Musings from the Mundane: Fast Cars and Fast Women

In reality; much of the Former, but none of the latter.

This weekend was the 50th Annual Portland Roadster Show. Naturally, I went with my dad. Everytime I go to the show or a cruise in or rod run, makes me want to dole out some cash for an old clunker and spend some time in the garage.

Also, went and saw work my friends are doing on their house. To put it mildly (and remember construction is part of my livelihood), I underestimated what they had described to me last summer when I had a chance to visit (briefly). Ummm, the joke could be in asking if there was a house on that lot to begin with. I jest, it is very cool and am excited to see the turn out (specially after living in an eternal construction zone, I have an inkling of what that might feel like).

End of the night, my sisters' place to put the registration on one of their cars. This seems like a silly statement, but the cover on the licence plate ended up taking a jury rigged wrench to get off in order to put the sticker in its rightful place.

Oh, they had a small Oscars gathering. Movies I saw that won something this year: Walk the Line, Wallace and Gromit, and March of the Penguins (surprisingly for someone who enjoys movies...thats it). Did I win the Oscar picks competition this year.....shockingly no, having seen none of the nominated films.....

Who knows, maybe this year I'll venture forth and see the Hollywood "great" movies.......
