Current mood:  drained
This week I cooked again, watched a movie and fabricated a panel for the pick-up!
Saturday, 1/21/07, My Living Room: Idiocracy
I love Mike Judge. Office Space is probably one of the top 5 movies from the 90's, if not all time. So had really high expectations for Idiocracy even though it was barely promoted by the studio and went straight to video.
The plot is a parable of the current state of America. In 2005, the US Army "hibernates" the most average guy in the service (average height, looks, IQ) and an average chick (who happens to be a hooker). Instead of being suspended for 1 year, there chambers are misplaced until the year 2505. Joe awakens to a planet where the average IQ is below 65 and he is the smartest person. Hilarity insues.
It's funny. I liked the movie more when it was over then when I was watching. I like the idea. But I hate stupid people and the last 2/3 of the movie is packed with them. And god damn, those people are stupid.
Tuesday, 1/23/07, My kitchen: Spicy Chicken & Rice
I screw dinner up all of the time - but my quarterly taxes, a new cookbook and this resolution are making me cook. I'm no Rachel Ray, but I'm doing ok.
This chicken and rice was TASTY! If you like Mex-American food - you will frakking love it and I totally want you to bug me for the recipe. This picture makes it look not the best, but by the third day it was still great. Better than the first night. So So So good. Eat it.
Wednesday, 1/24/07, the Garage: Fabricating my heart out
So I finally did some actual work on the truck. I fabricated a panel for the floor of the truck. I made a template from thin cardboard, traced it on some sheet metal and cut it out with a pair of metal shears.
Troy, Kyle and Ryan did the rest of the floor. I do my best to crack the whip and keep the good times rolling.
Mind my roots please.
This kid is too wierd.
This photo is dark but you kinda get the point. Kinda. I had my super swank mechanic gloves on and they kept covering the flash.
And here it is. My template. Hanging up for the whole world to see.
The floor is really close to being done. I think at this moment Troy is actually drilling holes for the seat. Now that I am finally not sick, I will be in there swinging. What - I don't know. More likely I'll just be moping around, talking shit like only I can and making them giggle.
That was my week. I was sick for most of it, so it wasn't very action packed. Apparently my sense of humor was also still trying to recover as I can see that this week isn't that funny. |
