bethje and I were all set to go over to Beth's aunt's house, when I found out that one of my tires was flat. It turns out that I had run over a nail at some point. Fortunately, Beth's cousin-in-law Ronnie was able to pull out the nail and patch the tire. I'll need to get a new tire soon, though, and I'm hoping to combine it with the checkup and oil change I need anyway. Are there any service places that do all of those things? I like the service station where I usually get my oil changed, because they give you a free car wash and don't try to sell me stuff I don't need, but they don't do tires or brakes.
It looks like I'm going to have to drive a lot within the week, what with the trip up to New York on Saturday. I had also forgotten about Election Day next week, which is going to further complicate my usual weekly schedule.
Anyway, Beth had made a Freddy Krueger outfit for her dog Dewey. There are some pictures here. We walked him around Beth's aunt's neighborhood for a little bit, but not as long as we had originally intended, thanks to that flat tire. And it was hard to see his costume anyway, since it was dark outside. I wore my knight costume from a few years ago, which is kind of tacky, but I paid so much for it that I wanted to get some more use out of it.
After that, I took Beth to class, and played Phantasy Star while waiting for her. I bought the landspeeder on the planet Motavia, and used it to reach a cave, but I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do there.
Beth's class ended a little before 9, and then we went out to eat at Denny's. We sat at a booth next to a group of loud teenagers who used "gay" for practically every other word. Rather than my usual Moons Over My Hammy, I had the Meat Lovers' Scramble, which was good. It came with three pancakes, which were very filling.
Later, we went back to Beth's house, and watched the original Nightmare on Elm Street with audio commentary, which was pretty interesting. It's too bad that Robert Englund wasn't on the commentary, though. Then I went to bed, and, well, that's pretty much all I have to say for now.
