Burnout Paradise and my new Pioneer radio installed in my car. Both rule and the new episode of N/T might have been the best of the season so far.
Logan and Verizon Wireless
If you call Verizon and get to talk to a dude named Logan, congrats. He fucking rules.
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.
Top Gear, season 10
The greatest series ever. Just finished watching the last 2 episodes, just brilliant. Episode 9 might need to win awards it was so amazing. Who the hell is Stig?
Happy New Year!
2008, let’s make it a great year.
Aptera’s Car of the future
Which could be coming out very soon for around 30k USD!
This thing rules. 120 mile range for the all electric and 300 MPG for the hybrid!
A bump in the road to recovery
Dad had a set back yesterday, he had a blood clot develop in his leg. I’ve been told it’s pretty common and thankfully dad’s is minor and was caught early so no real harm is done. He needs to stay at the hospital until Monday to make sure everything is under control, but he’ll be back on track in quick order.
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.
Surgery part 2
It’s been a long day but dad’s surgery went well. Took the Dr. a bit longer than normal but it went as well as it could. Dad opted to get the spinal anesthesia, it’s easier to recoup from it than the standard IV. We left at about 230 to beat traffic, dad was still in the recovery room waiting for a room in the hospital to free up. He’ll be on his feet tomorrow, which is a lot sooner than I ever thought. I expect him to come home on saturday, sunday by the latest.
Surgery tomorrow!
Dad is due at the hospital at 6:30 am! On the table at 8:15. That means we gotta leave here at 5:30. So I got about 6 hours of sleep if I pass out now. Shouldn’t be too bad…to be honest I’m psyched it isn’t me this time. So it shouldn’t be too bad for metomorrow.
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.
