well my day just got 1000 times better...

new car

all i can say is 30+ mpg! ... because after driving my explorer around, and especially after driving my dad's f150 around this past month, i am SO excited to be in a little car that gets good gas mileage. i just hope this little dodge proves to be a reliable car over the next few years.

a long wild night

i cant believe the all star game went as long as it did. it ran 15 long innings and was really only inches away from going more. after having multle plays at the plate and after stranding multiple runners in scoring position, justin morneau of the twins was finally able to slip by brian mccann's tag at home and score the winning run. i found it all pretty exciting...though i probably would have gone to bed if the game would have gone into the 16th. i mean, the game was only like 10 min shy of lasting 5 hours. pretty crazy for an all star game. like i said though, it was all pertty exciting for me and i actually enjoyed watching the entire game. the pitching was dominant, the hits and homeruns came at key times, and the drama of sitting through inning after inning, though tiring, was still very suspensful...especially since terry francona was out of bench players and was exteremly limited on how long he could pitch his final reliever (who he was forced to put in the game at the top of the 15th). im sure all of the american league dugout was starting to wonder what they were going to do if the game went in to the 16th, 17th, or 18th innings. maybe francona could have gotten a field player to come in and try his hand at pitching...or maybe bud selig would have been forced to call the game a tie or something (which would not have been cool...baseball is not soccer). anyway, despite being long, i thought the all star game was overall pretty enjoyable to watch.

boom!

so i got in a wreck a week ago. goodbye red explorer and hello new car...wherever you are. i got hit as i was turning through an intersection as the light was turning red. luckily the other driver got away with only scratches and i came away with just a headache. right now im just waiting on allstate to figure everything out but i kind of wish it would all just be over with and buttoned up. im tired of wondering how it will turn out. i guess allstate is still debating over whos at fault since the light was turning red. hopefully i wont end up being liable...or at least be given shared liability. we'll see, ill be fine with whatever as long as i feel im being dealt with fairly.

coybin

check it out, this is my nephew corbin. he's been real fun to have in town.

update

what better way to celebrate having staci and coybin (aka corbin) in town than by buying a new wii game! thats right, yesterday me, stacer, and coybin decided to put a couple of best buy gift cards to good use and buy guitar hero! its definiately a pretty sweet game. i had only played it one time before so you know it was fun to rock the joint with staci for a little bit...not to say that coybin wasnt giving us sufficient entertainment though. that little guy is so cool...ill have to post some pictures of him when i get a chance.

oh yeah!

thats right...guess who just won tickets to the "80's regeneration tour" at his work party! you know im gonna be kickin it with flock of seagulls, the human league, abc, belinda carlisle, and naked eyes. (dont worry, i had to look up some of these guys on the internet to know who they were) oh yeah, this is gonna rock!
