The way the people selling stuff on ebay and respond to questions remind me of the way people in Stephen King novels speak.They're all wisecracking movie archetypes hawking their cheap wares with such a lack of shame that it would make a real auctioneer blush. Do these people have any idea what they sound like? Why do all the Stephen King characters sound like bad movies who sound like people on ebay? Is it a case of movies imitating mr. King imitating the scum of the earth in some kind of vicious cycle in much the same way that art imitates life and vice versa? Did i miss a memo somewhere along the line?
p.s. i am ashamed to have finished The Stand
In any case i'm buying a bike on ebay and as much as i'd like to get a featherweight dual sport that eats lightning and craps thunder i'm most likely going to end up with something lackluster for the 1000 something i'm willing to spend. It wouldn't be an adventure without the almost certain prospect of breaking down in a desert and getting fleeced by some swarthy mechanic named bubba who claims to have just the right part for the fix. Good times.
Exams are approaching at breakneck speed and i suppose i'm braced for the whiplash better than i was last time. It's more of a personal thing this time around. The first exams kicked my ass in much the same way Mr.T punched out a lazy and out of shape Rocky in the second movie of that quintology (or whatever the word is for 5 of something ). i won't just take that sitting down even though i probably will have to take a seat come test time. This is my glorious comeback.
