Mowed the lawn.
Saw a movie: She's Out of My League. It was mildly amusing. Seemed like the movie was made with the sole purpose of employing a running "manscaping" joke. Also, didn't really buy the chemistry between the two leads.
Little league game...don't ask.
Watched Parenthood...losing steam? Or am I just not caring about the cliched characters. Also, watched Pacific. Slow start, will give it some time. Loved Band of Brothers.
My car. The right door stopped locking and the window stopped working. Made an appointment with the dealer. Daughter slammed the door. All was ok. Soon after "check engine light" came on. Kept appointment. It was the flux capacitor or magnutron or something. Actually, it was the air intake meter. Seriously. I think they make this stuff up.
me: do i need to fix that?
dealer: you do if you want your check engine light to go off
me: is it bad?
dealer: short term, no; long term, yes
me: well, what's it do?
dealer: you're car is running lean
me: I don't want to drive a fat car
dealer: no, it's pumping too much air in the engine and not enough gas
me: great, so I save on gas...
$630 later....$400 for the part, $200 for the labor, and $30 for a crab enchilada lunch at Javier's. (On an aside, I just love that restaurant: the food, the architecture, the architecture of the clientele.) To top it all off, when I went to pick up the kids, the door and window stopped working again. And, the window is stuck in the down position. Hope it doesn't rain again.
Haven't heard anything about the job that I am supposed to start Monday. Hope it's legit.
