It finally happened. After jury rigging my kick pedal last weekend with a couple pieces of cardboard and some tape, the kick pedal came apart on me today as I sat down to play drums. I was pressing down on the pedal, and then I noticed that the pedal did not rebound back to its neutral position. I checked, and sure enough, the crack in the pedal finally reached all the way across the pedal and the pedal is now two pieces.

I quickly jumped onto the EA support site, and I am now awaiting for a replacement kick pedal. I’m supposed to get it some time next week. I hope that’s an accurate estimate on their part, because I’m finding I am not as good at guitar as I used to be, and I am terrible at singing.

When I got home today, not only did I find a fresh set of Yokohama tires for Chris’s car, but I also found a box from Amazon. That could only mean that I now have Mario Kart Wii! I have only been playing it for about 90 minutes, but it is loads of fun.

So, it’s Sunday night and

• Friday’s “night at the theater” turned out to be better than I thought it would be
• Vegging on Saturday ended up to be a lot of Vice City action
• Dinner with an old college suitemate was pretty good
• I finally did some of the laundry I’ve been putting off for two or three weeks now
• I didn’t see the Simpsons, and I know I’ll probably get some flack for it at work
