I've got the dungeon Master's Guide. I've got a 12-sided die. I've got Kitty Pryde, and Nightcrawler too, waiting there for me, yes I do, I do. I've got posters on the wall. My favorite rock group KISS. I've got Ace Frehley, I've got Peter Criss, waiting there for me, yes I do, I do. In the garage I feel safe. No one cares about my ways. In the garage, where I belong, no one hears me sing this song. In the garage... I've got an electric guitar. I play my stupid songs. I write these stupid words, and I love every one waiting there for me, yes I do, I do.

Work has been way too productive the last couple days I need to take a break :D

I got the mp3 cd changer and it is awesome. I don't have my main computer here so my supply of mp3s is a bit limited at the moment but the thing just reaks of potential. Something about having 900 songs or so in a little thing mounted in your trunk rings so sweet.

Also, after Matt was like the eleventy-fifth person asking me "are your brights on man?" when riding in my car, I got tired of explaining that the little green symbol was to say my daytime running lights where on and not my brights. So I looked into it a bit, and it turns out that there are orginizations and large groups of people that hate the things because they are really bright and glare in people's mirrors. I guess I can understand that as they are mounted at the same angles as the brights but are a little less intense. Nonetheless they still point right in people's vision when they are trying to drive. I researched further and found that there was no evidence anywhere saying that they were an effective safty device. So I figured I disable mine if it didn't mean any permanent modifications, and if it didn't void any warrenties or anything, it turns out that it didn't do either of those things so I did it. It was kinda tricky though. I looked in the relay center under the hood and found a relay labeled "DRL" so I'm like, okay cool and yoinked it out with a pair of pliars. And that took car of the drls, that was easy I thought. It was about the time I was declairing how easy it was that I realized that now my passenger side hi-beam didn't work. I was thinking wtf? they really don't want you to turn these friggin things off. Not to be foiled that easily, I fashioned a jumper out of a piece of 16 gauge house-wire using a hammer and a pair of pliars and used it to jump the connection where my hi-beams used to run through the relay, and voila, hi-beams worked again. So now I don't have what amounts to my brights on at all times anymore.

Days are drifting by so fast to the point where I look at a calender and go, "wow, I've been working for a month already..." it's almost scary, almost.
