I got up at 10:00 today, stopped at IHOP for breakfast on the way out of Charlotte, and was on the road to Raleigh by 11:30.
The ride back was tiresome and tedious due to the vast amount of rain, especially during the first two hours. At times, I know the visibility was less than 200 feet.
I stopped by home, dropped off my stuff, picked up my Jiffy Lube oil change coupon, and went to their station on Western Boulevard, where I had my:
- NC Inspection done (which expired in December),
- oil changed,
- transmission fluid changed, and
- radiator flushed.
At first I tried the "Papa Lou" network, which didn't connect. I was surprised to see it on the list, because though it is on the other side of the street, it is a little ways down the road. I was not surprised that it didn't connect.
I tried a general "linksys" network, and it connected! The deal!
I rode into work, where I scanned and e-mailed Mary her PD Guide, and then worked for a few hours on editing the html file for my "Sounding Gay" survey results, which I hope to do something with some time this month or semester — as in sharing them with other researches and/or getting them published.
I met Joe at Flex, where we played three or so games of pool. Chris (
zinnian) was out, too.Brigner seems to be using Show Tunes Night to exercise some of his creative talents. He had taken a clip for Sordid Lives, and spliced in scenes of the real Tammy Wynette singing, whenever Brother Boy was talking about her or singing like her.
Joe and I stopped at Shanghai Express on the way home. I got the Ginger Chicken with Green Beans, which I'd never had before, and it was out of this world. I brought home half of it for tomorrow's lunch or dinner.
