bought an ‘05 mini cooper in late 2004. simply adore the thing. the handling is like that of a go kart, it’s sturdily built and, it can be parallel parked in spaces literally less than 6” longer than the car. a word to the wise though, buy one with a manual gearbox. the mileage tanks with an automatic gearbox but, i get well over 40 mpg with the 5-speed.

keep it simple. don’t try crazy diets or buy ‘miracle weight loss drugs’ or middle-of-the-night-advertisement exercising devices. i found that just removing excess fats and unnecessary sugars from my diet, along with daily or near-daily exercise, worked for me.
piercings are tacky
18 months ago
having had my septum piercing botched twice, i decided to give up on all piercings. not only that but, i had an epiphany and now find that piercings are tacky and not for me.
