have a magical day

[the_female_form]

so the trip didn't end up going as well as planned. i did get to see the family, and alix and i got a crazy amount of presents. lucille just wasn't having it. she broke down on sunday and i had to have my father tow the car out to my uncles shop. it was such a mess. apparently the douchebags who installed my new gas tank fucked with the fuel pump (mind you, the one i just had installed this summer) and now the gas wasn't getting from the tank into the vehicle. they had to remove the new gas tank, re-install the fuel pump, then re-install the gas tank. i could tell my dad was irritated so i left feeling like more of a burden then a delightful house guest. my dad says if i break down in the tri-cities one more time he's going to blow lucille up.
alix is going to his monthly d&d bullshit today. i don't understand, if they're just playing some stupid magical game, why does it need to last all day? how long can one pretend to be or sorcerer or whatnot? i don't even want to meet these guys he goes and plays with. that's just one toe over the line of my allowed nerdability. but whatever, i guess it gets him out of the house.
i think i'm gonna take down the christmas decorations today.
