Sorry for Laughing

for once i couldn't stay awake as long as i wanted to last night...i was trying to finish my a.i. hw and i was just too tired...went to class...back home for nap...BARELY managed to get up for my second class...it was quite the effort to crawl out of bed...more nap, 'til i got a call from Paul about practice tonight...shortly after that followed a call from Jacques on the subject as well...i was wanting to practice but was worried i wouldn't be able to get in touch w/ everyone...then they all get in touch w/ me...except Brad, but he answered his phone the first time i called, which is a rare treat...so that all went smoothly...i listened to some more old Family Ghost tapes...ah...then The Simpsons...the off to class...on the way i got some gas station sushi...remind me that i shouldn't ever get calamari...it's nothing like the horridness that is sea urchin, but it's not something that i enjoyed eating...maybe it's just theirs...i dunno...after class i met the dudes at the space...we went over some songs...it went pretty well...next time i think we should do some of the stuff we haven't done in a while...(like some of the ones i sing, not because i sing 'em...but because we haven't done any of 'em in a while...)

oh yea, and on the way there i got a 9V battery for the Big Muff...and when i went to replace it, some wacky science went down...i was taking the old batter off the little connector thingie (posts, i guess you'd call 'em...) and one of the battery's posts broke off and was stuck in the pedal's counterpart...i could see some blue reside stuff so i think it corroded and sort of glued itself in...ugh...i had to pry it out w/ a screwdriver...which is by no means easy...when i first tried to get it out i ended up breaking one of the wires (the one that hadn't already been broken off before) it needed to be de-sheathed to solder it back on...the was no knife or anything, so i had to trim the sheath off w/ a beer bottle cap...THAT was fun...Paul helped me solder it back on...holding the wire steady...actually, he ended up taping because it wasn't working...the taping it down worked though...

after practice Jacques, Paul, and i went to Huey's...and now i'm back home...woo...i'm kind've nervous about training tomorrow...not the actual training part, by now i know this job TOO well...it's just the whole girl part...although i know as soon as she gets on my car she'll be like "what's this crap we're listening to? can't you put on some Zeppelin?" in which case, i'll pull Houses of the Holy out of my secret Zep stash i keep hidden in my glove box and all will be good...'cuz i'll be listening to some Zep and not the other crap i pretend to like so i'll look cool and pick up chicks...
