For the last couple days my sister visited from Maine. She actually has spent the couple of months riding her bike all the way across the country with a friend of hers in order to raise money for a bicycle coalition of which she is a member. It's pretty crazy, she has her own blog of the trip at Read more... )

So yesterday I received my biggest tip ever, and it was on a single medium pizza no less. The girl handed me a 50, I said I didn't have change for it so she told me to just keep it. Rich people are cool sometimes. Then today I very nearly ran over a 10 year old kid. I was driving alongside a a side street next to a row of parked cars when out ( Read more... )

Oh my God. The stupid disgusting asshole who has been a plague upon my house for the past several months is moving out RIGHT NOW! As soon as he actually leaves, I think my brain will explode in a fountain of dopamine. And my friend Kris is moving into the empty room on Sunday, so I don't have to worry about that either. Hopefully we will be able to ( Read more... )

Hooray, I got a new(er) car. I found out that I'm no good at trying to lower the price though. I really should have read up on some bargaining techniques beforehand. I suppose it didn't help that I really NEEDED a car immediately, and a couple other good deals were sold just before I inquired about them. It was still a pretty good deal I found on ( Read more... )

Yesterday was pretty crazy. My car had just been acting insane the day before, with the engine overheating no matter what I did to try to stop it. It got worse and worse until it was obvious I could not drive it any more if I wanted to keep living. So yesterday morning I managed to get it to a shop, although I needed a couple stops along the way to ( Read more... )

So me and my friend Kris went to the Sasquatch music festival yesterday, and it was pretty insane. I had never been to the Gorge before, so it was a really cool sight. Looking past the stage into miles and miles of nothing and watching the sun set on the horizon as the last few bands came on was a pretty unique thing ( Read more... )

I seem to be one of those people who plans things forever without actually going through with them. However, today was an action day. I bought a drum set as I've been talking about and put it in the recently cleared area of the garage. Now if I can get the electricity in there working (and maybe a bit of soundproofing) there'll be an opportunity to ( Read more... )

I finally exploded at that fat cockass who lives in the room next to mine. After telling him over a month ago that he was kicked out, I flipped out when he said he didn't even remember the conversation. He pretty much refused to move out, so I'm going to have to get a 30 day notice to vacate. So if he doesn't move out 30 days after that, the cops ( Read more... )

So today I bought an acoustic guitar. I know I said I'd buy drums, but until I create a space in the garage I can't really get them. And before I do that I have other stuff that needs doing, like *cough* homework. It'll be nice to have the acoustic though since I mostly play acoustic songs anyways. ALSO I spent a hundred bucks on the guitar, then ( Read more... )

Holy cow, I am feeling so much better than I was just a couple hours ago. It's really pretty amazing how quickly I'm feeling like myself again. It seems ridiculous that I had to wait so long to get medecine for my strep throat, but I didn't want to go to an emergency room. What's crazier is that this miracle drug that's curing me at the speed of ( Read more... )
