Eventually :mrgreen: I have a few but the solids are by far my favorite. The "extreme green" (I believe is what it's called) is pretty awesome though.

:x Two weeks without a computer. It broke down and, because of carnival, it should take a while to come back from maintenance.

:cry: Got sick in the final day of carnival.

:D On the other hand, carnival was amazing. I really needed this kind of thing. I think it was one of the best holidays I've had in years. I went out the four days, drank a lot, danced (or tried to) a lot, met people and, well, had a lot of fun. Finally learned how to frevo (a local dance) and samba a little. I went to the streets with a friend of mine that knows his dancing, so it was pretty great.

:D Ash Wednesday crowned it all with a victory of my team (Vasco) over the dirty, poorly dressed crosstown rivals Flamengo (2-1)

Probably no one but a few Europeans will understand or even care about this, but the game had one of the funniest moments in soccer history. The worst, stupidest miss of all time:

The whole country's been laughing at the guy since then.

Well this has been one of the worst Friday's in awhile.

- I've been sick and was this close to calling in today, I should've.
- Learned my sister just "left" the house and moved out earlier this week, when half her shit is still here. Lots of chaos going on with her and my parents, she won't budge with me either.
- Was in the worst position today for work having to multitask with like 6 things at once, almost went insane. This other lady at my work who is usually nice and the smartest ones there, is apparently going through menopause according to others (may as well call it bi-polar disorder) and had another one of her pissy days. Pissed me the hell off and didn't help with the issues going on at work today.
- Was going to meet up with friends tonight for a movie until my car overheated super fast and really bad. 3rd new radiator I've been on in the last ~3 years. Got home somehow.
- Dogs won't shut up.

It's safe to say I punched the bathroom wall so far. Time for some fucking beer.

I had a big inspection and everything done two weeks ago, dropped a lot of money on it for a lot of fixes. Think it still needs some master cylinder for the break pumps though ($350 or something for that alone), new PCV valve, and I still definitely think I need to get the electrical stuff checked out.

The really bad news is though that my radiator was mounted wrong, so I'll have to take it back to who did it... but they might have done that since my frame was damaged a few years back when I ran over something one night. Ever since then I've had the overheating issues, so maybe the last radiator I just went through wasn't mounted on right either. They bent the damn thing at the bottom, so I'm not surprised it's giving me issues. But it sounds impossible to repair that frame damage...

Maybe I am just better off getting a new car. :?
