OK, so I promised you all like a big post on Friday and never really delivered. Sorry. I got sidetracked going out to see Hidalgo and watching a 7 hour documentary about Myth on PBS. Whatever. I’m here for you now, my babies!

So anyway, driving into work Friday morning was HELL. It was snowing real wet snow and the roads were damn slippery. Definitely the worst driving conditions I’ve ever been in. So to start out I’m going down Pine Valley and although I’m only going about 35 mph things are going pretty good. Then I have to turn out onto Route 7. I make my left hand turn and then…just keep on turning. I end up doing a 270 with the car pointed in the exact opposite direction I’m trying to go. Luckily no one was coming just then, or there could have been some big problems. Since I was right in front of a Ford dealership what I did was pull into their parking lot, turn around, and try again. If I couldn’t make the turn this time I would take it as fate telling me to head right the fuck back up the road and go home. Luckily I made the turn without a hitch.

The drive up was still horrible though. It took me almost twice as long to get to Manchester and I was nervous as hell the whole way up. My hands were just locked around the steering wheel in the ten and two positions. I must have fishtailed two dozen times. It was just awful driving, with me cursing nature the whole way up. At about the halfway point I cursed the snow gods and sheer determination said that I would make it to work safe and sound just to spite them. Take that snow bitches, I even got to work on time!

Work at Bose is good. Friday was my last real training day. Starting this week I’m working just Friday, Saturday, Sunday and I’ll actually have to know what I’m doing now. I should be nervous, but I’m not really. It’s fun work, and I should do fine. I’ve never really been in there when it’s been “busy” though, so I should hold my tongue and wait to see what happens. The first week of April I get 40 hours though, which is going to be sweet! I get time and a half for that. I should be racking in some big bucks then.

You all know the Darkness song, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”? The crazy chorus of that song has been playing over and over in my head, and I LOVE it. I hate hair metal, but I totally want to go out and buy that CD.

Because of all of the hot/cold weather of late the windshield of my car developed a crack that grew little by little over the past weeks. Then during last Friday’s storm the crack got HUGE and spread across most of the bottom of the windshield. Today my dad and I took it in to get fixed, and thank God my dad’s insurance covered all of it. After the tire fiasco I couldn’t afford to pay 200 bucks for a new windshield and then buy new tires this summer.

At work we just got in some Freestyle surround sound systems, which are pretty much the 3-2-1, but without the media center (want to know more? Go to Bose.com). It was originally designed for video game players, which was kind of moronic on their parts, because what gamer after paying two hundred bucks for a system and then fifty bucks a game wants to then go out and pay $400 plus for some speakers? Needless to say they didn’t sell too hot, and should have been sold more generally for people who already had DVD players and whatnot.

The Freestyle system is pretty much two speakers (which actually have two speakers inside of them each for true surround sound) and a woofer. It sounds great, and is designed to play 5.1 audio with only two speakers. I’m seriously lacking in the surround sound area on my TV (the speakers are already audibly humming because I have to turn them up so loud to hear DVDs) and I can get a Freestyle for only 300 bucks with 6 months no interest financing with payments. So I can pretty much pay the whole thing off at only about 50 bucks a month. It’s not really the greatest timing, since I just started working and don’t really have that much access money to throw around, but I really want to bring these home. I’m conflicted folks, and I don’t know what to do.

SNL was HILARIOUS Saturday. The sight of Kelly Ripa wielding a meat cleaver in Thailand had me laughing so fucking hard.

I didn’t really like the commercials for it, but Wonderland is actually really good and the perfect show for right after Joan of Arcadia. It’s just like Joan, only a whole lot more fucked up. Foxified if you will.

Cracking Up is funny, but not really. Definitely not Arrested Development funny. That show is awesome.

I loved Average Joe. I loved even more Average Joe Hawaii. Now Average Joe: Adam Returns looks to be giving me even more Joe goodness. Can an Average Joe fall for the Average Jill? I can’t wait to find out.

Entertainment Weekly this week has an article on Kylie, with even more hot photos for me to ogle. I am too happy.

To my surprise and perhaps everyone else’s, I actually really love Beyonce’s CD. Besides the groan worthy Luther Vandross ballad the whole thing is just awesome.
