Wow...wheels off 24 hours or so.
Worked Friday night at KPFC. We broadcast a Callisburg High School girls basketball game....EXCITING! It went by pretty quick though since Chad was there to hang out. I was supposed to teach him how to run the studio end of things in case I'm not available (and to groom him to eventually replace me, I think)...but that kinda went to shit since all the computers had been zapped by a really big power surge not long before we got there. Damn the weak power grid at Camp Sweeney. So instead, we just hung out for about an hour and a half and talked music and radio crap.
I cruised through the Sweeney gates at 2125 and hauled tail to Valley View to my Aunt Kim and Uncle Jeff's place. They got a new HDTV and satellite setup...but they have no clue how to set that kind of stuff up. That's kinda my role in the family. Anytime someone get's a new toy...be it a camera or TV or computer...it's my job to be the tech support guy.
It took longer than I thought it would...but that was just because the new satellite reciever had to be setup and it had to download some firmware updates and stuff. The actually connection of gear took me a whopping 10 minutes. I left at 2330, but not until after being given 25 bucks and a brick of my uncle's badass deer chili. Ohhhh, I can't wait to tear into that.
Got to Denton at 0015, immediately jumped into Kev's Pathfinder and we headed to Muther's where Jeffe's 21st had already been in full effect for some time. My boy completed his first Fry St. Crawl and had to endure the shots me and Cody threw his way. He took it like a champ...even when he was puking behind the bar for aboot half an hour. That a kid!
On a related note...the boy knows how to choose them. I met Aubrey for the first time Friday night and all I can say is..."Way to go, Jeff!". She's a cutie for lack of a better word. :)
While we were at the bar, I had a couple of blasters, a shot or two of something else, a Guinness, and a huge Bud Light Draft. Unfortunately, I sobered up standing in the cold waiting on Jeff to quit puking and I was definitely in a drunky mood. So when we got back to The Fountains, I pulled my handle of our old friend Captain Mo outta the car and went to town. Mind you this was at 4am.
At 0520, I was about 9 shots and 2 beers deep...feeling super. Of course, I decide it's gonna be a great idea to call Maureen. It probably wasn't...but I enjoyed it nonetheless...nothing beats drunk dialing your favorite people. She probably didn't like it though...since I kept her up 'til close to 0715. I'm sorry, Mo!
I didn't roll off the couch until almost 1615 this afternoon...Cody got home not long after. Me, Cody, and Kev went to dinner at a little Chinese place in Corinth/Hickory Creek. Not bad, not bad at all. We went to the mall and hung out with Jeff at HatWorld for a little bit...went to Hastings after that. Apparently, no one in Denton, TX sells guitar capos. Since we're a major music school...I just don't get that. Oh well.
We wound up at Kev's apt. and wound up watching this week's South Park off the TiVo. Greatest. South Park. Ever. Most offensive, vile thing I've ever seen on Comedy Central...and I LOVED it. If you haven't seen it...you need to. It's the Woodland Critter Christmas episode. Such a classic.
Anywhos, I better hit the hay. I just spent about an hour inserting files and album art into iTunes. I'm hoping I get that iPod I want for Christmas...I'm not getting my hopes up, though. No offense to Mom or anything...because she has had to help me out on my car insurance lately...but Christmas presents just suck when you get older and have sucked the last few years. Everything I want is just much more expensive...and when you have a family like mine (one that isn't poor...but when there's me, 4 siblings if you count my steps, and my niece and nephew...the Christmas fund has to go a long way), you just don't really get what you want anymore. Oh well...no worries.
Thank you Boston! We'll see you next time!
