- listen to music you like at volumes that would wake the dead.
- put on the swingle singers and sing all the soprano parts; even the notes that you haven’t been able to reach since you were 18, in the choir, and before your pristine throat had ever been sullied by self-inflicted smoke.
- dance (safely) to that daft punk album you’re currently addicted to. bop your head, wiggle your shoulders, shift your butt from side to side in your seat, or do any combination of the three. it doesn’t matter how ridiculous you look; you’re going at 70 miles an hour so even if someone is looking at you instead of the road in front of them, they’re not going to get time to remember your face. especially when you’re nodding your head like it’s about to fall off your neck.
- learn german.
- get into the (apparently) american road trip tradition of audiobooks. (thanks, zoe!)
- giggle at the genius of douglas adams via the genius of stephen fry.
- count roadkill.

- @tymmothy you’d think so, right? the deer (whole, lying on its side, the poor dead thing) and the burning car were the most disconcerting. #
- a&w isn’t as good as i remember from childhood. that is all. #
