Hey howdy hey everyone!
I had a fantastic night last night, and it all started with a trip to WalMart for some scallops. I’d never made scallops before, but I felt like having seafood mac and cheese, and scallops came to mind.
On my drive to WalMart I spotted these two Buick Specials, the blue one being a 38 and the white one being a 39. Both were astonishingly pretty, both were automatics, and both were for sale. The white 39 is 11k, as it says on the poster, but the blue 38 is 25k obo. I don’t have 11k in my wallet, the scallops alone were really expensive, but are these good prices? Also, why is the 38 more valuable than the 39 by over 10k?
EDIT: It’s not a Buick, it’s a LaSalle, which is a bit rarer than your typical Buick Special. On the for sale sign it read Special, but the 25k price tag does sound a bit more Laselle. Thank you Fintail for enlightening me in a way Google Images couldn’t.
I like the look of the 38 better, with its coachbuilt flares, so I guess I have Fisher to thank for that. Thanks Fisher!
I arrived at WalMart and bought some scallops. They were 14 bucks, way more than I was expecting to pay, but oh well. I had all the ingredients at home, so it was worth it.
I decided to take the long route home and ended up at a stop light with a right hand drive, first gen Mazda Miata, a turbocharged Ford Focus RS, and a rusty early 2000s Pontiac Firebird with thick rims and thin tires. In short, I ended up in a street crew (not really, my car wasn’t modded or cool enough, nor did it smell of weed). I followed them for a few stop lights as they did some pulls. The Pontiac was fast off the line and then... not... I think I could’ve taken him on. But that Ford went from fast to really fast really fast!
I always like seeing cool cars on the road, but it’s also cool to see them in action, even if it’s irresponsible and unsafe. Anything goes in Florida.
I get home and get cooking, spending half an hour in the kitchen sauteeing mushrooms in butter, boiling water for pasta, sizzling oil and almost burning my hand on it, and making my world famous cheese sauce (and by world famous, I mean everyone knows that it’s the only thing I know how to make).
Put it all together and voila, seafood mac! It was incredibly delicious, and will be for the next week because we have so much of it left. The scallops and shoorms turned out swell, and I’m quite proud.
In other, more interesting news though, it looks like I’m finally going back on campus. I don’t know why they’re allowing me back, I’m in a degree that works entirely online, and the school announced that I would be until the end of the year. But apparently I’m back. I can still decide to... well... not go. I have one lecture every week, and the school is very flexible with people remaining online if they choose (which I might. The whole point of going back to campus would be to see people and interact in person, but if that doesn’t happen then switching online may be a better bet). I have some decisions to make in the coming days I suppose.
What are you all making eating for dinner tonight? I think my roommates girlfriend’s mom is buying us chinese food to celebrate us moving a bunch of furniture from one apartment to another.
