So I had planned to go see Carlos tonight after work, but it didn't happen. Today at lunch I went to Jiffy Lube and got my oil changed, and as part of their service they check the air pressure on the tires; and I didn't realize that meant they adjusted the pressure on my back right tire (which was fine). My back right tire has a faulty valve, so if you add air to it you need to check to make sure you don't hear it leaking. Well I didn't even consider this till I left work and saw my back right tire was flat. I realized I had left my AAA card at home, so I decided to see if I could drive on it at all or if it would make the telltale thumping noise that you get when a tire is down to the rim. Well I got lucky because it wasn't making any kind of noise and actually seemed to ride sort of ok. I didn't want to chance it at all though, so I decided to go super super slow to the closest gas station and put some air in it. I had to do this by pulling over a few times to let all the traffic go past me, but eventually I got there. The air pump was coin operated, and it was jammed though, and I didn't know where the next gas station was, so for a second I panicked. Then I figured maybe the attendant could turn it on without me having to pay, so I asked. Sure enough he could, so I filled my tire and went on my way. By that point it was about 7:40, and Carlos's thing started at 7:30. I didn't really relish the idea of going over there if I was gonna show up and have missed him perform so instead I went home.
I just joined Netflix this weekend, and my first movies arrived today. I decided to pop in Friday Night Lights because I'd never seen it, and because I had heard really good things about it. I have to say, I was disappointed. It wasn't a bad movie, it just didn't stand out at all as being a good one. It was a fairly run of the mill sports movie, with a rather convoluted message. I honestly couldn't tell you if it was trying to say that being that nuts about high school football is a good thing or a bad thing. I personally think that being that nuts about almost anything is a bad thing, but by the end of the movie it seemed almost like they were saying that the end justified the means. Oh well, it was entertaining anyway I suppose, I just had hopes for something more.
