that was the ending line of my horoscope, according to the newspaper anyway...
i don't know if i should follow that, or screw that and say anything is possible. isn't that what they teach you when you're young?
didn't do my improv again...ran out of time. for sure on tuesday. i better practice and be really good since i've had all this extra time to work on it.
school was fun, anyway.
the adventure i just had:
well, considering my truck isn't registered, nor do i have insurance, and it doesn't have working rear blinkers or brake lights, i decided i should at least try and fix the rear blinkers and brake lights until the bugs is up and running.
i figured out exactly what doesn't work and what bulbs work what and blah blah. so i changed the parking lights (because one didn't work and the other was really dim)...
the bulbs for the rear brake lights and blinkers is the same...so i went to take one out to have a reference just in case when i went to napa auto parts.
when i took out the lights there were like billions of ants in the socket and casing. it was gross! the bulb was all corroded and the ants were living in there. i don't know if they were eating the corrosion, but they kept gathering white balls of something from the socket.
i banged the socket against the side of the truck and lots of ants fell out. i didn't realize there were so many on the ground until i saw so many swarming around and getting on my slippas.
i left the light out dangling hoping the ants would evacuate while i rode my bike to napa's. it was a fun cruise. i got the bulbs and rode back home feeling the burn in my thighs. (not in a disgusting way...) when i got back to the sock there were even MORE ants coming out and i shook out lots and lots more, but i think i just need to replace the socket. it's probably corroded, ant eatin and destroyed by now.
i'm gonna ask joey if it's easy tomorrow. it probably is.
