- Sleep........... 2002-06-02 05:27:18 I'm exhausted, I should be sleeping right now! WTF am I doing up! Akon is just draining my life force. So many things to do, so little time. 'PFS!' was finally shown in a public forum (Hentai fest) and reviews were lukewarm and mixed. All questions shall be answered in the doc ^_^...
- Akon AMV mini report... 2002-06-01 12:53:41 We had the newbie panel and saw the AMV contest showings yesterday. I was honestly shocked that Liquid Petals made the final 44 since the quality of it is not that great. Transfering a 705kbps WMV file to VHS must have been a pain in the ass and I owe Jonathan (Adiamante) bigtime for taking the time to do it. It really looked pretty decent on the big screen and the audio was great considering some other videos were given serious audio problems (sorry Wonka) due to bad equipment management. It's about time for me to head back to the con, so I'll give a more detailed report of things later.
- D'oh!!!... 2002-05-31 03:22:01 I meant we watched the unedited Ushicon doc! My bad, blame it on the Tequila. -_-;;; Must sleep....
- YAAY!!!!!.... 2002-05-31 01:50:56 The eve of Akon is upon us and me, Jonathan and Machine celebrated by getting drunk and watching the undedited version of the Akon doc. I've had about 6 glasses of Tequila and Dr. Pepper and my truck woes are slowly fading away. ^_^ Tomorrow should be a good day as we actually hit the con and do stuff. I'm wasted but we already have the early stages of the next con shot. Oh happy day. ^_^

AbsoluteDestiny: I had a nice detailed 2 hour's worth of review on 'Shameless Rock Video' all ready to hit save on when I made the silly mistake of trying to pull up Sunstar Office Word Proccessor to spellchck with. KABOOM!!! Freeze up before I can save it to Notepad! >_< I'm gonna redo it but it might be a few days before I can muster up the enegy to write up a review as good as the one I had. Sorry about that. :( Damn E-Machine!!! And now onto my night of 05/29/02...
I hate my crappy truck!!! Last night while trying to leave work, the damn starter decides to crap out on me. Okay, good thing I have Sears Motor Club towing so I can get this thing to a repair shop. I call in for a tow around 10:45pm and patiently wait for the guy to arrive as the Sears lady said it would take around 30 minutes. 30 minutes passes and I say "Well, they might be caught in some kind of traffic or something" and wait some more. 11:30pm rolls around with no truck in sight. I decide to recall the towers and find out what's going on. The dispatcher says the driver got caught in traffic (at 11:30 at night?) but should be there any minute now. I decide to patiently wait some more and not blow a fuse as I would have normally done for something like this. 12:10am now rolls around and with no tow truck in sight. A co-worker/buddy comes out after his shift ends and sees me outside pacing the sidewalk. I ask to borrow his cell phone and he graciously lets me. I call the towing company back and the dispatcher says, "The driver was there but says he didn't see anyone, so he took off". WTF!!!! I've been waiting outside for almost an hour and a half with no fucking tow truck so much as passing by!!! This idiot obviously went to the wrong fucking place!! I gave the Sears lady the exact address, do tow truck drivers not use fucking Mapsco!!! I said, "Okay, what's done is done, just get that fucking idiot back out here so I can go home.". She says, "Well, we need to get back in touch with Sears to have a new PO issued for this tow. Give him another 30 minutes to get back over there.". Another fucking 30 minutes!!! Alright, nothing I can do to make this speed up any faster so I say, "Alright, just please make sure he comes to the right location this time.". We reach 1:00am, still no tow truck, luckily for me my buddy (I owe you bigtime Saul) decides to hang out with me till the truck arrives and even makes a quick run to Taco Bell for me since I hadn't eaten since 12:30pm that afternoon. I call back to the tow company at 1:15 and ask what the deal is. The same dispatcher anwers and says, "The driver is sitting in the parking lot waiting for you right now.". WTF!!! I'm right next to my fucking truck now!!! Where the fuck did you send this guy!!! Luckily, the dispatcher had the driver on CB and I'm able to walk the moron through to where I'm at. Apparently, no one ever told the guy I was at the Banctec building (something I told the original Sears operator to begin with and the tow dispatcher on my second call in). The guy was parked on the wrong side of the street and had been circling a shopping center parking lot for the last 10 minutes. The driver finally shows at around 1:20am and my buddy takes off after me promising him a few beers the next time we go out. You would think the tale gets happier from here right? Fuck no!!! The driver pulls up to my crappy Ford Bronco II and says, "I think this is too big to pull with my truck, you need a flat bed tow truck." WTF!!! I told every fucking person I talked to what kind of fucking truck I had!!! You have to be kidding me!!! The driver says, "Luckily, there is a flat bed driver coming down this way and he can go ahead and take care of you.". I said, "That may be so but you're not leaving till that fucker gets here dude. I've been sitting out here since 10:45pm (it's around 1:30pm now) and I'm not gonna wait out here another hour without a cell phone and hope the guy can find the place this time. The guy agrees to wait after giving me a speech about how his mother is in the hospital and he really has to leave. I have a feeling this was the eason he didn't wan't to tow my truck in the first place since I've seen my truck towed with a truck as small as his before. 10 minutes later (after some directions from the driver via CB), the second driver with the flat bed truck makes it to the scene. The first driver leaves after apoligizing for not having the right truck and the second driver gets me locked and loaded. The tow runs pretty smooth until we get to some railroad tracks conveniently fitted with a stalled train. >_< This time I was too worn out and tired to get upset and this was actually not the tow company's fault for a change. After about 10 minutes, the train finally gets going and we make it to the car repair shop near my apartment around 2:00. We leave my truck there in preparation for it being fixed in the morning and he takes me about 3 blocks to my apartment complex. Then the guy has the nerve to say he's not gonna charge for the extra mileage it took to get to my place. WTF!!! This guy was lucky I was too tired to blow a fuse and angrily remind him of the amount of hours I waited. I get home, post in my journal and sleep. Today rolls around and I end up having to call out sick for work since I have no fucking ride. I walk over to the Firestone I left the truck at the night before and give up my keys for them to work on it. A few hours ago they determined it was a bad starter (what a fucking revelation!) and say they'll be happy to replace it for about 200 bucks. *sigh!!!* I don't have much room to argue since I can't just have it towed somewhere else again. I relent and that's where we stand now, with them working on the truck as we speak. Fortunately, things can only get better from here with the coming of AKon and Machine and Jonathan coming down to visit. I just hope my truck is ready in time for my return to work on Tuesday without any uneccessary charges tacked on.
