Enjoy the obligatory birthday selfie; I did remember when I got dressed this morning that for both of the previous birthday selfies I had the same shirt on, and I considered putting that shirt on for the third year in a row and rejected the idea. 48 is entirely too fucking close to fifty for my comfort and I don’t like it one bit. I had to get my drivers license renewed earlier this week and dear god the only way I could look more like a white supremacist in that picture is if I had an actual swastika tattooed on my face. See how I’m clearly holding the camera above my head and looking up? That’s my angle. They made me look down for the DL picture. It did not go well.
Anyway.
We went to Indianapolis today; we went to the IKEA in Fishers and the Lego store, and I fought back against my advanced age by spending entirely too much fucking money for Lego sets that I don’t have anywhere to put once I build them. We’re going to ignore the fact that I can only afford the Goddamn toys I bought today by virtue of being an old person.
Oh, and we found a Tesla overflow lot, completely by accident:
It is genuinely difficult to convey just how much fucking uglier these things are in person. They’re absurdly large, the interior is shit, and the whole thing is so snub-nosed that even if it weren’t designed like a PS1 car brought to life it would still look ridiculous. Also, while I admit I have never once in my life complained about “build quality” on any other vehicle, it took less than a minute of looking at the car in the picture to notice this:
Those pieces of trim are more or less flush on the left and you can get a finger in the gap on the right. It’s not the angle of the picture, I swear. Those are the pieces that keep blowing off of the car at high speeds, too. Also, we got there just after a rainstorm, as you can see, and I’m wondering if anyone has to come over from the dealership to wipe the rainwater off the damn cars so they don’t rust.
Anyway. I’d say “on to 49,” but let’s try surviving through November first.

Happy birthday! I applaud the Lego purchases and look forward to seeing pictures of them once built.
Being able to buy things knowing that I can actually afford them is a definite (and still fairly recent in my world) perk of getting older. Doesn’t matter if it is fun stuff or having to replace two major appliances which failed within weeks of each other.

We bought a Blackstone grill this week, just kind of because we felt like it, and that was a moment, I tell you.

That’s what that car was! I saw one of them on the way here to Illinois! (I hadn’t ever seen a car like that before and didn’t know it was a Tesla vehicle.)

I am genuinely stunned and more than a little envious that you spend any time on the internet at all and didn’t immediately recognize a Cybertruck. Please, teach me your ways. 🙂

Ha, that’s a very good question. I used to be a lot more savvy and up with all things current, but I think it’s simply due to the fact that I work a lot. Other than that, I’m not sure why I have gotten very out of the loop on a lot of things. I’m a typical Virgo and I hate the feeling of FOMO, for sure! LOL

I just realized that a better response would have been “Because I read books, and don’t really pay too much attention to the world outside…” laugh
