Shattered Faith

I’m starting to get a little pissed off here. The other day the right speaker in my earbuds decided to shit out on me. I don’t think the PX has any ones that go in ear, so I’m assed out for the time being. I ordered some two days ago from a third party seller on Amazon but they have yet to ship them out. Even worse a few days ago the DVD drive on my laptop took a gigantic crap. It makes a loud clicking noise like it’s trying its damnedest to read a disc, but it never does. This is the second problem I’ve had with this machine so far. Needless to say I’m none too pleased. I should have just paid the extra for a macbook in hindsight. At least I know I’ll be getting a quality machine. I guess this will teach me not to jump on brand new technology. It either sucks, or they drop the price by $200 a week later HELLO IPHONE.

I’m starting to get things rolling for my departure. I’ve emailed the Hyundai dealership and they’ve ordered the car I requested, stating it *should* be waiting for me upon my return. I think I’ll look on Google for some tips on haggling for new cars. I also need to figure out what I’m going to do with my old one. I’d get brutally raped trading it in. If my Aunt’s son in law doesn’t want it nor my friend I guess I can try Craiglist. Today I also emailed my school to see about getting back in for the fall semester. I forgot the place is changing campuses. The new one is bigger and nicer, but the other one was so close to home that I could drive there and back between classes. Unless I have a relatively large break during my schedule I don’t think it’ll be a possibility. Plus I’ll miss it’s closeness to WaWa. DAMNIT. I have to fill out some form and submit it to the VA to get the new GI Bill, so it looks like it’s still on track for an August rollout. I’ve read that they’ll also be accepting more low income people to be covered via VA health care. It’s better than nothing, and I have no other alternatives until Herr Obama and CO come out with some kind of reform. I’m not holding my breath though. Even if they do have some kind of reform, I don’t see it changing anything drastically.

Last night I got bored so I decided it was a good a time as any to scrub down the shower. I scrubbed it all good then started rinsing it out. Now my shower has drained notoriously slow since I arrived here. My missing-since-November-roomate was always the supposed culprit, due to his mane of horse hair. The clogged drain was pissing me off more than usual so I stuck a Q-tip in there to see what kind of gold I could find. It was pretty gross. I glanced about the bathroom for any other bright ideas and then I spotted the plunger. Not expecting it to do much, I plopped it on top of the drain and started pumping. 3 seconds later I’m hit in the face by the god awful stench of death as the shower erupts like a volcano of viscous black goop. It was pretty gross. Unfortunately here was the bad part of my plan: I didn’t have a second part to it. I have a shower full of disgusting disgustingness and nothing to clean it up with. The drain was still clogged, and I had no paper towels or anything. I wet and sponge, kind of folded it like you do when you pick up dog poop and went for the drain. I felt a little resistance then a huge spool of horse hair came out. It was pretty gross. Luckily after I removed it the fetid*** water started to drain. I re-cleaned and rinsed the shower and all was well. Why I waited until less than two weeks before my departure to do this I haven’t the foggiest.
