Hulk Angry!!!

So, I finally got back to Appleton. Family reunion was essentially a bunch of drunk people I didn't know. How fun! So... now... I got to Appleton cleaned out my car and then David called. Then I three-wayed in Curtis and we decided to go to IHOP. Well, I was going to pick everyone up, so a few minutes later I drove over and picked up Curt. Then off to David's we went. Arrived at David's, shut the car off, and went in to find him. He put up an away message and we were off. Well, almost. Went outside, got in the car, and when I turned the key, it just turned over.. and over and over and over. But wouldn't fire. Well, isn't that great. So then after we screw around with it for a bit I called my Uncle, he came over to David's for a good 2 hours. Nothing. So... we left it at Davids and took his van and went and did stuff. That was last night, but now today... I called up my insurance company, and towing is covered, so there's a little good news in all of this. I got the car towed from David's over the Bergstrom's, the car dealership where I bought the car. As the situation currently stands, that's where the car is, and I'm waiting to hear back from them. The guy that I talked to thought it was the fuel pump, in which case, depending on what model I have, he figured would cost around $580. How nice. So, who knows what's happening with it now, I just hope it gets fixed so I can still make it down to Des Moines on wednesday. Everything that's happened since Saturday has just seemed surreal. Sort of like an out of body experience. It's weird. So anyway... All of the money I got for my b-day is now going to my car. Oh well, life goes on, just pisses me off... Have a nice summer!

EC in the summertime..

In theory it's a good idea. No parents, lot's of money from work. Take some extra credits. WRONG! The reality of it all is that until the two of my room mates that are staying for the summer return, I'm going to be bored out of my mind! I've looked in the fridge like 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I watched a movie that was a good way to kill a couple hours, but I just keep thinking, until I start class monday, what can I do in my spare time?? So, any ideas, let me know. Let's see what you guys can come up with, just post them as comments, it'll be a game. We'll see who can come up with the best idea for what Ryan should do when he's bored. Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!
