A Series of Strange Events

Today was just strange. I guess it technically started yesterday though. John and I went to visit my parents in Lincoln for dinner (another fun story about that later though). We returned to town later than expected so I didn't go up to get my computer from John's (I've never left my computer anywhere). I just dropped him off and went home. I woke up this morning and it looked like my router had broken overnight. No lights came on other than the power light. But I couldn't test it because I didn't have my computer. I gave up and went to work for the day. When I got back, I unplugged my modem and my router to take to John's for testing. He called to say he was home so I should come over, but when I got there, I couldn't get in because he wasn't answering. It turned out that he forgot his phone in his car (which he rarely does), so I had to wait 10 minutes before he realized it and came to see if I was there yet. I showed him my router and we tried a few tests and decided the router was dead. We found another router on Best Buy's web site and I was going to order it online for in-store pick-up. I got my wallet out and decided not to order online. We left to try a few places in town and on road down Dodge. We saw a car with a Hawaii license plates. I wanted to take a picture, but I hadn't put the card in my camera so we couldn't. Then, I realized I forgot my wallet at the condo. So, John said he'd pay for it and I could pay him back when we got back. We arrived at Best Buy and there were two guys outside on a blanket (camped out for Halo, I think). No one else was there. Just the two of them and they were getting funny looks. Again, I wanted to take a picture, but I couldn't. Best Buy's in-store price was higher than the online price so we tried Nebraska Furniture Mart and Office Max but no one had the router I wanted so we ended up buying it at Best Buy. We got back to the condo and John stopped by his car to grab his phone. Then, on the way upstairs, the elevator wheezed. Yes, wheezed, like you'd hear an old man do in his sleep. It was really weird and we were glad to get off the elevator. We finally made it upstairs and John cooked dinner and we sat down to watch Heroes. It was good. However, there were a couple minutes when the feed cut out. I really hope it was just Omaha and someone has a full copy of it somewhere. So yeah, generally a weird day with some frustration and some just very strange things. I wonder if those guys got their copy of Halo...
