Woman faces death to own Tori Amos CD, film at 10

October 29, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Maybe it’s the fact that we have sunshine for the first time in about two weeks. I dunno, but people are stooopid today. I nearly got hit by about five careening cars in parking lots during lunch, and as I tried to leave Jack in the Box a car full of hyper teenage males decided to do a Chinese fire drill in front of the driveway. I appreciate a well-executed Chinese fire drill as much as the next girl – and these guys did it well – but not when it blocks two lanes of traffic and a driveway!

Oh well. I managed to buy the Tori Amos CD without getting killed. I just wanted you to know that it was a near thing.
