  • Slumdog

    Today I woke up around 11am. Tried purposely to sleep in late so that I can pre-adjust my body for Korea. Only going to be there for 1 week so I want to make sure I'm in good shape the whole time I'm there. Around 3pm I went to church for setup. Still not comfortable setting stuff up by myself but Quinn was there. After setup I filled in as technical director. I did alright...no big mistakes. Can't be said for the video people because the teen halloween video that showed during rehearsal did not show during Sunday service. Something went wrong, and I have a feeling that someone's really going to "hear" it. After that I went home and watched the end of Slumdog Millionaire. Totally took me back to the time I first watched the movie in the theater. The movie was so moving I don't think anyone in the theater had a dry eye.

  • car accident

    RAIN SUCKS!!!!

    I rear ended someone last night on my way home in the rain. The work van in front of me slammed on his breaks to avoid hitting a bus. I slammed on mine, and as though my wheels were covered with butter or something, I went sliding into his rear end. He hardly had a scratch, but my front end was all crunched up. AHHHHH!!! My poor baby. My first love. My wife didn't seem to really care...in fact she was like...yeah das right...move over now, cuz I'm tired of being number 2.

    I dread having to call the insurance company. This is where I'm hoping my deductibles aren't too high. I forgot how much I set them at.

  • spiders

    I had a very disturbing dream last night. I was with an old friend of mine Mark Kim and we were headed to Yoko Ono's daughter's place. Apparently they were friends or something. As soon as we got there, an exhausted Mark immediately snoozes on the couch. I start cleaning up when one of the Quo Vadis kids comes in and wakes Mark up...then just like that he gets paged since he's on call and leaves immediately. I continue cleaning up with the Swiffer picking up layers of thick thick dust. I'm being very careful not send the dust all over the place, however while cleaning up I noticed that the hallow Swiffer broomstick was partially broken near the base. There appeared to be thick carpetting or something of that nature coming out of it. On closer inspection I realized it was dead baby spider. It freaked the heck out of me because at this point they were all over my clothes and arms.

    Then when my brother came over I jokingly told him to clean up too, and to my surprise he walked over to pick up the Swiffer. I quickly told him I was kidding and insisted that he not clean up, but it was already too late, he picked up the Swiffer and started to clean. I told him it had spiders all over it and then he paused and took a closer look, and he too freaked out. At this point I think the spiders in the rest of the broomstick were alive and coming out. I remember feeling my skin and having bumps all over, because they had already began to bite me.

    Oh what a disturbing dream. For me it's like a scene out of Aliens and being surrounded by those little spider things. Ick!!!

  • replacing brake pads

    So last year I replaced my front brake pads. I think it took me a couple of hours. Last night I tried to replace my rear brake pads which is a little harder because of the emergency brakes. While trying to push the piston back into the caliper with a C-clamp, my brother gave me the wonderful advice of pumping the brakes first. I still don't know the rationale, but he told me he was "sure". I took his advice and started pumping while he watched. He told me to stop and when I came over, the piston had popped out of the cylinder. Just then we had a lightning storm and a few drops of rain. I thought I was screwed at that point and was looking to call my road side assistance to have them tow it and repaired by "professionals". My brother made a few calls and figured out what to do. Debby's brother dropped by and was able to help me us too. Somehow my brother was able to get the piston back in and I successfully changed one set of brake pads. I still have to do the other side though tonight.

  • rear ended

    on my way from work to Brian's I was driving through Annandale and was following closely behind someone in traffic. I took my eyes off the car in front and in that instant had to slam on my brakes hard to avoid rear ending the car in front of me. I thought wow that was awefully close, then a fraction of a second later I get rear-ended.

    Picked up some Peruvian chicken for the parents. They seemed to think it was okay. They definitely liked the Indian food we got for them on Saturday much better.
