wash
A few days ago, my dad and I went through the car wash in Fairlawn (and it’s been a long time since I’ve gone through because washing your car has been a big no no in Georgia, obviously). Anyway, I decided to film it so that I could try to put a video up on youtube with my new computer. The first take was bad because I wasn’t holding my hands still enough, and the jeep was jittering around. But by some strange grace from the god of revision, the car wash broke at the very end and the soap didn’t get watered off–so we got to go back through.
Either youtube is excessively slow, or the files I’m trying to upload from imovie are extremely large. The latter is more likely the case because it took forever to upload this silly little experiment.
The song that is playing is Steve Earle’s “Fort Worth Blues.” One of my favorites.

jess, i went through a car wash the other day and wanted to take pics but didn’t have my camera. we are definitely on the same wave length. i have a good car wash story for you. also, it’s one of my fav things to do. it kind of transports me in this weird way, going through one.

jess, this video almost made me cry. it really captures what car washes do for me in that beautiful motion of the cloth thingies. and the music is perfect. really nice, beautiful.

i love car washes too. it’s like a meditation. and the smell is also so cleansing.

it is precisely like meditation. except it’s shorter and my legs don’t cramp.
