Farmers like them because of this. And there's little chance of it getting stolen, which is a plus. Fiat Pandas may not be sexy, but they can drive over/through anything.

Thanks Leif. For more insight, consider roughplanet.blogspot.com. Tom Parkinson, a prolific yet short-lived LP writer, obviously spent quite some time ruminating about these short but delightful entries. ~Jeremy Great choreography of what it’s all about!

I've been focusing on my own books for the past few years so I've been a little removed from the vicious cycle but the thought of getting back into it makes my stomach uneasy. The fucked up part is that even with my own books, where I can be as detail oriented (or un-oriented) as I like, it's still like leading two different lives. The adventurer and the hermit. I hate being the hermit. You pretty much nailed this shit.

I feel you on this! I have two guidebook manuscripts due this month (one, erm, two days ago, still not done!) and I haven't showered or brushed my teeth all week. Sexy! Haha, ugh. I feel you on this!

(Gods, I've been watching too much "Top Gear" lately, if I can tell the difference between cars that aren't even sold in the US.) Hope you get a 500, though, they're supposed to be the Fiat answer to the Mini and much more fun than the Panda, and would earn you Sexy Points.

And I'm tempted to go back and count exactly how many times you said "sexy" because it's amusing how often it was used! Especially since I apparently can not imagine anyone saying "sexy" in any accent beside the New Zealand one. Well at least your job has sexy parts at all!
