One Of Those Days.

Soundtrack of the day: "The Best of David Bowie" (thanks Giaxia)
So I got a ticket outside the house for parking on a day when they "cleaned the street." But the signs weren't up yesterday when I parked. It's a scam. I just paid a previous one this week! They write tickets for breathing in this city.
Then I took my CD recorder (Tascam CD-RW700) to Midwest to see if they could fix it. I had a CD stuck in the tray and it wouldn't come out. I'm figuring the job is about $35. Just remove the disc. Nothing was wrong with it otherwise. The guy calls me back and says that this diode is out, and that diode isn't getting power, blah blah blah. Bottom line: $65 minimum, $99 maximum. Fuck, for $75 more, I could buy a whole new one off eBay. So he got the stuck CD out, and I'm just having him close it up and give the shit back. God knows if it'll even record now. He probably sabotaged it.
Oh, and did I tell you my e-mail is down for the second day in a row? Server problems. At least when I had AOL you could always get your mail. You couldn't fucking SIGN ON, but when you could, dammit, your mail was there. And I haven't been able to access my info@alanoldham.com address in months. Why? Who knows?
For the next couple of days, make contact at: aoldham227@earthlink.net if you need to get a hold of me.
All this and I haven't even had lunch yet. I'm starved. Plus I feel a cold coming on. Giaxia had one, and her brother was coughing, now I'm getting sick. I can't be around sick people, man. I'm about to get like Howard Hughes, if you've got germs, stay away.
I'm staying in the house for the rest of the day, I don't care how nice it is out there.
