I went to the Milwaukee auto show today since spongebob was gonna be there and I wanted my picture with him. That was the only thing good there. Here was NO concept cars at all. There was a red and white ford gt40 but that’s a production model car now. The only good thing was they had a silver Scion Xb there. I looked at it some more and sat in it again. It is extremely nice, with the front seat all the way backt here is still major legroom in back. Its so comfortable. And it looks pretty hot wrapped in 19” wheels. I also scored a Scion winter hat. But other than that the autoshow was a ripoff.
After that I stopped at ritz camera and got some stuff I needed. Then I ate at applebees in the mall there. That was the worst service ever! The table to our left and to our right had plates on it the whole time we were there. The service was terribly slow. Then some employees just pushed the dirty plates all to the side on one table and sat down and ate themselves. At one time there was 6 employees eating at the table. They could at least clean the fucking thing up. And why do 6 people need to take a break at the same time when its busy and people are getting shit service.
I went shopping yesterday with my step mom and my aunt. That was fun. My aunt Doreen got me a cookies n crème cappuccino. She had hers gone right away and was hyper for the time after. She kept giving me crap cuz mine wasn’t finished yet. I got myself a cute piggy bank and long sleeve shirt at old navy. While iw as in line waiting to check out some cute girl asked if she could put her finger thru the tunnels in my ear. I let her and she giggled. It was funny. After that we went to red lobster to eat. I had a cheeseburger and stuff cuz I dont like seafood. I had some stinky farts for the rest of the night.
I got my car fixed to. It just needed an alignment I guess. So now its all good. I start my job tomorrow morning too. That’s going to be fun.
Its Grey Tuesday today. I downloaded the grey album, its pretty good I think. I had to download nero so I could burn it properly. I wanted it to display the song titles when I play it in my car.
Matchstick men came out on dvd today too. I had to return my videogame I had rented and its mid week so if I rent a new release I get a one dollar rental free or a two for one dollar rental. So I rented matchstick men and got mission to mars and dr giggles as my free rentals. Ill watch those two at work since they are on vhs. I dropped the two tapes of at work so I wouldn’t forget them in the morning and so the boss could watch them too. When I stopped in later I asked them how dr giggles was. He is from India. And in his accent he said “he cut them motherfuckers all up” it was funny to hear. Ill have to watch it tomorrow and see how good it is. Matchstick men was real good i think, it got good toward the end and stuff.
I got my car back today too. But it felt weird when I was steering so I looked and when both front tires are suppose to be straight ahead one of em is pointed outward a bit. So I made an appointment to get it looked at and aligned tomorrow. Hopefully its just the alignment and not a tie rod or something needing replacement. But they will let me know. So until then I cant drive it much. I don’t want to wreck my tires
My passport came in the mail today. Its so cute. Now I just need to go places. I also got my check for 13.86 from the CD MAP Antitrust thingy. I ordered some cds from Springman records. I had got a Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show cd from them a few months ago and it rocks!
Kohler company called me today while I was napping. I have my physical and stuff Wednesday and then after that I’ll hopefully start soon.
I saw a 32” HDTV on sale for 600$ at walmart the other day, it was so tempting to buy it. Its got the benefit of HD but not in a big huge tv set, id actually be able to fit a 32” in my room. Xbox would look real good on it too. But I didn’t get it.
Shrek was on tv the other night. That is one of the best movies ever. While I was at work I txt messaged a friend lines from the movie and I got msgd back the next line, until we couldn’t remember how the rest went. That was pretty fun
When I got in to work this morning to open I noticed there was water all over the desk in the office and everything was drenched. It turns out the roof leaks and stuff. And since the snow on the roof is starting to melt it leaks. I had to set my paperwork under the heater vent and let it dry off so I could write on it later. But then I saw 3 candy bars on the counter and a note. Mom left me candy bars. So that made me feel a bit better, since the water all over screwed up my getting ready to open.
The simpsons rocked tonight. The new episode was pretty funny. And the rerun episode is great too. The cats they get keep dying in it. And then the cops didn’t want to be seen so they put a sign that said pizza on roof of car. And they guys like what if they like pizza? And chief wiggum says I am way ahead of you and puts a sign that says dominoes on the door.
I had to open and close the store last night. The boss called me at 7pm and asked if I could come close tonight. So I ended up going in. so instead of watching tv at home I watched tv at work. I got to watch my movie I rented though, it had to be back that night. It was shanghai noon. It was a pretty funny movie. I had to open this morning too. So after work I took a nap for a few hrs.
I need to order some sleeves for negatives. I have a bunch with no sleeves. I looked at walmart and they didn’t have any. I didn’t see any at walgreens either. I did pick up a photo album at walmrt but when I got home and started to use it I realized it wasn’t like the picture showed. So I need to take it back tomorrow or something. Walgreens had a good album so I got one there instead. Its made by a company I worked at for a little while when I lived in Madison.
I rented tony hawk underground. It seems like a fairly good game. I like it better than the last tony hawk game. But I still like bmx xxx more I think. I just like bmx more than skateboards I guess.
I had an interview today for a job at Kohler Co. I got offered the job and took it. Now I need to wait for them to call me back so I can go take a physical and stuff for it. I will be working 1st shift. Its 10 hr days too. And it pays nicely.
I bought an hp scanner the other day because it has a slide and negatives attachment. The thing sucked. It was super slow scanning, then when it did scan the image in the colors were real terrible. It also wouldn’t keep my settings, so I each time I scanned I had to wait for it to warm up. Then change the settings, and then wait another minute or longer for it to warm up again. It was a pain in the ass. So I took it back. I decided to just pay walmart and have them scan the images. They came out real good. I put them up in the front of the zoo part on my gallery. I need to save up and buy a good film scanner though.
I was watching the price is right at work yesterday and this ditzy girl bid one dollar. And after all the bids were in the bell went off. Which meant someone had an exact bid, and the girl got all excited. Then bob barker said I bet everything I have that you’re not the one that won. Or something close to that he said. It was so funny. The girl also was real slow an annoying him whenever she had to bid, she would take forever.
I went to my friends yesterday to try fixing her computer. But it was too messed up. While I was there I had her finish cutting my hair for me since I couldn’t reach some spots or do it right. But we screwed up so had to cut it even shorter. It turned out ok though.
This was in the new issue of rolling stone, I thought it was funny. “Sex offenders often pound eight to ten times a day”
Went to the auto show Friday in Chicago. It was pretty neat. Ill do a full write up with pictures and stuff on Tuesday or Wednesday. Since I am waiting on getting the film back.
I got some new ideas for a front page layout for this site sketched into my notebook. Hopefully I will have some time to work on that this week. I am working mornings now during the week at work. The morning person we had got fired. Which is kind of good, it gives me more hours and stuff and time to read.
I found my lunchbox in the basement and I need to clean it out and add some stickers to it so it looks pretty. I going to make myself sandwiches for work instead of buying food at work. Otherwise I end up eating candy and chips.
Heres a picture of woodie. He was pacing back and forth on my lap and headbutting me. It was cute.
I went to Madison Monday so I could pick up my new minidisc player. But when I got there they wanted to screw me over on it. I would write it all here but that would take a while so go read it here
After that I went to the zoo to take more pictures. The tiger was sitting down in the snow. I put my 300mm lens on and got some real good pictures. But since it was slide film I need to wait a week to get the film back. I will post pictures when that happens.
Not much else going on for the week. I am going to the auto show Friday in Chicago. Hopefully I will get some good pictures from that. I need to buy some more film soon, I am starting to run out.
I was almost late for work today. Mom woke me up at bout 5minutes before I was suppose to open the store asking me if I was going to work. I guess I turned my alarm off in my sleep or it didn’t go off. Or something like that. I left in a rush and forgot my jacket. At least it isn’t too cold out today. And I forgot to bring my ipod so I could have music to listen to.
The other night while I was working some guy asked what gauge my ears were. He said that they must be -0 gauge or something. Haha negative zero isn’t a size, dumbass. I wish everything was in mm instead of gauge, because its annoying to explain that there isn’t a gauge for 30mm. While I was working the other station called me and asked if I knew why the cooler wasn’t working. What the hell? I am not a mechanic, call a repair guy not me. I went and looked at it and said no clue and left. They can deal with it, its not my problem. While I was there they asked why the heat wasn’t working. Uh its because the breaker was off dumbasses.
I watched Scooby doo while at work today, that movie sucked! Im glad I didn’t rent it or anything. It was so dumb, I lost interest in it right away.
I added another folder to my gallery. I scanned in all the drawings Id do in my notebook during math class, instead of paying attention. http://www.ieatbrains.com/gallery/Doodles
I need to clean my room sometime, it’s a big mess. And somewhere in it is my usb ipod cables hopefully. I can’t seem to find them.
Yawn I am sleepy. I was up until 3am last night. I was going to go to bed before that but a friend called and we talked on the phone for an hr or so. That was worth staying up though. Got caught up on stuff.
Americantv called me the other day also. They decided that they are going to replace my minidisc player instead of repairing it. Which is cool, but I don’t think the newer model has any significant changes besides the appearance. I had mine hacked also so I had all the high end model features on it. I will probably resell the new one I get or ask if I can just get a store credit and use it in a few months when the Hi-Md players come out. They are going to hold 45hrs of music on a 1gb disc, and they will also be able to store files and such. That’s one thing I wish the current models had.
Suppose to get 5 inches of snow or so tomorrow night. That’s going to be fun. I love driving in the snow. If I get up early enough I might go take pictures tomorrow. I spent most my day sleeping and doing some laundry so I had clean socks to wear. I went and got 70 12packs of soda for the boss today too. I am getting better at stacking them in the back and stuff so they don’t shift around while driving. I took a picture of his suv weighted down from all the soda. After that I headed home and finished up my laundry and went to work.
Work was fairly boring. It gave me time to read my issue of popular mechanics that came in the mail today. I also had to restock the milk 3 fucking times! I sold atleast 30 one gallons of milk I think tonight, people were constantly buying it. And most would buy two at a time. When I got there it was totally empty. Even though I stocked it last night also. The people that own suck at stocking stuff. The milk is always empty or its facing the wrong way in the cooler. Come on people how hard is it to put milk on a shelf and make sure the label faces the cooler door?! It’s a walk in cooler so stocking anything is super easy. I was trying to restock the soda so they could sell it but then the girl told me to come back up to the register because she was leaving. So the cooler didn’t get finished. The place sells stuff real good, but it needs to be stocked to sell.
Im back to working at another gas station here in town for now. Working only 2 days at the other one wasn’t really giving me much money since I have it spent on film and food right away and end up poor for the rest of the week. So for now until kohler calls me back ill be working 2 jobs, still probably not 40hrs though. But that’s ok with me, I haven’t worked a 40hr week in about a year.
I went to Plymouth yesterday and took some pictures. I’ve already scanned them and added them to the black and white gallery, the new pictures are at the front. I am pretty happy with the way some came out. My friend brenna even said I am getting better. That made me happy to hear. 97758 is one of my favorite ones. The link to see my gallery is on the left in the links section.
I was reading the paper at work the otherday and saw this picture. The guy is pouring kerosene out of a container on to a fire! I don’t know much about kerosene but im assuming that that isn’t a safe thing to be doing. I don’t really think they should have published it. Because there is stupid people out there that will assume its an ok thing to do. I took a picture to show you the local idiot.
Arg I am starting to slack off on writing here. Shame on me.
I got everything I needed done on Friday before it was even noon. Yay me. I went to check on my film at walmart and I guess it takes 2weeks tog et back black and white film. If I knew it was going to take that long I would’ve took it to the camera place half hour away and had it developed. I hate waiting, I guess that’s why I pay 7$ to develop my film at 1hr normally instead of the 3.50 or so it costs to send it out with 2day service.
Ill have my passport in about 6weeks. Now I just need to save and go somewhere far away this summer. Toronto is the farthest I have been from Wisconsin. So I need to go somewhere. London sounds kinda neat. I don’t know if I have a place to stay in Switzerland still. My friend a while ago said I could stay there for as long as I wanted.
My ipod was acting up yesterday, it had a line across the screen. Kind of like what would happen to the old gameboys if left in the car in summer. But the ipod was in my room the whole time and stuff. So I called apple support and they had me reinstall everything on it. Which erased my songs. But after that it worked. I am hoping it doesn’t do it again.
Today was kind of slow at work because of the superbowl and stuff going on today. But luckily I had brought toy story and toy story2 with me to work. I was able to watch them both. After that mom came in and I talked to her while she was doing the paperwork and stuff. The weather is real nice out today, not cold at all. Hopefully it stays like this. Since it’s a new week I gotta finish up my roll of film. Maybe tomorrow or something ill go find some pretty stuff to take pictures of. Heres a picture of a sticker that someone stuck to the lottery ticket machine. I like the sticker, its funny.
