sometimes it sucks to be deaf...
i just picked up my jeep from the shop for a service check up. it turns out that my jeep's axles are way fucked up... they said that you could even hear them well while turning the axles. i guess towing my heavy stuff from chicago has caused a big toll on my jeep. luckily some of the repairs are covered by the warranty, still, got a huge bill to pay... ugh...
on the bright side, my roomie and i are almost done in painting our pad converting from plainfully monotone white to radiantly MTV style wild colors - "jack o' lantern" orange, "hot pepper" green, and "whistling dixie" purple. i'll post some pictures of our pad once we're done with painting!
