-20. The car won't start. Even after being plugged in for two hours. Last night the TV broke -- Sheryl zapped it dead with her static electricity trying to plug in the S-Video, so we ran out and bought a new one . . . and I love it more than I should, given my near disinterest in material shit.
But anyway, about the car. I whined about it on Facebook and my mom tells me to tighten the battery cables and pour Heet into the gas tank, and her would-be solution cracked me up. BECAUSE THE COLD WEATHER LOOSENED THE BATTERY CABLES AND BECAUSE WE WANT TO WALK TO THE GAS STATION IN SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES TO BUY A FUEL ADDITIVE.
