Sound Off!
Not much has been going on. just getting frustrated at my car. I don't want to toot my own horn (No... not that horn... atleast not this early before bed hehe), but the RX-8 is a fairly rare car. Atleast when you come pair it to cars like mustangs or eclipses. So it stands to reason that not that many people know how to install a very specialized stereo setup in this car. I just had my car pc and monitor installed with an overseas dash kit (which I had to pay out the ass to get!) and it just sounds aweful! Yes I had a professional do the installation, but to save myself a little money I went to the #2 place in town. I figured they'd still do a decent job right? WRONG! FUCK ME! Now I have to buy ANOTHER component to route all the sound through (that will be another $160-$200 (not counting labor)) just so it can sound listenable (is that a word?). But fuck the place i went to first, I'm gonna have the #1 place put in the new peice and see if they can spot anything that was done incorrectly.
I love my car to death, and the PC is working great! Even the GPS works beyond my expectations, it's just the sound coming to the speakers! Engine noise and random pops, it's aweful!
So what i've been doing for the last week is just driving around with out sound, but watching video. I've got anime music videos, South Park episodes, Chappell clips, and other stuff going, but it'd be so much better with sound. For now I need to wait until my next pay check (or two) and gather up some more cash. My last credit card bill was actually more than what I could make over two weeks with 13 hours of over time!
Pissing around with my car has been mostly what I've up to.. OOh, and I guess we have a new family of cats in the backyard. A few weeks ago, my mom discovered a very friendly cat living by our shed. She followed it and found some kittens with it! A few died cause the momma cat wouldn't feed some of them. We think she was dropped off by our house when she was just about ready to give birth and didn't have any food, thus couldn't make enough milk to feed all the kittens. I've had to frequently check on the kittens to make sure none get left behind. Mitch and I bought some food for her. Heh, the momma cat has no tail, so it must be a farm cat. The kittens very cute, they just opened their eyes 3 or 4 days ago. There are two striped gray ones and one orange one. I'm gonna try and get a good picture with my camera phone tomarrow.
