So, lots to write about. I'll start with the stuff I posted that I was going to post about - in my metapost, if you will.

Because I know I sure will. Or something like that.

First, Ray had his baby! Yay! Well, I guess you could say Heather had it, to be fair and all. It was the 22nd, she's healthy and everything. I need to send them some congratulatory messages. It's very exciting. It's hard to believe, I s'pose. We're closing together on Sunday - theoritically - so I'm sure I'll get to hear all about it.

Speaking of babies, Saxton is getting bigger every day. We had Sunday brunch at Mom's, it's just incredible watching him grow. I mean, I hate kids and all, but I won't deny the miracle that is human life.

Simply stunning.

Next, my truck. Um, what was I going to post about? Oh, yeah. So I noticed it was hissing after driving it, and I could smell coolant. I took it over to Meineke. It's a weird little shop, and I got annoyed when they let that girl cut in front of me that last time, but I do like the way they take care of their customers. They're very sure to provide you with a written estimate before they do anything, or call you if they're not there. That was one of the problems I had with B&M - I would always very specifically tell them I wanted them to call me before they did anything, and they never did. Hell, one time, we got the truck dropped off there around eight am; it was pushing four, and we hadn't heard anything at all from them. They said they'd be able to look at it before noon, so we were getting a little concerned. We called, and they had already diagnosed and fixed the problem. I mean, yeah, that's kinda good, except we had specifically requested a call before any work was done. So yeah, that got a little annoying. I went to Meineke once for an oil change, and to get the brake light thing checked out. No problems there - the check brake light was on 'cause a tube had somehow been disconnected, no extra charge at all for diagnosing and fixing it. So yeah, I'm going with them for right now.

I called at like 1:30, asking how long the wait was (I had to be to work at five). They said they had an open bay. I got there, it had been filled (Hmm). But yeah, it was some girl waiting to get her brakes checked out. She was reading America: The Book, which is just awesome. I thought I might have recognized her from on campus, but didn't say anything. Yeah, it wasn't until about 3:30 that they were able to look at Chelsea. One hose had holes in it, two more were wearing thin. I told him that I'd get it fixed there, *if* they were sure they could have it done by 4:35 - it was 3:45 at this point.

I started getting worried about 4:40. At 4:45, they came out and told me that they had the wrong hose. I told them I had to be to work at 5, the lady working the desk drove me home, let me change, then drove me to work. Weird, but it works. They dropped off the truck at a few hours later. I was ansy with someone else driving her around and what-not, but everything turned out okay.

So, next on this wildly sporadic, topic-hopping adventure: movie night. Jason and I have been hanging out at my place after work, watching movies. First night was just the two of us, watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's not a porn, as my mom seemed to think. But it's FRICKIN' AWESOME. Very sarcastic, witty dialogue. I'm taking it up to Rose and Lilie tomorrow night, I think they'll love it. The second time, it was me, Kenny, Ambra, and Jason watching the same movie again. Finally, Ambra, Jason and I watched Momento. I was the only one who hadn't seen it. Fantastic movie.

Let's see, what else, what else?

Yeah, we've got two new drivers at work, Kyle and David. We always seem to hire drivers in pairs - Enrique and Greg, Ryan and Kenny, David and Kyle. It's notable because we associate the two of them, even though they've never met before they started working, and will generally only be associated as co-workers, not like a deep bond or something. That sentence didn't make a lot of sense, so bare with me. Anyway. Closed with Jason and Kyle the other night, that was a lot of fun. I want to say that was the night we watched Momento. In fact, I'm almost positive, 'cause we gave Kyle a hard time about not joining us - his girlfriend was down from Austin or something. But yeah, they both seem to be working out well. David kind of reminds me of Rick from Sonic, but only in a physical sense. He's a little taller, a little wider, but definite physical resemblance. Psychologically, nothing like him. He seems really cool, though. Kyle is always described as a new Mokry, but I don't really agree. Time will tell, though.

So, Rebecca. She's the girl at Jack-in-the-Box that makes me feel weird whenever we make eye contact. I mean, it's just a little crush. I've been talking to Rose, and there aren't really any ways to approach a female in the service industry. I'm sure it's happened once or twice, but it won't this time. It helps if you're like really hot and they make the first motion, but failing that, you don't really have many options. I dont know what I'm saying - I'm sure there's a way, I just don't have the confidence to do it. I figure females receive all kinds of unsolicited attention as it is - *especially* those in the service industry - and I don't want to exacerbate the problem. To be fair, though, at the moment, she's *way* in the back of my mind. That's only because it's been such an awesome three days. We'll see what happens when I'm back in the daily grind, if I get to come back up to Austin very often. I hope I do. I like it up here. So yeah, she's cute. Really pretty eyes. That's... about all I have to say on the matter for right now. Probably *it*, as well. I mean, probably all I'll have to say about it.

So I'm still up in Austin, hanging out with Rose and Lilie, which is nice. Looks like I'll be crashing here tonight too. It's... confusing, to say the least. Simple, but confusing. Easy, but hard. A, but not a.

Good times.

I think too much, and not enough.

So... what else? I don't know. I'm still bummed about this whole Domino's thing being taken off of my time frame, about my social life being all twisted up, I just feel like I've lost control for the time being. It's time I started taking it back, I just have to take the first step. That's the hardest. Well... I'll be able to take it in one area, not sure about another. I think it'll just keep going on like it has been, failing something catastrophic to act as a catalyst and force me to break out of it.

So, back to work tomorrow. I have two closing shifts, a day off, then a long inside shift, then close on Sunday. I have to go in to talk to Gina as soon as I'm backin town, which will probably be around 11 am tomorrow or so. I have to remember to ask Lilie if we can set her alarm clock - it's not quite as loud as mine, but it'll do - before we crash out.
