ok, so i'm a little behind. the shindig thurs night went well. good times, good snacks. of course, julie didn't want to leave the part once it came time to leave (like i didn't see that coming), so we wound up staying for the whole thing and i was suppose to help her move out after i got out of work friday night. (backstory: for the past week or so my bimmer has been...well so the gauge would have you believe, overheating. the gauge has been wonky since pop had the car though; but lately it'd been kinda staying in the warmer zone rather than just flopping around like usual.) so, friday night on the drive to m'boro i decided to stop at my place to put some water in the radiator cause it looked a wee low the other night. well i'd tried to put water in before i left work but i couldn't get the cap off. hurt my hand a bit in the process. so i get to my apt and it's crowded as fuck, i hurt my hand more, can't the get cap off. bleh. so i call julie and tell her i can't come to help her. unless i drive the subaru. so she gets someone else to help her and i finally get the cap off and get some more water in there. didn't drive it any though. saturday i go out to work on it a bit (after talking to pop of course). there wasn't any air in the radiator (good thing) and the oil seemed fine. i start it up and it makes a bit of a pecking sound. *sigh* i get some wd40 and spray it on the shaft that comes out of the engine and turns the fan blade. that seems to make it go away. so hopefully i've not blowed up another engine. after that i play the computer for a bit and doug and william show up. william had concocted dinner plans with abby and carl so we eat at the florida seafood kitchen and go back to abby/carl's for some banana pudding. then...the buffy. we stayed up till 4am sat night/sun morn watching buffy. haha, sunday morning doug said he'd woken up 6 or 7 times during the 'night' and evertime he had awoken from a buffy dream. got'em hook, line, and sinker. so sunday we watch one episode, eat lunch at sitar, watch many more episodes, eat supper at camino real super quick, and finally finish up at about 11pm sun night. the weekend went _way_ too quick in this fashion. i woke up this morning and just...bleh. i really wanted to call in sick and just see about getting my car worked on. but i figured no one could work on it today and i might have to pull some weird shit on friday cause richard is coming back in town for the week and i may have to take him to the airport friday morning. and i may be on jury duty. won't know till i make the call tonight. blah. too much stuff. just want to play on computer. apparently no one else at work wants to work this week either. richard (work) will be out tomorrow, sharon had a dr's appointment today, dana went home around 11 saying she was sick.
oh, and pop got a job teaching at kittrell in readyville. he's teaching prealgebra and algebra to 7th and 8th graders. hopefully he'll be happier there. he'll be making 6-8k more year there, which never hurts. unless it puts you in another tax bracket, which pretty much happened with my current job. i think.
julie will be moving into her dorm this friday. she'll go back to having a roommate. .... her name is brittney. that's about all we know. she's tried calling her to figure out what exactly she should and shouldn't bring but julie's not heard back from her yet. guess it'll be a surprise. : /
