And Then... There Was Nothing

let me say this and let me say it quickly. today was about as easy as they come. of course i can't think of too much that would rival the week before exams, but i really would consider today to be easy. i went in to work today and my boss wasn't there so we just went around doing mundane tasks because we didn't know what we were supposed to do. an hour later we all went home and i went back to bed. i suppose at around two i arose, ate lunch, and went to hang out with scott for a little while. we played some games and watched a movie and then i noticed my car was making a clicking noise which i thought might have something to do with my oil, so i went to get all the tools required for an oil change. well... about $8 later i was ready to get started, but not before dinner... anyways, i started out clean as a whistle and ended up almost drenched head to toe with oil. why, might you ask? oh, i'll tell you. it's because nathan has a hard time doing something right the first time. i changed my oil and almost capped it all of to go inside when what happens? i overfilled the oil. this is one of the worst things you could probably do to a car. i'm serious, it's right up there with driving down a one way street the wrong way in a busy city at rush hour with two tanks of gas in the back seat while talking on your cell phone. so what did i do? i got back under the car and went about draining some of the oil. if only it were that easy though. see, i didn't consider that the oil would have heated up in such a short time, but i was wrong. not only did i drop the plug in to two gallons of oil, but when i tried to put the plug back in so i didn't waste all of the oil, not only was my hand was scalded but i drenced my shirtless body in hot oil. okay, not fun! after this little humerous episode i realised that i only had two quarts of oil left, and it was far too late to go to the auto store to get any more. so i begged ben to take me up to the gas station so i could get some more, and of course theirs is rediculously high priced, but i got it anyways. when i got back, i filled it up and it was finally finished. clean up was a little messy. i dropped my oil soaked keys in the sand and that was ugly. i also got oil all over my flip-flop and foot and it got sandy too. a shower seemed in order after all this had taken place, and then some cups-o-noodles. that was pretty much my day. hope tomorrow is as exciting. peace and love
