breakdown

last night i watched the special features on my new dvds...the making of Taxi Driver thing was pretty rad...i also watched the Slow Century Pavement documentary...i didn't get to bed too late, but i still managed to sleep through my stupid class...bah...i had my senior exam tonight so i went to go take it, of course...well, on the way while still in Germantown, my other front tire fucking went out...so i pulled over to go change it in the hurry that i was and then the fucking jack BENT! so when i tried to lift the car up, it'd fall back over onto the ground in a few seconds...the second time i tried it, i had the bolts off the tire and it fell over all awkward, the tire was half hanging off the wheel w/ the car's weight on it...i knew it couldn't stay like that, something would break...so i tried once more, this time putting the bent jack more back towards the middle of the car, this time i had it up long enough to switch the tires before it fell back down...(when it would fall, it didn't just fall straight down...it was more like it rolled forward onto the ground...i just didn't want it to seem like the car was just dropping down on me or anything...) i made it to the test...i was a bit late but they hadn't really started the test yet, they were still doing all the filling in information crap...of course, it was really easy (not that it matters what anyone gets on it...) and better yet, we didn't have to take the whole thing...just half of it...it was randomly selected that you'd either take the math/social studies section or the english/science sections...i had the math/social studies...earlier today, my Moogerfooger lowpass filter pedal arrived...so after that i went to the space and played w/ it some...i was all wound up over the crap that had happened...but i've calmed down...i knew that tire was about to go...so i guess the only new bit of suckiness is that i have to get a new jack...i do need to get the tire replaced tomorrow...i believe the plan is to do it durring my first class and borrow my mom's car to get there...and when it's done the tire should be replaced...at least it didn't go out on the way to class (especially one w/ an exam happening or something) or fuck up a night of work (especially a closing shift...) though as it happened, and on my way to the exam tonight, i thought it was gonna fuck it up and i'd be too late and i'd have to reschedule on a saturday morning...(i think that's the only exam date left...) but thankfully i made it and stuff...i'm lucky i managed to get the tire switched out at all w/ the jack being bent and all...well, enough of that blather...
