Another Fun Weekend

[ ]   —   11:08 am

Friday my replacement part for the driver’s door arrived from Enzenberger Mitchell body shop. Apparently when they lost the light off this door and nicely tucked the wires into the door, they forgot about it. The replacement was a reflector for the door. This wouldn’t bother me if I were paying for it, as it would be cheaper, but that is not the part that they lost. I planned on attempting to wire up the power inverter this weekend, that did not happen though. I did bust out the wiring kit and pull the necessary parts that i shall need to wire it, but it was a bit cold to be poking around under the hood, especially when I have no idea what I am doing there, nor where to put the hole in the firewall. Where am I supposed to ground the damn thing anyhow? Maybe this week I can get to that.

I also was intending on hanging the maps on my wall this weekend, but didn’t the chance to make it to the lumber yard for some appropriate hardware to hang some heavier things on the wall. Hopefully this week, that way I will be able to make the place look a little bit better. I picked up a bookcase/media storage unit at target yesterday for $12, 3 shelves of media bliss. Now if I only had all my movies, instead of my parents. The real reason for the trip to Target was for a 5 shelf bookcase for Abby, which I picked up and was actually able to shove in my car, through that little hole behind the armrest. Then the delivery of such item to her place.

What a wonderfully lazy day after that point. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings up on Alpine to watch the Michigan/State game. The outcome of the game was a bit disappointing, but not unexpected. I did enjoy the 12 wings, followed by some beer and another 4 boneless wings. Those sauces are really interesting, I mean they’re not really buffalo sauces I wouldn’t think. But I do really like some of the other flavors in those sauces. The spicy garlic was delicious, as was the caribbean jerk, wow that had a bite. Then back to Abby’s place, where we just BSed and watched TV and whatnot(had more food). The funniest game show moments was awesome. I have not laughed that hard in quite some time, I was wheezing I was laughing so hard. I left at some point during SNL, so I went back to my place messed around online for a bit, then hit the sack. Woke up at various times this morning, and eventually kicked myself out of bed around noon, took a shower, put together that media storage unit, and watched some Ernest goes to camp. Then chatted online, watched the Patriots/Colts first half went to Olive Garden with Abby for dinner, and bought some DVDs at Best Buy and came home to watch the Panthers/Eagles games. All in all I was pleased with the results of the games today, I’m torn on the superbowl though. It would be nice to see the former Michigan QB win his second superbown, but it would also be nice to see the noname QB from Cajun country win his first Superbowl ring

I guess some thinking, I really wish I could find a job. I need something more permanent than what I now have, and I can’t see that happen from GVSU. So the search continues elsewhere to get a job, I can only hope that Darrin’s connection at USF might help by at least getting me an interview for a parttime job. That is more than being unemployed come next month. I was talking a bit to William Seger about the Boundary Waters area, he didn’t have any details about getting a job up there. I figured having the summer home up there might lead to something but i guess not. I still hear that song by the Tobasco Donkeys, and it really strikes a chord. I need to get away from corporate America, but I am so deeply involved in all this computer BS. Maybe I just need to reach further out there to see what can be turned up
