Saturday Night/Sunday Morning

Hoo-boy.

Totally F'd in the A

This is unbelievable. I have again (AGAIN) become the victim of another car accident. Again (AGAIN) completely not my fault.

I'm driving along Campbell rd Saturday afternoon when a youngster in a honda something lost control while attempting to stop on a side street. Instead of stopping his car slid on a patch of ice and t-boned my back passenger-side tire. I tried to swerve out of his way, but wasn't fast enough. The impact pushed me into the oncoming traffic lanes (luckily no cars were coming) and spun me around 360 degrees. I came to rest on someone's front lawn.

I sat in an ambulance for a few minutes, but didn't go to the hospital. My neck is sore and I'm angry. It's nice that no one really got hurt, but holy shit. The tire took a direct hit and I can't tell if the frame or axle is messed up, hopefully it isn't totaled. Again my only recourse is to get $500 from the kid's insurance company (the $500 check from the other douchebag's insurance company came last week). Has anyone ever heard of a person getting hit three times in two months?

Fuck...

this.

Foo Foo

Hi! Shawn, Tanya, and I enjoyed the "Foo Fighters" show at Joe Louis a couple of nights ago. I have to say that I enjoyed their power riffs. Tanya thinks Dave Grohl is dreamy (see pic below). The opening band was Serj Tankian (sp?). He was kind of goofy; prancing around in a white top-hat. Otherwise he sucked.

Dog Friends

Chelsea has one friend: the Terski's dog Aiden. We walked over to heff's house yesterday and watched them run around. Here's video proof of their friendship...

Detroit Tigers-related Announcement

Pops Everett and I have purchased a 27-game Saturday package. Section 114, Row 37. SEE YOU IN THE D!

Updates...

- Jackie told me that the Kalamazoo Court System sent her a restitution check. I like that.

- My stupid car thing is still unresolved. Per Michigan's no-fault law, my only recourse is to take the guy to small claims court and get $500, which won't even come close to covering the repairs. Even though I was sitting at a fucking red light and he ran into me. So, if that's the case I'm going to send the guy an e-mail and see if he'll pay for my repairs. He probably won't, the dikbag. Who drives like that? My car wasn't moving. I was sitting at a red light!

- Our backsplash tile came in. Here's a couple pictures. We'll put it in next weekend. Right Mom?

Sharp.

It was pizza night here. Bye for now.

Vehicular Douchebaggetry

I got into my second car accident of 2008 tonight. The first was minor: a few weeks ago I was sitting behind a guy that was fucking around in his car when the red light turned green. A few seconds later the jackass behind me decided to go and rammed me. My car wasn't damaged, but her mercedes was pretty messed up.

Today I was leaving work and a total douche clipped the front of my driver's side. I was sitting at a red light (again) waiting to turn right on a one-way out my work parking lot. This 48 year old salt n pepper head in a black sentra raced up behind me, swerved to the left of me, then turned too sharp in front of me, tearing a fucking hole in my car. It was the kind of move I would have made when I was 16, but I wouldn't have hit anyone.

Peep the damage:

Pistons

Oh, hey. Hi! How are you? The game was fun last night. We saw Al at the Post for a pre-game dinner and drinks. It was a good game, too. Tanya's favorite parts were the explosions during the introductions and the many alley-oop plays.

That Brezec dude is a weirdo. He's constantly stretching on the scorer's table, rubbing his hammy, having his chest massaged by Arnie Kander, and icing himself down with strange contraptions. All this in preparation for two minutes of garbage time. I'd be a sweet twelfth man -- if only I were a foot taller. That lucky son of a bitch.

Here's a video/photo montage, complete with sophisticated jazz soundtrack.

Back to the kitchen

The camera battery charger was located so we're back in business. There is still much work to do. We need to finish painting (painting, always painting or thinking about painting), finish the trim and floor, add a couple more drawers and shelves, and do the backsplash. Here are pics from tonight.

New table and chairs.

Organized drawer, perfect for grabbing just the right cooking utensil.

Water.

I won pistons tickets at the work raffle today. Little T-martin and I will attend friday night vs the jailblazers. GO TEAM!

Later, brah

Today I've posted a few pics from my brother's family going-away party from last Saturday. According to the hostess (mom), "there were 87 people - 13 of them kids - of those 13, 11 were under 5!!" Anyhoo, I didn't take many pics as I was too busy drinking rum punch and red stripes. We'll see you down in Pencilcola soon.
