random update

Alot has been going on lately with the car, halloween, family stuff, etc... and it's just starting to get back to normal in my life (as if there is such a thing). My grandfather passed away a couple weeks ago and it hit me pretty hard, but after spending the last few weekends with my family I'm feeling better about it and coming to terms with the whole death thing. It was an eye opener to watch the process, but I won't go in to details here.

Yesterday was Halloween and since I didn't dress up at work, my coworkers punished me by dressing me up in Shawna's costume taken from Moulin Rouge. Word on the street is the costume made my ass look good. I also went to the comedy show on camus (sans costume) which is CSU Chico's effort to keep kids out of the streets partying. It wasn't as good as last years, which featured Carlos Alazraqui (who was the voice of Rocko in "Rocko's Modern Life", the taco bell dog, and more recently, Officer Garcia in "Reno/911"), but I was still laughing pretty hard. Just a word of advice: never sit in the front 4 rows of a comedy show if you can't take a joke in your name... Getting back home was a challenge now that the city of Chico Oficially Sucks (PDF Warning) Halloween night. It was a MONDAY NIGHT for cryin' out loud. The coppers had every street downtown blocked off with at least 4 officers at each intersection. It was like every law enforcement angency collaborated to stop the fun. I saw more policemen than kids on the streets!
