Star Wars as retold by someone who has not seen it: [link]
Too funny!
I never seen Star Wars.
Must figure out way to get Shir viewing this. I have an idea, I have the DVD's, c'mon over!
As for bills, I used to do everything through my bank, but not automatically. Since moving to Dallas, my rent and utilities are the same company, and they charge to do electronic transfers, so eff that, I write a check. Cable/internet I do online at their website paying with visa (to get the points so I can get plane ticket, which is how I got to F2F!). Cell bill is the only one that is automatic. If that doesn't get paid on time, it's not pretty.
ION. I slept in till 2. :: yawn :: Then managed to do one of those things we were talking about a little up thread. That task that you don't want to do for fear it will take forever. Well. The pile of clean clothes are now officially put away. Yup. Only 90 minutes to sort and hang them all up. And judging by the warm weather clothes at the bottom, I'm guessing that pile started before the summer did.
Also, somehow, my brain is on the fence between being a total introvert/shut the world out this weekend, and "I wanna do something with people", but dunno who or what. My brain, it's bizarre.
Now, I must eat, and rehydrate, cuz dang it I'm hungry and thirsty!
I got up early, but sat around in my jammies til noon. Eight hours on a motorcycle driving along twisty roads, followed by six hours of plane travel and a very late arrival home last night has made me sore and lazy. Kinda nice, actually.
I am doing online traffic school to avoid getting a mark on my license for an illegal right hand turn that wasn't clearly marked. (I actually thought I was
following
the law when I got the ticket last spring.) The DMV has inserted a timer at the bottom of each page. You cannot proceed until you have been "carefully reading" for TWENTY MINUTES. Seriously? Even reading slowly, I was done in eight. Now I have to sit here for another twelve minutes Have I mentioned how much I hate arbitrary bureaucracy?
Kristin, a friend of mine in Texas was complaining about that earlier. In Texas, it should take you
thirty
minutes to read that shit.
Thirty minutes?? Good gods. No thanks. Twenty is stupid enough. I've decided to amuse myself by sharing tidbits of traffic school wisdom with you all:
Did you know that one way to calm down a driver with road rage if you are his/her passenger is to "talk about positive, pleasant subjects"?
No, really.
Kristin, what a PITA.
I am still slounging chez KBD. I think dinner needs to happen soon. We've both been futzing with our smartphones with tennis in the background.
Oh dear. This second page has been a giant list of minutia about lighting and brake law, such as:
(a) This bill amends the minimum height requirement for red fog tail lamps to not lower than 12 inches (previously 15 inches) or higher than 60 inches.
ETA: Also, did you know that "the main purpose of the tires is to control the vehicle in turning and stopping situations"?
t headdesk
Ha ha ha ha. This is so informative!
...and I spoke too soon. Apparently this second page of facts should have taken me FORTY minutes to read. I have 26 minutes left to wait now.
Oh lord, Pix, that is the worst. I had to do a similar test for a ticket here in Florida a couple of years ago and it was my ida of hell.
