Six things I want to happen in the next seven days

1. I find a DVD player that works all the time.
I'm on my second one since arriving in Lund, Nev. The first was one I had in storage for almost two years. It powered up just fine and probably played just fine, as well. I'll never know because the damn thing won't eject. No eject equals no inserting of discs. You can follow the logic from there.
The second, the one I'm watching "Metalocalypse" on right now, belongs to my mom. She isn't using it. This one opens and closes and all that. It just doesn't always read the disc. I've found a way to fiddle with the buttons and get it to work. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work every time.
Oh well. If I get desperate, I'll just watch DVDs on my laptop.
2. I get a job that actually pays money.
Sure, I'm working all the time and technically I have a good job. It just isn't paying yet. Yes, it has given me a good place to live with high speed internet, so it isn't all bad.
I keep applying for jobs and perhaps one will turn out. That's be nice.
3. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
The next race is at Michigan Speedway, not one of Junior's best tracks. He keeps getting top five finishes, so a win is not far away. The sooner, the better, though.
4. I finish loading ALL of my CDs onto my iPod.
OK, this might not happen. Not because I don't have time or because there are too many CDs. It's because I don't have the space on my laptop to store all of them.
Anyone want to give me an external hard drive I can use solely to store music?
5. The temperature to go down.
I'm in Nevada and it is June, so this is not likely to happen, either. And yes, I heard it's snowing in Moscow, Idaho, so I shouldn't be complaining. But complaining is what I do.
Anything less and I wouldn't be living up to my own expectations.
6. Gas prices to go down.
See above.
