dude...

So this had to have been the oddest week I have had in a while...In a nut-shell, I nearly got into a car accident, I had to go for round two of jury duty, my car took a poop (completely unrelated to the near accident), my uncle is in the hospital with some unknown infection, i had the worst hangover on thursday due to an unplanned drink-fest, and Dustin broke -- no, more like masacred (or however it is spelled) -- his leg...random...

I suppose the most frustrating aspect of this past week was, (aside from my poor uncle's mystery disease), my freaking car!! I have only had the damn thing since March -- and there are only 10,000 miles on it -- and they are telling me that my alignment is so incredibly bad that I need 4 NEW TIRES!!! What the hell!! After consulting my personal car expert (the hot Luis Sanchez) I became aware of the fact that it would be really hard for all 4 tires to be fucked up because it is much harder to mess with the back alignment than the front. THEN, the mechanic has the balls to tell me that I must have HIT something for the alignment to be as screwed up as it is...I beg your pardon sir, but HELL NO!! I think I would remember hitting something. AND, I am not a child...I am not going to lie about something like that -- I would take responsibility for it, if I actually hit something. So, needless to say, my parents were pissed because (naturally) if something goes wrong I MUST have been the root of the problem. Surely things don't just randomly go wrong, it must be user error, right?? URGH!!!! I have been left out of the informational loop, so to speak, regardless of the fact that it is my car, so I am not even sure when I can get it back. So, not only am I going to be in debt for 4 new tires (because I have freakishly expensive ones for some reason), but I am going to be in debt to my grandpa, who is footing the bill for me...I hate being in debt to family and/or friends...The up-side to this quandry: I am driving a pretty HOT loaner car. :)

I went to Diamond Bar last night for a joint surprise party for both of Luis's Parents. :) That was a lot of fun!! Good food, good company, good practice of translating spanish...I really need to get over this strange shyness I get when it comes to two things: foreign language and dancing...two things that I like to do -- when I am not in front of a lot of people. (That is to say unless I am hopelessly drunk for both elements -- then I am all over it!!) I don't have low self esteem or anything, but for some reason I feel really inept when it comes to both speaking spanish and dancing...I know I probably could do it if I wanted to (and I DO), but I just freeze up when I am put on the spot...ay Dios mio...

I have part of a final due tomorrow and I have spent the better part of the day trying to compose this marketing piece. I have the layouts completely done, but now I have to bullshit some copy...I am taking a break to check email and update the blog rather than tax my brain anymore...

Oh well...I guess I should do some more product research...
