Unfortunate but....

First off, I'd like to apologize for how badly written this is, I'm listening to music while writing it.

Last night on our way home from watching Oddsac at Miqueas's house, Allie and I ran out of gas. We came to the stop sign here and couldn't take off again. So i got out and told the cars behind us to go around and stuff then called home and told my mom the situation. She was pissed, as I expected. So after about 10 minutes of listening to NPR and telling people to go around my parents arrived with a gas can. But, when trying to start it up again, the car wouldn't start because the battery was dead. Lovely. We took Allie and my mom then went back with jumper cables. Just as we were getting back to the car, it was being towed. So we followed the tow truck to the impounding lot and they were closed so we had to come back today, jump it and pay $70.

Pretty unlucky, all in all, but I'm really not even that upset about it all. It's whatever.

TDLK Finished (spoilers)

Finally finished The Dart League King during my 2-hour detention yesterday. I really, truly loved the ending. I loved the mystery of what happened to Kelly Ashton. Even if she died, anyone can still consider it a happy ending, somehow. In this one night, Russel Harmon emerges from his shell of immaturity and substance with a beautiful concept of life. He will care for his daughter, not with the same, obsessive nervosa he used earlier that night to deal with his concentration of his dart games, but in a new, fresh method of compassion and paternalism.
The last few chapters kept me guessing. It wasn't until I realized that I was on the second to last page that I came to the conclusion that, however this thing ended, it was going to be brief and powerful. And I was right.

Working

I'd rather be on hills of sand." - Avey Tare

I got a job, finally. I was roaming around the jobs page on Craigslist and replied to a post about a food server at a retirement home. I told the employer, John S., that I've always loved senior citizens and was currently looking for work. Luckily, he was looking to hire high-school students because of their availability during the weekends and during dinner hours. I met with John at Arbor Glen Retirement Community off of St. Joe road, filled out an application and talked with him briefly about what I'd be doing. Pretty basic things.
I am excited, however, to start actually doing something with my time.

The Dart League King 1

I'm so into this book! Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to blog regularly for this book. But anyway, I love how the author changes the rhythm and structure between characters. The overall flow of the book is full of detail but still tends to keep a layed-back tone throughout. There were some parts, especially the part about Tristan, that shocked me and made me want to keep reading. Things like that, I believe, are signs of a good book. Also, I keep catching myself thinking in 3rd person. Sometimes I'll be walking through the hallway for example thinking, "Eric has always been fond of how the school-day seems to carry out in a casual, yet interesting pace. He's always been fond of how, even in his least-favorite classes, the subject matter of the day makes him think. He does think too much, however. He thinks so much that it has gotten to the point where his focus and intellect have melded, creating a monster the gobbles up his sanity everyday around 5th period and makes him think in 3rd person. Poor Eric."
