saturday june 7

today i was driving along oxford street when i glanced in my rear-view mirror and noticed that the view looked unusually blurry. thinking i may have just hit a bump in the road or something, i quickly looked again, and sure enough, the cars in the mirror didn't seem nearly as clear as normal. recognizing that i was not, in fact, drunk, i immediately began to worry that my eyesight, one of my prides and joys, had started to fail me and that within months, or even weeks, i'd probably need to start wearing glasses. as i studied the rear-view mirror further though, i realized that it was only blurry about half the time, at which point i realized that the root of the problem was the extraordinarily loud bass of the t.i. song i was currently listening to, which, with the windows down, i hadn't realized was shaking the entire car violently.
