David Sedaris ~Ashes~

I thought I had posted this before, but I must have done something wrong.

I enjoyed reading the essay by David. When I was reading the essay I thought he came across as sarcastic and his sense of humor at times was dry. It seemed his whole family was the same way by the way he described and quoted them. I found the essay humorous by his choices of words and quotes.

I could not find this particular essay online, so I googled and listened to a few others. After listening to his voice, he seemed to sound a bit like Woody Allan, it only changed my impression a little. He doesn't seem quite as sarcastic as on text, but still had a dry sense of humor. He came across as a little geeky also, but I found him to be more homorous on audio.

There's not a whole lot of difference between his essay and audio. I think alot of that has to do with how he chose to write his essay. Text is harder to pick up voice inflections and sometimes attitude. I think his essay was very well written and he did well to keep it close to his own personality.

My car is falling apart

A few months ago my friend Casey borrowed my car to run some errands. Shortly after she left she called me and informed that while she was driving down the road the rear-view mirror and dome light cover fell off and scared her. It's not the first time the mirror fell off and the dome cover was already broken from my kids. We laughed about it scaring her and she let me know on her way home she would pick up some glue to fix it.
Another incident happened to me recently on my way to Edison. After leaving a light I about jumped out of my skin when my whole steering wheel, horn and all, fell into my lap. The wires were still attached to the steering wheel, so I had no choice but to try to put it back on. I'm sure at the next stop light I may have ticked a few people off when I was trying to get the cover back on and my horn kept blowing when I would try to pop it into place. Needless to say, everytime I left a stoplight it fell back off and I had to try to put it back on at every stop.
Once I left my windows rolled down while I was at Edison it cooled off the interior of my car enough that the cover stayed on.
