FFS #62: It's Lemon Juice, I Assure You

What a week.

Sorry that there haven't been any updates in a while. It's been kind of hectic around here. Last week was jam packed full of stuff. Not all good, not all bad.

The week kind of kicked off with the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, which I more than happily picked up, and played for several hours the night it came out, and the following morning before work. I have since logged many hours playing this game, and it's a must have for any 360 or PS3 owners. One of the best games ever created, if you ask me.

Aside from that, Thursday was Gigantour, which was a great show, but I would have been just as happy if it was only In Flames and Megadeth, as the other three bands just didn't do it for me. Whether it was having the same guitar breakdown and musical flow for every song, a la High on Fire, or the not-so-good music of Children of Bodom, or the groaning that replaced lyrics in Job For a Cowboy's show, there were just things that kind of made me go:

"Meh."

But In Flames brought their own light show with them, and played some awesome fucking music, and Megadeth brought their a-game, playing louder than the last time, and they actually played almost twice as long, as well. They played songs that most Megadeth fans would have forgotten about. It was epic.

After that, it was Iron Man on Friday. The movie was brilliant. The best comic book movie to date. This is due, mostly, to the excellent casting choice in making Robert Downey Jr. the film world's Iron Man. He nailed his performance, and no one could have done any better. And if you go to see it, wait until after the credits. Mace Windu unleashes some super-awesome shit.

Now, I've gone this far without mentioning the car. Weird, eh? Most people seem to have pointed out that my excitement seemed very minimal for getting a car on the road. I didn't know it then, but I had good reason to not get overly excited.

The car was to be ready for Thursday, for me to drive to London. They found out that the car needed a new muffler, and it wouldn't be ready in time. Fuck. Whatever, I took my parent's car.

They were then hopeful for it to be on the road for Friday, when I got back. I get into town, and I found out that the guy who was supposed to do the safety fucked off, and it wouldn't be safetied until next week. Shit.

Yesterday, I find out that the car needed wheel bearings, or it would be unsafe to drive, so that is another snag, but I'm okay with it, as it is needed. The estimated date of me getting the car: Monday or Tuesday.

This morning, I find out the wheel bearings have been installed, but while this was being done, it was determined that the breaks would need to be replaced. Estimated time of car: Tuesday, or later.

Fuck. So That's the story of the car. The first and only time I'm going in depth, because it's a piss-off.

By the way, the title lies. It really is pee.
