Finals are over for Summer school! YAY! Now I can just sleep all day! Well, no, I guess I should go find a job now that I can work full time. Well, then again, even during summer school I was looking for a job with no success.

FIRE!
The most odd thing happened to us yesterday. There was a fire at our house. Well, not a huge raging fire, but a small BBQ fire coming from the neighbor’s house. It turned out they had left some still hot charcoal on the ground at the side of our houses. Theres alot of dry leaves and stuff at the side of the house which let the charcoal slow burn. It burned part of our fence! We found it odd that our house smelled like fire for two days. But, when we went out side in the back yard to see if any of the nearby houses were set on fire, we came up with nothing. It wasn’t until a neighbor come to our house to tell us our fence was on fire that we knew the source of the smell. He tried to blame it on the fact that it was hot and the trees and bushes wasn’t watered. Um, no, dumbass. It’s because of the damn charcoal. Who ever left the charcoal out there hot has to be the biggest dumb ass! Luckly, we found the fire in time so nothing more than the fence had burned down.
On a completely different note, Li’l C got to a whopping 111k miles this weekend! I think it’s time for a new engine. After all the repairs I’ve done to her already, much more is needed.

Li’l C. Caught A Virus. :(
Hrm, as I was parking in front of Pam’s house, Li’l C was making weird noises, but only in reverse. She sounds fine going forward, just not as I back out. I dunno. I guess I bring her in again sometime soon. Damn, I was really lazy today. I was supposed to fix all the little stuff on the car I am able to fix like the fuel filter, change the oil, etc. But, the mail order show didn’t send me the second back order box that was supposed to come, so I wouldn’t be able to do all the things I wanted to do anyway.
Hockey Ache
Tonight, our team just made our record 0-5 š I managed to score 2 goals. The first one was on a nice cut and shoot. The next was on the rebound, goalie spawled out from the first shot, I had a nice wide open shot. After my goals it was 2-1. After 3 periods, the game ended 3-2. What an upset, I really tasted the win… up until the point in the 3rd period where I skated hard and fast to the puck trying to get my “hat trick” when I slammed my whole right side into the boards. I still ache while I write this. My hip, elbow and my back just to the right of my spine hurts. I hope it’s nothing serious. We’ll get them next time. Wish us luck next week where we take on the Desert Dogs the 3rd place team with a record of 3-1, oh yeah well get ready for a 3-2 record!!! Or something else cause the standings on the page wasn’t changed to reflect tonight’s games.
Li’l C’s Return Home
She’s back! YAY! Her rear-end had some work but she’s all better now. But, I think under the hood needs a little work, she overheats when all the fluids leak. Maybe I can take some time out of my busy schedule of sleeping and watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to help her out. Too much money spent getting her fixed up, but well worth it!
On a similar subject, Mercedes has hit yet another low. Several years ago with the release of their “C” class was one of their biggest idiot-brained idea. It’s one thing to make a lower class, but to market it as the “affordable” Mercedes is another. When I think Mercedes, I don’t want to think, oh “affordable.” Sure, it’s still out of my budget and it’s expensive as the “affordable” (or not affordable so as the case may be) BMW, but at least BMW didn’t have that lamer marketing scheme. On to the lowest point of Mercedes history, the “C” Coupe. What am I ranting about? IT’S $25,600! Who the hell buys a Mercedes for under $26 and walk around with their head high? Are these the people who buy store name brand products and put them in real name brand boxes to fool their friends? Sorry, if I offended anyone, but, come on $26k for an Import “Luxury” car? It’s just wrong. My opinion? Use that money to buy the top of the line Celica or S2000, at least you’ll feel like you got a deal when you leave the lot, instead of feeling like you bent over for the dealer.
Life.
Last Friday I think I had a little too much. Went to a party an old bud from High School threw in San Francisco. I do not want to ever have to drive around San Francisco if I’m not with someone who knows where to go. It’s a big pain in the ass. A little late I found out it was a theme party, which was “the afterlife.” Interesting what people dressed up as. I dressed up as a dorky computer nerd who died at his monitor. Stupid, huh? I think I was the only one not wearing black… I guess I was also the only one going to Heaven…
The next day I attended a barbeque for another old High School bud. Damn, so many High School friends in one week! The theme of this get-together was “Hawaiian.” Once again I fail to get word that it was themed. I went home somewhere in the middle of it to change into my Hawaiian shirt moO gave me a while back that she got from Hawaii. I always give her a hard time, because one time we were browsing through Miller’s Outpost and saw one very close to the one she gave me. So, I was like, so you really got this in Hawaii, eh? how about a Miller’s Outpost in Hawaii. Heh, I don’t think she liked that remark…
Looking and looking for a job is the hardest thing to do nowadays, now that so many people are unemployed. Businesses have a huge market to pick from, why would anyone want me? I guess I’ll go back to my being unemployed and play Counter Strike.
Ice Hockey At It’s Worst
Thursday Schedule Club Night (Beg.) Great… The 3-0 team vs. the 0-3 team, this is gonna be fun. Pre-season I thought we had a really good team going. I guess the other teams are that much better. I guess we have to get a little more organized. And I gotta run more for better and longer stamina. Come and watch if ya wanna. Directions are at the website. I’m #6. Watch me fall on my ass then point and laugh. It’s ok, I’m used to it.
Down With Pacbell!
Damn Pacbell again. First it’s taking 6+ months to get the darn thing installed in the first place, now i’m getting mucho downtime. WTF? For two days it was on and off, then down completely for a whole day, it wasn’t until yesterday it wen’t back up. Damn them. I want my $4 worth of down time back! j/k It isn’t worth my breath to whine about downtime. now, if I were selling stuff online and actually needed the ISP, then I’d be REALLY pissed about lost income PLUS downtime. Then again what do they care about customers? If i cancel, where else am I going to go, plus they wouldn’t be hurt if one measly customer was pissed and cancelled. There’s so many DSL subscribers, what’s one canceled? Nada. This is the reason I haven’t been able to post lately, yeah that’s it, blame it on downtime…
So, the new LONG awaited “Star Trek” type series, “Enterprise”, is starting up soon. September 26th to be exact. I personally can’t wait for the hyped show, it better be good. I’m not too into hype crap; but this one might, and I say MIGHT, be an exception. I hope my instincts are right. I seriously don’t want another DS9, which wasn’t a horable series, just not that good. Anyone noticed that Scott Bakula is the capitain on “Enterprise?” I think that’s cool, he’s a really good actor, IMO. I really liked his work on “Quantam Leap” as “Sam.” I’m sure his acting shall live up to his old series, I hope. Then again I haven’t seen him do much since then…
Today, I finally replaced my lost cell phone, damn my crap memory. Hope, I find it. Then again, what do I need another phone for? Then just feel stupid for buying a phone. So, if anyone called me recently and didn’t leave me a message and found that I didn’t pick up or didn’t return your call, I’m sorry, that’s the reason. For some reason I picked up a non-Nokia phone. Yes, yes, I know. Adam is a BIG nokia promoter. Oh well. I picked up a Panasonic Promax just becausemy dear friend, Carrie, recommended it. Then again she DID say she’d buy another Nokia 8260…
Note 4 moO.
“It’s moO’s way or the highwaaaaaaayyyy!”
Li’l C Needs A Bath
Today I moved my babie to a different shop. $3k for one job seems like alot. Hell, $3k could have bought me my body kit and a nice paint job or even a supercharger!… or I could have paid some of my bills nicely. The new shop I brought it to today is some small Vietnamese gas station, but he said they were ripping me off for the $3k, I’d think so too. According to my calculations, if I add up all the things they told me to fix it would only be, at most 1800! I still want to do the work myself, but then I wouldn’t be able to work or do homework, so it’s high priced opportunity cost.
Aw, seems that imood.com is having some problems. Maybe just a server move.
