exclaimed, "omigod, you guys! Be careful out there !" I would give anything to hear her voice again. I wasn't able to Google up much on her... so Phyllis, this one's for you.

I'm only planning on doing this once. Yep, rouge certainly doesn't tan ! The picture, although not current, is still representative. It's from my trip to Provincetown in 2002. I aspire to the full-on Joey "naked Thursday" concept . As you can see, I've modeled my tits after his. Joey : Yeah, why don't you move in with me? It'll be great! We could stay up late, watch movies... and you know about Naked Thursdays, right? Rachel : Yeah... yeah I think I'm gonna find my own place. Chandler : Hey, hey! I thought Naked Thursday was just our thing, man!
