The Place of Doom for My Car
I had a car appointment early this morning to get my check engine light looked at. Luckily Ken lives right down the road from the Midas I took it to so he picked me up and we went to this little grocery store down the street. It was basically like a Dottie's Discount Foods but much, much bigger. It had all sorts of stuff and instead of being a trendy little place like Dottie's, it was a haven for uh, the bottom of the barrel lol. Interesting place for sure. I've never seen such large quantities of discount food in my life. Some of it was pretty nasty.

After that we were walking around trying to find a place to eat when I got a call from Midas. Basically they don't know exactly why my light is on but it could be this tube that goes to my gas tank. They did the smoke test and couldn't see it, but they could smell it. So basically there is a tiny hole that they can't find somewhere in there. My car is also a little louder because the front part of my exhaust system that was welded to the frame is now off. I asked the guy if I could get by without it for the next year or two and he said yes. So basically, if I have a lot of money to blow on my car, I'll get it done but if not, then I'll have to live with it for now =/
Crepe Heaven!
I decided to see if I could kill two birds with one stone so I called Alex to ask her if she wanted to go out for lunch with Ken and I. Luckily she did and we went to this new place in Binghamton called Crepe Heaven. It was a great little place that was reasonably priced. I had pomegranate tea with a pizza crepe. Yum! It was great to catch up with Alex and hear about what was going on with her life. Seems pretty crazy like usual =D
We Are Wearing the Same Pants and Shirt *weird*
Afterwards we decided to go antique shopping for some reason. I had never been to "antique row" in Binghamton so it was an interesting experience. We went to this place called The Mad Hatter Antiques. It was a fancy store full of furniture that I would love to own! It had old Victorian stuff and downstairs there was a bunch of 1950, 1960 and 1970 style furniture. Neato. Before we went in we saw 3 hummers parked right in a row in front of a church. haha. Man, I do hate hummers.
God Loves a Hummer
We went to a few other stores and looked around at stuff. Alex bought more VHS and records. She's such a dork lol. I'm glad she likes her antiquated media. Afterwards we hung out in Alex's place and called Nikki who we haven't talked to in forever. She's still living at home and not doing anything with her life. She did move to the South West which is exciting. Poor girl has moved so much in her life =/ She should move back to the North East and live near one of us so that she can do things. I played with Alex's awesome cat and then took off for home.

That night I met up with Amy, Jen and Aaron at Denny's after Amy got off from work. She had to sign the lease for our apartment and give me her deposit so I could bring it up with me to Massachusetts when I leave this Monday. It was great seeing Jen and Aaron. It seems like they have been dating forever. Oh, and by the way, Aaron is Amy's brother. Just to clarify. Unfortunately for Amy, all three of us play World of Warcraft and had a huge dorky conversation about it. Aaron is obsessed with it..unhealthily at one point. Jen does quite a bit of gaming as well. Aaron was even wearing a World of Warcraft shirt haha. Funny. It was a good dinner and then we parted ways... Jen and Aaron with each other, myself with $1000 of Amy's money and Amy...with a sense of losing $1000 =)
Jen and Aaron
When I got home, Brodie was there with my parents. My sister had dropped him off so that she could go down to the city and see her brother in law's new kid. Lucky for me, I got to sleep with the little runt because my Mom didn't want him in her bed. I didn't sleep very well because I'm not used to sleeping with a dog next to me =/
