external monologue

a day at the DQ

so i think yesterday was the first weekday that i've missed since i started this crazy photoblog. but then, i did have my hands pretty full. i'm finally back at my parents home in gainesville, FL for the holidays. i had hoped to get home on friday, and then on monday, but there was just too much to do, and then charity martin and i spent monday night cleaning up the house.

so, i got home this evening, and now i'm sitting on the couch watching some late night interview show with william h macy. tv is so weird. i never watch tv in chattanooga - i mean, never. like, i don't ever get the jokes that people make about television commercials. so, whenever i'm at my folk's home and i flip on the television its this really surreal experience. but, i have a hard time turning it off -- kind of in the same way that people slow down on the highway when they drive by a burning vehicle. its disturbing, but i can't look away.

oh - so, the photo is from the dairy queen on the corner of mccallie and central avenue where josiah's truck blew a tire the other day. ben horner, josiah and i spent the afternoon waiting for various trucks from AAA to help us out because the jack for josiah's truck was either missing or broken. the exciting part of the afternoon was that mccallie avenue has recently changed from a one-way street to two way, and all afternoon people were driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic. again, disturbing, but couldn't look away.
