Last Night:

I am currently sitting in James’ room back in Austin. I know: how the hell did I get back here? I’ll get to that later. Currently James is having an intense debate with his high school buddy Dan as to the best first date idea for a girl that the guy just met. Some past suggestions have been star-gazing (a favorite of James’), smores at a private club (one from Dan’s girlfriend) and going to see the new movie Transformers. I personally could not vouch for this one. I think the final vote is “Ocean’s 13” at Alamo Drafthouse. I still haven’t been to this place, but apparently it’s amazing. It’s kinda like a chill Austin joint where you can have a dinner, have a beer, and mack with your girl. But of course the last part is up to you. Or rather, up to James…

My computer is working again because I am the soldering king. Not really. I just put a whole bunch of that metal stuff all over my make-shift wires and prayed that my computer would turn on when I plugged it in. It did. Praise the lord, the Toshiba lives! Too bad there is a massive bump on the top-left of my computer that I now can’t get rid of. Oh well, I can deal with it given my newly refreshed batteries!

My family is freaking awesome. Today I got back to Austin using my Tia Gloria’s really new (I’m not really sure of the year) Toyota Corolla. Meanwhile she’s driving a late 70’s or early 80’s Buick that used to belong to my great-grandfather. Ok, it’s not as bad as it seems when she and my Tio David got in contact me with me, they offered to let me borrow the old Buick for awhile because they know how hard it is to get around San Antonio without a car. I had to accept. After we both went to mass today (I forgot that my Parish mass started at 12:15 instead of 12:00; sort of awkward), I mentioned that I wanted to head back up to Austin today. Since I was traveling a bit far, they insisted that I take the Toyota instead of the Buick. Sweet. I’m returning it soon. I’m not that bad!

Ok, enough for now. James wasn’t able to get to his lady tonight. Hopefully she calls tomorrow so I can get all the good dirt soon.
