Picking through trash, being white....white trash?

Me and man friend went on quite an adventure last night.

We we were watching Heroes (yea I name drop)

and I mentioned that I saw this cool piece of furniture

on the side of the road on my way home from work.

I guess my voice sounded like I really wanted

it, because he then tries to convince

me to go get it.

Finally after my many excuses we drive down

to see if it's still there and we take a flashlight

to look to see if it's in good shape.

Oh, because I forgot to mention, this is all

happening at 10:00 PM.

We pull over, have the hazards on, and are

rummaging in front of this persons house

with a flashlight at 10:00.

I was sure the cops were getting called.

Anyway it turns out that it's an old record

player and the top opens up.

REALLY cool piece,

but this thing is frickin HUGE.

No way it was going to fit in my car.

So we drive home and I try to forget about it.

As soon as I pull into my parking spot,

man friend suggests we just go get one of

my parents' vans.

It takes 2 seconds of convincing before we head

to the rents.

We get in the first van and the gas light

turns on the second I turn on the car.

Sigh.

So I get the keys to the other one and it has

about a centimeter above the red line.

Bigger sigh.

I blame Russell.

We take it anyway.

I kept saying we needed to stop at a gas station

but man friend say OH NO we can

TOTALLY make it there with this, the light's not

even on yet.

We get about half way before the light turns on.

I take this time to gloat.

Finally we make it back and at this point it's 11.

So we go to get this thing in the van and it

easily weights 300lbs for me

because I am useless with physical activity.

It takes 10 trys before we finally get it in

the van and let me tell you, laughing

while lifting heavy things is futile.

So we get home and I literally have no place to

put this thing. It's sitting in the

middle of my living room for now until I

find somewhere for it.

I'm 98% sure the record player doesn't work

but it's still a really cool piece.

Love it.

Despite a few mishaps the night was

a whole lot of fun.
