but between the drinks and subtle things
Oct. 2nd, 2012 11:22 pmSunday was supposed to be a great day--I was off, Once Upon a Time was back on, and I was going to see Pitch Perfect, which is out early at one of my local theaters. But my plans got waylaid because I decided to go to church with my mom, which set off a whole chain of events that ended up throwing off the rest of my evening.
After church, we went to eat at Red Lobster. The lot was so full that we had to park around the back. Just as we were leaving, we overheard a woman saying that someone had broken into an orange car--and, sure enough, it was my mom's orange Nitro. The front passenger window was smashed in, and the thief made off with her GPS and an electric hole puncher. We were in this weird part of town that is on the border of Dallas and Duncanville, so the 911 dispatcher screwed up the first time we called and didn't notify the police right away.
It took three hours for the cops to come.
This is about the fourth time that my mom's car has been broken into down here. This is crazy.
But today was better. Slightly. I still have to prep for my portfolio review (it's mostly photographing my work from 2D design, painting, and drawing, and changing the file types for my shorts from Intro to Film and making PDFs of my scripts), but a few things have lessened the severity of this situation. First, I won a prize pack in a giveaway. Second, I discovered that someone on YouTube has uploaded pretty much every episode of Flash Forward, and since I can't have DVDs of it, this is the only way I'll be able to rewatch that show. I'd been hoping for YEARS to find it online somehow, and there it was!
And third: NANO IS COMING!
