Took yesterday off cuz i was coughing up both my lungs... and then some.
Feel a bit better today. At least well enough to drive to work, but i'm super tired. I really need a new pillow. The one i have is too soft and doesn't support my fat head.
So my tires on the Prelude are bald... like steel-belts-are-showing bald. So i spent tonight swapping some tires around so i can drive to Costco tomorrow to get new tires. Two of the tires are a bit flat as they've been sitting around for about 2-3 years. So i get the tires switched and load up the 3 bald ones into the back seat and trunk to take to Costco.
So i drive down to the Chevron in Alhambra because it's the closest one that has free air. On the way, i see two police cars stopped to the side of the road and the officers were questioning a guy dressed like a cholo. I ignore them and i go get my air.
On the way back i happen to stop at the stoplight where they were questioning the guy and it turns out they just finished, telling him to "get out of here, asshole." Light turns green, i go. So does one of the police cars. So i end up between a slow moving BMW and the police car. At some point he pulls up next to me and paces a bit. The BMW is driving slower than 30mph (the posted speed limit) as i assume he doesn't want to go faster in fear of getting a ticket. The police car drops back once and then pulls up next to me again. Out of the corner of my eye, i see him look at me. He slows down and gets behind me again, and keeps following me for about a block before he lit me up. By this time i already know i'm getting pulled over. BUT FOR WHAT?
He tells me i was tailgating the car in front of me and asks me why i was following so close. I tell him i wasn't tailgating and that i was going well under the speed limit as the car in front of me was going very slowly due to the fact that he kept pacing both of us (insinuating he was looking for a reason to pull either of us over). He then sees the tires i have wrapped in trash bags and asks me if i have anything illegal in the car and what i have in the back seat. He then asks for my license and registration and proceeds to ask if i've ever been arrested before. WTF?! Do i LOOK like a criminal? Then he realizes that i forgot to give him my registration and he asks me if the car was mine because apparently i do look like a criminal and i guess i just stole this car. He takes my information and walks back to his car. After a few minutes he comes back and asks me where i live. I tell him i'm renting and that the address on my license is where my parents live. He again asks me if i have anything illegal in my car and hands me my paperwork and tells me he's not going to give me a ticket this time and to "stop doing this following too closely crap." Fucking jerk. I kindly thank the fucker and as i'm pulling away, i hear him and his buddy chatting and laughing behind me.
I'm assuming he just wanted to pull me over because i look like a typical kid driving a fixed up Honda and up to no good at 9:30pm on a Monday night. That and probably being pissed that he stopped someone and didn't get to arrest him, making him look like an asshat of a cop, so he tries to give me some bullshit excuse to pull me over and see if i can be arrested.

I witnessed my dog celebrating this Leap Year by leaping over our 6 foot high cinder block wall. I had no clue he was a wall climber.
I took him into the backyard to go potty and i think a cat walked across the wall and got his attention. He took off after it and the next thing i know, his front paws hooked onto the top of the wall and he was able to climb right over into the neighbors yard.
I freaked and ran out the door with his leash and luckily the neighbor had just gotten home. I ask if i can run into his yard to grab my own personal Houdini and when i open the gate and call his name, i hear his tags jingling, but no dog. WTF? I call again, and hear that the jingling is now even closer. WTF?! Then i peer over my own wall and see my dog back in our own backyard. That %$)@$$!)$%&^#$& dog.
I don't know what i'm gonna do now. So much for containment.
