Car re-enabled

I changed my car battery today. How many man points does this earn me? I think at least five.

So now my car is running again. But it seems like someone's lawnmower launched a rock at the front window and gave it a good crack. Boo.

In other news, Shoichi and Yoko invited the first year students (and me) over for a very delicious dinner.



Yoko made about three dinners worth of food, including some excellent salmon kabobs, yakitori, nanbanduke style cod, and eggplant au gratin. Yum.

Just ten days til I head back to Texas. It's already hot here, so I imagine Texas is boiling by now.

Oh sweet sweet Ford Escort wagon, oh how you take Chris from point A to Point B, it is magical. A man and his Car. OOoooo so, old and still running, Ford Escort. =D

Yeah, I just made that up just now, it makes no sense.

Hey, just a heads up. Is the weekend starting with Friday the 22nd a good weekend for the Austin trip.

I have watched 4 episodes of that show. Somehow they don't have the 5th episode on that site I was getting it from so I might just have to go on youtube for it. Its pretty good and inspirational. It also helps that the main character is of the attractive variety.

Yes - the Escort lives up to its name. It has been `escorting' me around for almost a year now. A good 500 dollar investment.

I'm pretty sure you can get episode 5 of gokusen on youtube at this URL:

I called my mom about the 22nd - I think its all good.

Oddly enough, it's a very mild 64 degrees right now...

I've already got our video game tournament lined up, young whipper snapper, what with your nimble mind and quick reflexes.

I look forward to your visit, even though I'll probably get beat.

(If you get bored, go to amazon and look up Classic Home Video Games, 1972-1984)
