I have spent the last few days traveling and visiting friends and family in the Manteca/Tracy area. It been pretty fun so far. I’ve been bouncing around from house to house visiting and catching up. I started visiting my friends Justin and Deanna on Friday with their little guy Tristan. That kid is the most mellow, agreeable two-year old I’ve ever met. He only cried once; Never resisted going to sleep; and was a little chatterbox. The perfect child. I told them both to stop while they were ahead.
I then did what has become my new hobby–hunting for a wii. I really don’t want a wii. I am enjoying the hunt looking for them. When I got to Tracy, I stopped by the usual suspect–Best Buy, Target, and Circuit City–to see if I can find one. No luck. That’s okay. The hunt is what I am enjoying. I don’t know what I am actually going to do when I find one. Of course I could just over pay for one on ebay, but that’s not any fun. I will have to say that Nintendo had created a wonderful supply/demand frenzy over these gaming system. Not even the Xbox 360 or PS2 (the ps3 sucks) had this long of a backlog after the release. Well done to Nintendo for coming from behind to dominate the bunch.
Yesterday and today I’ve been spending time with time with my cousins and g-ma. It’s funny to hang out with these guys… they are hella drama, hella madness. Which is funny because in Chicoland, there is no drama in my life. I went over to my cousins house last night in Manteca. My cousin David bought a HUGE five bedroom mcmansion and his sister and her family moved in with him. The main problem is my cousin’s girlfriend is a bitch. I don’t use that word often to describe a person, but she is just that. She’s rude, ungrateful, and degrading. Well, it’s going to cause a huge rift between the two of them and it’s just going to get ugly. Thankfully, I have no investment in the argument. But it makes me think of the movie, “War of the Roses.” A classic 80s movie if you haven’t seen it.
When I get back, I get to be a bum for a few days. I told some of my former students I would go to Great America. So that’s my big trip for Spring break. I’m going to try to save money for the house project come October.
