I had a nice four-day vacation. Terry's in Georgia and things seem a lot more peaceful around the house. I can actually get a good night's sleep now, instead of waking up every half hour to "OH MY GOD THAT IS SUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! HOW DID I MISS?!?! FUCK THIS I'M QUITTING THIS GAME ARGGH!!!!" or "WOOOOO HOOOOO HA HA HA HA HA MAN THAT WAS AN AWESOME SHOT!!! I WISH SOMEONE GAVE A SHIT!!!" And, I actually get to use the computer on which I spent a lot of money upgrading. Terry downloaded a lot of things I already had, and he had four copies of two large games, and stored everything on my 73GB Raptor drive, filling it up while my 120GB storage drive only has about 40GB used up. There were two trojans running as well. Took me three hours to get all that shit cleaned up.
I tripped over a box yesterday and looked to see what it had in it. It's my Walbro 340 fuel pump and wiring kit. Well, hot damn. I thought I left it in my GN when it got destroyed and couldn't find it. That saves me $150. Now if I could find my Scanmaster I'll be in business.

Either my speedometer is off or my car is a cop magnet. Just about everytime I see a cop going the opposite direction they do a U-turn and follow me. I should do a U-turn when they do it, then they'd have to do it again, then I'd just do it again. It'd be crazy. I'm pretty sure that's illegal unless it's an emergency vehicle or an officer in pursuit. Maybe I can do a citizen's arrest, like in that episode of The Andy Griffith Show where Gomer made Barney write himself a ticket for doing an illegal U-turn. That'd be awesome.

This morning on my way to work I pulled out on the highway and was going about 5mph under the speedlimit when this Chevy Blazer flew up on me out of nowhere. I thought he was going to pass me, but he just kept coming closer. So, I gave him some room. Once I hit about 85 I down-shifted and coasted to the redlight. I saw the door open with Lake County Sherrif on it. Aw, shit. He ran up and yelled, "Just what are you trying to prove?!?! You lookin' for a $300 ticket!?" I replied, "I'm sorry, officer. I thought you were just another idiot and were going to hit me. Perhaps you shouldn't act like you're going to ram people. I wasn't speeding at the time." He just shook his head and got back in his vehicle. What a little bitch.

Hell yeah.
I've stopped working on MP indefinitely. I don't really have the time to finish it, and whenever I do have time to work on it I can't think of anything other than swill dialog. The portion that is finished is pretty good, though. Well, if you get the inside jokes, anyway.
My grandmother's got this weekend getaway thing planned out for us for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Josh, Charlie and I are to spend 3 1/2 hours on some boat, 5 hours walking around Key West, another 3 1/2 hours on that stupid boat, and the night in some motel, while mine and Charlie's grandmothers go shopping or something. There are all sorts of things you can do in Key West, like...uh..snorkeling. Yeah, that's fun to do in November. There's also walking around town aimlessly, which I hear can be exciting. Or insipid. I forget which.

Listening to the ambient music in this office is of the most ingenious tortures ever devised for sins committed in previous lives.

Today is a difficult day for my family, especially for my grandmother. It's my grandfather's birthday. They're holding some sort of memorial service for him at the military cemetary. I'd like to have gone, and then go look at that Buick so I could have transportation of my own, but instead I get the privilege of coming to work and accomplishing absolutely nothing because I have to wait on a guy who's been out to lunch for 2 1/2 hours at the time of writing this to provide me with some things so I can finish my work. Yay!
I'm listening to the chick behind me talk on her cell phone. I don't like "overhearing" shit such as this because I think it'll have some negative long-term effects on my intellectual potential if I do it too often, but she's rather loud. To be nice about it, she seems emotionally unstable. She's talking to some guy (I presume) she seems to hate with a passion, but is still on the phone with him for some reason. After a string of "uh-huh"s and "kiss my ass"es, she loudly blurts out, "Well if you won't even take me out to dinner but you'll take her to a motel room then she can't come anywhere near my dogs!!"
Like I said, it may have negative long-term effects on my intellectual potential.

I tried to get more out of insurance than $6,200, but it wasn't happening. I argued for about ten minutes and offered to pull the engine apart with a list of the parts that it came with from the factory to show him what exactly wasn't stock, and then show him prices on each of these items, but he said he can only go by receipts. So if I had a huge blower sticking through the hood that the previous owner put on but didn't give me receipts for, to the insurance company it'd just be stock. He says he's doing me a favor by taking my word for it that the paint and wheels aren't factory, even though I faxed him several articles from various websites clearly explaining that all Grand Nationals in 1986 came from the factory with all black paint and black wheels, while I have a two-tone paint job with a fucking custom purple checkered flag thing on the hood and four front GTA wheels. Taking my word for it my ass. I told him about the vacuum brake conversion and had pictures of what a stock brake system looks like in contrast to mine. Sorry, you don't have a receipt. So, I just went ahead and accepted the bullshit offer while he acted like I should be happy with it the whole time. If I didn't accept it it'd probably be another two-three weeks before anything happened.
I'm going to have to try to talk the guy down to about $7k on the WE4 to be able to buy it now.

Gone fishin’
There’s a sign upon my door
Gone fishin’
I'm not workin’ anymore
There’s my hoe out in the sun
Where I left a row half done
Hoein’ just isn't fun
I've got no ambition
Gone fishin’
