Running Errands/iPod Dock/Geomerty Wars: Galaxies

Today was pretty boring. All I really did was run a bunch of errands. We had to go get a present for my mom's birthday, and I wanted to get a dock for my iPod. So, we left early in the morning to- wait, I'm wrong. I forgot to mention, our car battery was dead.

See, because my mom had surgery, we hadn't been driving "her" car around lately. When we realized it might be dead, it was too late. So we called to AAA man to come down and take care of it. Well, he jumped the car, it worked fine, and we were happy. Until today. It died again. So, we jumped it, and went on our way.

We couldn't really find what we were looking for (in terms of Mom's birthday present) so we headed on down to Best Buy and got me a docking station for my iPod. While we were there, Karen looked at cameras. Most were out of her price range, and I had found my dock, so we left.

And what do you know? The car died. Again. After realizing the battery had died, we looked for a police officer that could help us jump our car. One pulled up in front of Bed Bath & Beyond, so dad went for him. We kept telling him to run, but he didn't care. And he gets there and just stands there. So I call him on his cell phone, and he says he lost him. So we sat there for, like, an hour, and the police officer came out and jumped our car.

So, we get out of there, and go home. We wait a little, then dad leaves to take the car to National Tire and Battery with my grandpa, and he comes back. He picks us up to go to Steak N' Shake, and then, we go to the other Best Buy, hoping Karen can find a good enough camera there. As I walk around, I go through a bargain bin and find a game that I had been thinking about getting for a while. So I decide with my left over money I could get the game for cheap.

Well, Karen of course find a camera she thinks is adequate, and so she tries to convince dad that she should get it. Well, dad said it's cheap looking, and she doesn't have the money. Well, she wants to go home and look and see if she can find any money laying around. I had to go home and get my gift card anyway, so we left.

On the way, dad brings up the option of selling some stuff on eBay that Karen doesn't use anymore in order to get the money. She thinks it's a great idea, and decides that when she gets home, she should find some stuff to sell in her room.

Well, dad drops us off, goes back to get the car with my grandpa, and comes back for dinner. After a wonderful dinner, thanks to the Palazzolas, dad and Karen and I leave to drop Karen off at her friend's house for a sleepover, then we go to Best Buy and get my game.

So, today was really busy. Here's some reviews.

Apple Universal Dock:
It's sweet. Besides the price tag ($60??) and my stupid computer, it works really well. The remote is cool, too.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies:
This game is ok. The game is fun, but it gets boring after a while. Though it's a quality brand, it seems kind of thrown together. But for $10, it's pretty good.
