Blarg… cleaned the car. I’m starting to wonder just what happened to that car over the past few years. There are the most random stains and weird little things in there. I don’t know, nor do I care really. I gave it a good scub down, and the cleaners made my head spin. I also dumped some “dry gas” into the gas tank. Its supposed to help with fuel injection and starting. Personally I’d like to know whats in that stuff. It has no odor, no color and doesn’t stain (I know this only because I spilled some). Can it really be good for your engine? Whatever. I also got the insurrance check today. It’ll go towards living expenses in the fall since I don’t need to use it to buy a car. I do plan to put a slightly nicer stereo in it though. Nothing extreme, no amps or anything, just a cd player or something. Later.

Well, today I’ve got the day off… YAH!!! So, most of it will probably be spent cleaning out the car. Oh, I was bored last night and made an Amazon.com wish list. I figure some of my relatives start their x-mas shopping early so I might as well give’em a leg up. If you get bored and want to browse it, you can click here. I think that link will work, I dunno, Amazon has some funky links going on. Whatever. Anyway, I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday, so I think I’m going to go find some food. I also think I’ve identified my problem… At school, I’m almost never “bored” completely and so I (or atleast my mind) always has something to do. So, in turn, I never really think about being hungry or eating. Here however, since I’m bored at home, bored at work and bored in general, I actually “think” about whether I’m hungry or not. And, being a guy, of course the answer is yes. Its like asking me if I’m tired. Well, duh, of course I am, I’m always tired, it just depends on how tired I am and if I’m letting it get to me. Anyway, I diagress, I’m going to try and not think about my hunger, that way I won’t eat to much and I won’t put back on those “college” pounds. Wow, that entire thought process sounds completely vain. Damn, ok, on to better topics. Chris was saying how today he should get his new GeForce 3, so tonight he’ll be hooking that bad boy up to the new flat pannel he got on Friday. This should be very impressive. I’m probably going to want one now which isn’t a good thing. That whole money issue. Ok, I’m going to go find something to do. I’ll be back. Later.

Well, didn’t get a call back from Chip tonight, so I hung around here and watched Office Space. I must say, the more I watch that movie, the more I like it. Originally I thought it was only “alright” but I think it’s grown on me. Tomorrow I’ll probably go register the new car and work on cleaning it from head to toe. It needs it. I think Josh’s sister needed help with her computer at some point as well, as a service to her brother I’ll probably end up giving her a hand. Other than that I get to relax a little. I’ll probably read a little, think about Lauren, play a game or two, think about Lauren, have a nice dinner, think about Lauren, and maybe think about Lauren if I have time. Hehehe, ok, I know, I’m sappy. I don’t care, I miss her. Ok, I’m going to head off to bed since I’m tired as hell, I haven’t gotten much sleep in the past few days. I got in late the other night, couldn’t sleep last night and probably won’t be able to sleep tonight either. May as well try. Night kids. Later.

Well, today was work again. Sundays are always odd, I don’t quite know why. I think its because it doesn’t really feel like a real work day. The store is only open from 11-6. At any rate, Brent and I made the most of it by being completely off the wall and joking with each other and customers almost all day. It was very funny. At one point Brent started prank calling the other stores in the area asking for completely random stuff and asking them to hold it and he would be right there to pick it up. The only store that “caught on” was Salem so when they called back thinking it was us I answered the phone and told them that Brent wasn’t there. They asked for him directly which tells me that Brent does this sort of thing often when he’s bored. Anyways, it was good, clean, inter-store fun. The rest of the day was fairly normal and I got home around 6:30. I’m not sure what I’m doing tonight, Chip had called and asked if I was interested in doing something so I’ll probably hang-out with him. Also, you probably won’t see this until later, there was a message on the server at Blogger saying that they’re upgrading servers and they’ll be back up later today. Later.

Well, last night was fairly interesting. Both Chris and Chip had called, looking to do something, but I had decided to just hang around here and throw in a DVD. Chris didn’t like that answer and came over and dragged me out anyway. Apparently he had been over at a friends house, getting together with an old group of buddies and they had decided that they wanted to do something. Jeff was also called at some point and so around 8:30 he and Chris stopped by to drag me out. We then met up with Chris’ group of friends, Chris D, Josh, Katie and Tess, most of who I didn’t know with the exception of Teressa who I slightly know. They then wanted to meet Josh in Nashua at Tweeter where he works. After getting him we headed off towards Boston, with Chris D driving one car and Jeff struggling to keep up. We wound our way down to Boston and eventually to Avalon. We got there sometime around 11 and headed in. The house DJ was the same (?) that Chris and I had seen when we went down to see Darren Emerson 2 weeks ago. Only this time he was actually good. After him Jonathan Peters took over and I must say I was very impressed. About half way through, Tess didn’t feel so good, so we sat with her for a while until she was ready to dance a little more. Then her and Katie went off and we didn’t see them until the second to last song. We had a good time, dancing and such, then the whole group wound up near each other on the dance floor for the last song. It was very cool. I’m glad I went out and did something last night instead of sitting around like a party pooper. After that it was the long drive home and I didn’t get in until 4 because we did what Chris and I always do and missed an exit on the highway, usually ending up near the seacoast. So I’m just a little tired and don’t really feel like working today. Oh well. Fun has to have it’s price I suppose. I really can’t wait till next Friday when Chris and I are going to see Paul Van Dyk, master of all that is techno. That should be awesome.
Ohh, ohh, on a separate but equally as cool note, my roommate Pete was able to get a hold of two tickets for Ani Difranco for me. A big thanks goes out to Pete. It also seems that he won a radio contest and now has two more tickets. Guess he’ll have to work on finding a date. Can’t wait for that show, it should be great. Ok, I’m heading off to work. Later.
Current mood: Happy and tired (but for good reason)

Well, thanks go to Mike for pointing out that I forgot to update the links. Now, both “Main” and “Archive” should be working. I also added Tia’s button to the links. Thanks for the link back Tia! Sorry it took so long to get your button up. Anyway, today I received the “new” (new to me) car. It’s a 1990 Oldsmobile 88. It need a good cleaning but is in otherwise good shape. I’ll get it registered on Monday so I can start taking it to work. Well, I hate to keep this short but theres a thunderstorm coming and I don’t want to leave my system on. Later.
