Alabama recount
Okay...so... i've got nothing to do right now.
I'm currently waiting on my RAM to arrive. I was told "sometime before 7pm"...so here i am waiting. stupid fedex.
As for Alabama, it was a good trip. For reasons other than the state. However, i must admit, the actual state has improved a little. first off, the stench is gone or lessened. See, when i first made these expeditions, as soon as i crossed the state line, I would notice a horrid stench for the first couple dozen miles. this was a regular occurance. This time, when i crossed, there was no stench. So i can only assume they have found the source of said smell, and eliminated it. Secondly, the roads are improving finally. They've been doing road work for over 8 months now that i know of. They've now moved to the right side of the road. so things are improving on that front. I used to be able to tell when i crossed the line by the state of the road, but it's getting trickier. esp without the stench now. thirdly, i had to stop at the reststop on my way there, right on the line. The state of alabama procures higher quality toilet paper than emory does. I felt this is of worthy note, and i must commend them for that.
Other than that, trip was good. saw charlie/choco...also saw constantine. layed around. threw the cat around. reinstilled my faith in ruby tuesdays (they've changed their menu for the better, yay for buffalo burgers)
In other news, roomies will have interest in this, but i'm going to exchange my xbox for another one. I was playing jade empire today while waiting, and the same thing that happened to me in KOTOR is happening here. soooo...not pleased. i have to buy a memory card in order to change over my saved games. not happy about that, but i don't want to loose some of those saves (mortal kombat for example, if you've played, you know how much of a pain it is to unlock stuff)
goodkarma news: I noticed earlier this week that there was a charge on my debit to blockbuster for like 20 bucks or so. i thought this odd cause i hadn't been there in a while. I went to go rent some stuff and ask about this last night (hence jade empire). Turns out, there's been a gamepass on the account for many months. It's been renewing itself as it runs out. The store records only went back about 4 months, and it showed the renewal, and no other activity on my account. So they refunded 3 months, i'm using the current month. and they're sorry for any inconvience. As i review my bank statements, i never really read each single line. $9 and $20 dollar purchases are common for me. When i check my balances every nowandthen missing money i usually attributed to spending on food without realizing. So i never caught the $20 charge on my account once a month. I think this has been going on for almost a year, but i've got no way of proving that AND i didn't act on it. (got bank records, but nothing else) so i'll take what i can get, and start reviewing my accounts in more detail.
