my dad and other local news
I got home from the gym the other night to hear a familiar tune being blasted from the basement. "Dad?!?!?! Is that PEARL JAM?!?!?!" I didn't even know he was familiar with the name let alone their songs...
This morning I woke up late. Real late. We're talking 50 minutes late. I'm rushing around getting dressed trying to get out the door (subsequently grabbing my white underarmor shirt to wear so now I'm at work with a workout shirt on. Luckily it's not noticeable). I run downstairs to say goodbye. "Oh Krista" my dad says. "I fixed your sunglasses and put a screw in them." (The ear piece fell off due to a screw falling out). "Thanks dad, but I need to go back I fix it because a wire is bent and makes the whole thing wobbley" - My mom had already tried "fixing" it once and I had told her about the need to take it out and reshape them. "oh" he says with a pained look on his face "well... the thing is... I can't get the screw out now. I'llbuyyouanotherpair." "*Sigh* No dad, those were my favorite pair". *he reaches for the glasses* "well then I'll get it out". I snatch the glasses out of his hands "no dad, I'll work on it don't worry about. Thanks for trying though." It may have seemed harsh, but when my dad is determined to do something, like fit a screw into a too-small hole, he doesn't stop until he gets it... Lord only know what he would do to my poor glasses in trying to get the screw OUT!
The weather people can't seem to get their stories straight. As I was rushing around this morning my mom tells me to go and shut my window. "There's a HUGE hurricane-like storm coming. It's gonna be big" Really? Last I had heard it was going to be windy and rainy. As she going on and on about this storm of astronomical proportions the weather guy on our local news channel gives his weather report. "it's going to be really windy. Gust can be up to 60 mph on the coast (I'm no where near the coast) and some light rain through the weekend". I look at my mom, she stares blankly at the tv. "THAT'S NOT WHAT THE WEATHER CHANNEL SAID!! They were talking flash flooding, wind, crazy things!!!" This morning on my way to work the radio dj said it would stop by tomorrow at 6 a.m. It's times like these that I like to use Boy-Ryan's quote "It must be nice to be a weather guy. It's the only career you can be wrong 90% of the time and still have a job!!!"
