My new car...
So, a lot has happened this past weekend. Well, not so much on Friday or Saturday (on Friday night I went out with Steve and Andy to the movies and saw An American Haunting, which totally sucked ass, and on Saturday night I went to the bar with Steve to watch the Reds lose to the Diamondbacks, which totally sucked ass). Sunday was quite eventful though. First off, on Sunday morning through afternoon, I went car shopping (by myself) and bought myself a new car. That's right; I bought a new car and will no longer be driving the eyesore rust-hole pick-up any longer. I bought a 2000 dark metallic grey Toyota Camry LE (pics up probably tomorrow). It is very, very nice with all the bells and whistles. I am a bit thrown off by the car though, because it is just too nice. It is an "adult" car as my mother put it, and that pretty much sums it up nicely. I feel like I am driving a really nice renter. Hopefully when the novelty wears off a bit, I will begin to believe that I actually own the car.
So, after I bought my car I headed directly to a friend of mine's house, who is in from Colorado, for her sister's graduation party. I had a great time catching up and drinking up with Andrea and her friends. We played lots of drinking games, like flip-cup, with the young and old of the party. There's nothing like chugging beer alongside forty and fifty year olds (against the twenty year old newly graduates). But before all the drinking got started at the party, well—before much of the drinking was underway, Andrea received a call from her friend Pam, who was on her way down to the party. Apparently her drive down from Columbus, her car broke down on the side of the interstate outside of Kings Island, stranding her and her little child. Since Andrea didn't have her car with her (as she flew in) I and her friend Christy were charged to go pick her up and possibly get her car started (Pam didn't know what was wrong with it). Of course this is all the way on the other side of town, which I didn't mind too much, because I had my brand new car. Evidently, after we finally got there and learned what happened, Pam was driving and her car started to smoke. Instead of pulling over immediately, she kept on driving for quite some time, until her car simply just stopped working. She over heated her car and blew a hose or two (I assumed, as the radiator was leaking very badly all over the road). Long story short, her car was not going to go anywhere without a tow truck. I took her and her little one back to the party and then volunteered (the gentleman as I am) to take her back up to Columbus today. And that is what I did (and let me tell you that little screaming kids pissed off in car seats are quite annoying).
But at least I had the available option of swinging by my friend Goober's house today after I dropped Pam and her kid off. We had fun playing down by the river (the pics can be found on Goob's flicker site), and when it grew dark, we head back to his house and grilled up some hamburgers. Mmmmm Angus beef... *drools*
Anyway, it's been eventful and I have to shove off to bed for another fun filled day tomorrow. After I take care of all the paperwork with my cars, I get to go see my Reds beat the Nationals with Isaac, Andrea, and her friend Christy from the party. It shall be a good time. Since all the driving around has tuckered me out completely and I am tired of sharin', here's where I leave you.
Peace out peoples,
