Journal time. It's almost 4 in the morning, and I've decided to stay up all night, because I have to take a damned bus to Phoenix tommorrow at 10 am. Please allow me to explain.
Friday night my roomate and I where venting our anger and homicidal urges via the PS2, when we got a phone call from a buddy of ours who does production design. He wanted to know if he could borrow some of my medical crap for props, and possibly borrow me for some extra help on a short film he's working on. I was all for it, cus I need the work. So, Saturday morning I got up, loaded my truck, and made the short drive to his apartment. It's only about 5 miles, but halfway there, my engine temp shot into the red. So I cranked up the heat, and crossed my fingers. When I arrived, I popped my hood only to see steam pouring out the top and antifreeze&water pouring out the bottom. That explained the overheating. So I handed over the props he needed, poured 2 1/2 gallons of water into my radiator, and headed home to fix my truck.
I spent most of the day yesterday trying to find the leak, but it seems to be coming from the bottom of the water pump, and there's too much stuff in the way to see if it's a hose or what. Running the engine hasn't helped me pinpoint it either, cus the fluid is hitting the crank shaft, which sends it flying all over the place.
Now, anybody who's kept up with my journal knows that I have to be in traffic court in Tempe, Arizona on Tuesday at 8:30 AM. There is no friggin way that my truck will make it 6 hours through the dessert with a leak in the cooling system. And I would be surprised if my car (a ghetto ass '90 Ford Probe) could make it 1 hour through any conditions. So... Greyhound it is. If you've ever used Greyhound on a long trip, then you understand why I'd like to sleep through the whole thing. The sad thing is, if I could afford a flight, it's only about a 45 minute trip by plane.
So, instead of working over the weekend, I wasted today watching "Kids In the Hall" on DVD, and trying my hardest to write something descent. Nothing I wrote really made any sense at all Which could have something to do with watching "Kids in the Hall".
So, two day trip to Phoenix, then I've got to find work so I can afford to fix my truck. But, I do have a little good news. While I was suffering through 4 hours at the DMV, I ran into two of the people who work in the production office for Hallmark. There's a good chance I can get work as a set medic. Now I just need to find work I actually want to do.
In conclusion, what sort of situation would require this particular emoticon
??? It's been bothering the hell out of me.
