The Chronicles of Wrennie: Road Trip USA, part the first. 8/6/05

This is a landmark post, ladies and gentlemen. For the first time in the history of Poetic Instability Lite, I am blogging from my car. And to make you all stop worrying, two points.

1) OF COURSE I’M NOT DRIVING. Geez.

2) I am, however, using Word.

I really thought today would be hell. In the first mile of our trip we ran into a terrible accident that blocked off most of an intersection, and I spent the 1^st 100 miles convinced this was an omen.

However, the good Karma caused by actually taking care of my car must have offset this, because we’ve barely even had asshole drivers. Oh, I said it. The trip to Wisconsin has so far been pleasant. =O I even had a civil conversation with my AUNT.

This has led me to believe that Rain-X is the key to happiness. That’s right. Simply apply with a circular motion to your windshield, and everything will be okay. I also did the interior fog prevention treatment, AND aired my tires.

I am walking on fucking SUNSHINE.

Yes, I’ve had a few sodas. Why do you ask?

::EDIT AFTER DINNER::

Luck has yet to run out. We entered Ohio feeling a bit hungry, and lo and behold- to our right appears the largest and cleanest rest are I have ever seen. It looks like a smaller version of the Ohayocon convention center, and it has a Panera Bread. So I had chicken noodle soup and a nice hot panini for dinner. In a comfy booth. With soft music playing. It was soooo nice.

Most amusing moment of the day?

*gazes out window at the flat, dreary farmland*
“Yeah, this is definitely Ohio.”
*cue iPod selecting Ocarina of Time’s Lon Lon Ranch Theme*

Right at that moment. One out of 4254 songs.

It still makes me giggle.

::EDIT IN HOTEL::
There is a JACUZZI to my right.

Best fucking road trip day ever.
