COLD!!!

For the past week, it has been 12 degrees!!!!! At night, 14 when we wake up and today we have gotten a high of 33 degrees. A pipe in our kitchen froze last night, so nothing was going down the drain, and it was going all over the kitchen floor. But it defrosted by this afternoon.

Transiberian Orchestra Concert

I went to see the Transiberian Orchestra at the Arco Arena In Sacramento. It, was, AWESOME!!!!! The singers, the music, the hot guitar player.... They had pyrotechnics with flames shooting into the air and fire works! We had floor seats so we were really close, I was six seats away from the isle where the band members would go running by randomly. I had lots of fun and the band had lots of fun too. Oh and there was a snow machine so our section of the audience got snowed on. A kid in the front got a guitar signed by the whole band. It was cool.

Grandpa is staying with us right now...might kick Nancy out of her room, which means she will stay in the room will both me and Jacquie...which give us a great excuse to clean out the basement, seal up the floor and move down there.

I did a little experiment the other day, I got a gummy worm and put it in a bowl of cold water too see what would happen. A few hours later I got the results and it was cool.

JOB!!! *happy dance*

I have a job, through RUSH up here, at the road department. I wake up at 5:15 a.m. to be there before 6:30, and I get off at 5:00 p.m. Flagging, mowing along the road, and maintaining the trucks and equipment is what I have helped on. I have done some flagging in the heat, and in the chilly morning. I have helped change oil and filters, grease the joints, check the brakes...start the big dump truck. ^_^

Today unfortunately, my coveralls sleeve got snagged by the oil spigot and I ended up pumping oil down the sleeve, which I didn't notice until it spilled down my side. So my pants and shirts got covered in oil. I had to go home and change, wipe off so the oil didn't burn me, and get the cloths into the tub with dish soap, to try to get the oil out before it could ruin my cloths.

I also started learning how to drive a stick shift today. They had me practicing in one of their Ford F-350 diesel trucks...one without a plow on the front. ... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kinda don't like a stick shift. I did okay, but I just don't like it, maybe because the clutch was so hard to push in, I actually got it down pretty good, but I really don't like it when there are people behind me or around me. I want to be more used to driving a stick before trying around in town. I only was driving for 20-25 minutes.

But all that aside, I really like my job. Really.

Pics and stuff

Well, this is what happened to the basement over the weekend... thursday...lastweek sometime. And my car -_-

1st Car Accident

Hello there, about an hour ago I got into my first car accident. I backed into a tree going somewhere around 5-10 miles an hour. The tire on the back shoved in the back door and busted out the rear window. No bumper damage and I am fine, except for being very mad at myself for doing something so stupid. My poor car, I called my mom and had a good cry but I am fine.

Movies

I went to the showing of Subject B-5 Friday night at the local coffee shop. It had a good story, the camera work was a little shaky (but hey this is a movie done in Trinity County, on practically no money) and the sound needed some work but I liked it. It was worth the late nights and cold we had to deal with, not to mention all the fake blood that was splattered all over us multiple times. You can see the trailer on youtube by clicking on the above link.

Last night I went to see Star Trek and it was AWESOME!!! We are so getting it when it comes out on DVD. I personally haven't been able to see lots of Star Trek, but I know enough to get all the little hints here and there from the show.

I learned last night that there was a scene after the credits of X-Men Origins Wolverine, one that I missed. So I will just have to go back and see it again, oh pity me. ^_^ (I think I spelled something wrong again.)

So yeah, look at the trailer, there was a rumor that they were going to put the movie up on Youtube as well, but they are trying to sell DVDs of the movie as well. So I don't know.

May Flowers and Showers

Well, weeks ago when we were slaving away in the garden, it was hot and sunny, then as soon as we start getting stuff planted and growing, it drops to 34 degrees and RAINS for most of the week. Oh well, I like the rain.

I had gone to see the midnight showing of X-Men Origins Wolverine, where i saw Nancy's boyfriend dressed as Logan, and another friend as Remy. I do not have a pic of Remy, he ran out of the theatre before I could get a pic.

We had some good flowers out on the trees, just a bit of random information, and an excuse to put more pictures up.

Kitten gave us another kill yesterday, a bird, this is her third one. The first the mouse, then a moth (she carried up to the door and left it for us so it counts) and now the bird, she is becoming such a good hunter, she even shared with Nelly.
