A Secretly Fun City

A lot has happened since I last wrote. Ive finally managed to get the heck out of Ann Arbor, which, as lovely as it is, was driving me bonkers. I went to China (again). My parents have returned to the US of A, which means no more China for me anytime soon. Sadness.

I've made some strange major life decisions.

I went to a party.

I made bread from scratch.

Ive also decided that as much as I love and covet the 76 Pontiac Trans Am, I find the 63 Corvette Stingray to be justslightly sexier.

Anyway, the Bearded Man and I went down to Pittsburgh for a final hurrah before we peaced the heck out of the Midwest. People (coworkers) talk a fair amount of smack about Pittsburgh and cant seem to see why I would want to go there. Honestly, its a gas. Ive always had a great time there, ate some amazing food, and really enjoyed the city. Ive also pretty much never taken photos there because I'm having too good of a time. They should change their city slogan to "Pittsburgh: Way More Fun Than You Thought".

This most recent trip was at the very beginning of August. It was super hot.
We met up with A&A, who, as Ive mentioned before, might be the best people Ive ever met.
Ever.

We also spontaneously went to a classic car show.

I really should have been born a boy. Not that I'm complaining, mind, but I like cars and tools and building things and dirt and stuff...

Yeah. Ugh.

Anyway, I loved some of the more unusual hood ornaments- I think the ram might be my favorite. Sorry I didn't note exactly the year and make of each car, I was distracted by the shiny glittering lights...









This car was particularly awesome..
It was, I believe a 1939 Dusenberg, and was built entirely by hand by the guy who brought it to the show (Homeboy was rather elderly at this stage, but still so proud of this awesome car) .
Apparently if you wanted one, you just ordered the set of specs and fabricated everything yourself.
Baller.
















That's it for now. More fun still to come. Maybe more posts, who knows? Id like to make something of this little slice of technology, but its impossible to do everything.

If anyone has a old crappy Trans Am sitting in their garage or backyard or something that they want to give me, hit me up. Ill bake you a pie.
