adventure

so we're chillin', listening to the iPod as we drive to campus. i'm getting carsick...happens sometimes, just needed air. we drive drive drive...drive along the freeway...drive along the lakefront...drive up the hill to campus. and we find a nice parking spot..don't even have to parallel to get in, just need to pull in behind the other car...just need to SLOW DOWN and pull in behind the other car...just need to SLOW DOWN BRAD AND WATCH OUT FOR THAT F***IN CURB and pull in behind the other car. well, we pulled in behind the other car...after doing some major damage to the curb with my front passenger side tire. i nearly hit the roof of the car...poor shocks...he didn't mean to hurt you like that. so, we look incase the curb did damage back. and it did...a nice 3-inch gash in my new tire...unrepairable gash...in my new tire. we do our campus stuff: get food, wait for brad to make sound recordings for a project. we go back to the car and put the spare on. get advice from my mom to go to bayshore mall - much closer than brookfield or greenfield, and there's a sear's auto center. we drive carefully and slowly to bayshore...lots of tailgaters (but i was driving the speed limit). sears says "sorry, none in stock....brookfield has two." not looking forward to driving all the way out to brookfield on a spare, since can't really take the freeway at top speed, best not to take it at all (too much construction at this time...bad for the spare). take capitol drive from glendale to brookfield...long long drive. got to the mall, got my tire taken care of. told me i needed a coolent flush...sure, why the hell not, it's only another $70. brad pays for $50 of the total cost, i pay the rest. come home and crash asleep. at least i found some gray socks.
