Snow day

A winter storm came in this morning and as such, I have taken a snow day. We’re up to at least 6″ right now and the roads aren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I knew I could get to work, but getting home was more of my concern. It’s supposed to turn into freezing rain so we may be in store for a solid layer of ice. Tomorrow morning could be rough.

What a week!

Work is busy as hell, the shit coming in is more than we can handle.

I got an LG Voyager for a great price and a week early. Short impressions: it rules.

Burnout Paradise comes out next week! Left 4 Dead has been delayed to fucking OCTOBER!

I got a new Pioneer head unit to directly connect my Zen. The CD changer is going into the garbage and the rest of the equipment is going to be moved around. That gets done on Tuesday.

3 shows (or so) into Korns’ world tour, Munky has taken a leave. Apparently a family member (his father from what I’ve heard) is very sick. So he’s back in the states for however long he needs. Take the time you need James, come back strong and healthy.

Dad continues to make progress. He’s walking better, his rehab is hard work but it looks like he’s on track to play golf in March.

Dad’s home

After some melodrama to get him out of the hospital (read: stupid, lazy, unorganized, clueless people and one of the busiest cities in the world) he’s home. He’s like a wounded duck, got a long road of recover ahead of him still. Worked his ass off to get out of the hospital in 6 days so now his environment is much better at least. Should be a a month before he’s really mobile.

So yeah, the left windshield wiper arm is bent and I gotta get a new one. Gonna be like 80 bucks, I fucking suck.

Stormin

Looks like this North Easter grazed us, more rain than anything though it’s about 32 outside. I think I broke my fucking windshield wipers (again). They won’t move. I knew I shouldn’t have touched them but I did anyway. Snow got underneith the starting position and threw it all out of wack.

My car isn’t broken

Which is great. Got the 45k service done, thankfully the weird front left tire noise went away in 24 hours and Toyota didn’t find anything wrong. So it was smooth sailing through there. Christmas shopping is almost done. Bless the Internet for that.

Dad’s birthday just passed, his surgery is in a week…that’s the big event this month.
