Okay, let me get this straight... it's like, 7am, and I'm awake? Aww, this is new.
I was simply playing games in Noble last night, after buying a new motherboard - when I got the message to call the camp director of Cimmarron (a camp Lindsey generally volunteers at during summers, but suggested I join her), so I did - and she asked what time I wanted an interview. One, they've REALLY got to be desperate if she just asked me for an interview, I mean seriously... look who we're talking about, Cody.
Anyhow, she asked what time would be best for me, and being the SLICK person I am - I left it up to her, for a convient time - it's HER convience that matters, otherwise I would've simply said 6pm.
No, she wanted to see me at 10am. Let me get this straight, a hour away, and 10am. That means, leave no later than 9, wake up by 7:30 to 8. Bad enough driving a hour in a truck I *hate*. It's not bad to drive around locally, but it's uncomfortable, and slow.
Worst of it all, it's WRECKED. Sure, it was a great deal - 2000$ for a '99 S10. But still, WHAT IS THE POINT OF BUYING A WRECKED TRUCK IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX IT? MMKAY?
My car won't be finished until... gasp... Monday. That's if EVERYTHING goes right. He wanted to tell me later next week if anything goes wrong, (him = brother). By the way, my brother is... oh how do you say... pissing me off, lately.
It kind of started in March when he was full of BS to take this project on himself... you know, so I could run into lots of *little* problems, and not have my car for over 2-3 months. I had an alternative you know, would take 3 days, and cost just about the same... only would require an initial drive to Tulsa to pick the car back up when it was done. Oh well. At least now I know where everything is, and I don't have to let anybody fix it when I could do it myself.
Anyhow, he really started pissing me off when Zach and I went to his house to get my motor mounts - which he cleverly came up with about 4 stories, in 30 minutes, of why one of them were missing. Zach gave me a funny face, I agreed. I asked if it was still on the motor, brother said no... I started calling junk yards.
I talk to a guy who was cool enough to explain a lot about my motor, and especially the motor mounts... how this one my brother "lost, broke, threw away" (pick a story), was a LIQUID mount, unlike the others... so would look COMPLETELY different.
Cody hangs up, makes a quick call to brother, brother says, "Oh...", and suddenly that mount he threw away never left the engine. W-t-f mate?
Oh, did I mention yet? For quite some time, and if you've lan'd with me - you know - I've had a problem with freezing, or lately, not even start up. I always dismissed this as my powersupply failing, but it was never the case. My motherboard was failing, it had a swollen, overheating capacitor. So, the guys in Noble had this motherboard priced at 100$, and told me they'd sell it at price. Ended up saving around 40$, so I went ahead and installed it there... and got everything restored in about 30 minutes of downloading. They were talking about having a lan of Cossacks, and Battlefield: Vietnam, so I stuck around to play. We played about a 2 hour game of Cossacks - which was great, never played it before. Zach always wanted me to play, and now I know how to play - so I'll have to fight Zach.
The owner of Computer Medics (in Noble), is Zach's Uncle... that's how I know them.
After about 10 minutes, I figured the swing of things, from watching Sean, Zach's uncle - who was doing GREAT. Worked well as a team even, and ended up kicking ass. Apparentally, the other team also had two guys that were pretty good... and we slaughtered them, one by one. At the end of the game, a guy there - Mike(?), was saying next game he's going to kick my ass first, because he didn't like my strategy.
I left before a second game started, had to get home and grab some sleep. I didn't go to sleep until around 4 anyway, so should've stayed. Oh well, I asked them to let me know if they have another... if I have time, I want to go.
Anyhow, I've got to find a shirt, and find out why my cat is looking at the wall was blankly.
