so, my car lease was up and i decided to just turn it in and not renew or take out another lease since i'm working p/t and hubby is in graduate school and we need to tighten our belts... and i bought a 1994 olds cutlass sierra from a little old lady who only drove it to church and the grocery store (no, seriously). the thing has 15,000 miles on it and it rides great! and the air conditioning works better than my leased car's did. my only complaint... no cd player, only a CASSETTE PLAYER. :D eventually i plan to have a cd player installed, but in the meantime, i dug out my old tapes (yes, i'm THAT old...) and i was rockin' all the way into work to the doors, eric clapton, the who, sheryl crow... and i actually have no code on tape! :p my toddler was especially fond of the doors' love me two times on our way to the sitter's this morning. he was bopping his little blond head all the way there. :)

    My husband and I always play our tapes at home. Anyone who comes over always laughs at us! When we were buying a new computer at Best Buy, I found a machine that you insert your tapes into and then they can be converted onto your pc. I thought that was pretty cool.
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    I have a bunch of cassette tapes in a box. I think eventually I'm going to throw them out. I'm sure that they are so old that if I try playing them, they they will fuck up and all the tape will come out of them.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I have a tape my grandpa made for me where the music as best as I can trace it is from the 40's to early 50's..........I forget the artists name......

    I need a new tape deck for my stereo though.............Or i could just get my current one repaired but it may be cheaper to just buy a new one.............

    I've been messing about with my brother's old reel to reel tape machine he got before I was even born. The tapes are real period pieces, recorded in the family home in around 1969. My dad was a noisy old fucker, even then! :D
