The $250 Blog Post

It had been about two weeks since my last post and I was desperately trying to come up with a topic. Well, I’m happy to say that while a few of us were over at Kipp’s last night, a topic worth posting about was born. I decided to leave around 1 am, and made my way to my car, surprised to notice that there was broken glass all around the rear tire.

“Strange”, I thought, since I didn’t remember parking in a big pile of glass. Then I moved my head up a bit and saw that my rear left door window was broken. “Strange”, I thought since I didn’t remember my window being broken when I left the car.

Jason and Cheryl were leaving at the same time, and when it finally hit me, all I could say was, “My car got broken into”. After repeating this a couple times since neither of them would believe me, I took a look inside to see if anything was missing. I’m pretty anal about leaving nothing in plain view for that exact reason, and this time was no different. There was nothing taken - just the broken window.

Busted Window

I decided to walk down the road to see if there were any other cars that suffered the fate I had. Sure enough Todd’s rear left vent window fell victim as well. The glass was still intact, but completely spidered with a small hole visible. It looks like the culprits used a pellet gun as the weapon of choice for their crime spree.

Todd Does Some Damage Control

This morning I called Speedy Glass to get an estimate and make an appointment. It was actually not as expensive as I was thinking it was going to be, but I can definitely think of of better things to do with $250. On the bright side, I finally had something worth posting about.

Film Muser

Since I watch so many movies and am constantly asked, “if I’ve seen anything good lately”, I decided to create a blog where I can post some quick and dirty reviews. I generally watch between three and five movies a week, and I hope to post a review of each of them right after the viewing. This sounds like a big commitment, but I think I can do it.
