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.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The status is NOT quo.
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?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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

...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.

“Not dead yet!”
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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Pix, with the 18 extra minutes per page, you can calculate the savings from car insurance, then plot where that money can be used. Pay down loans, extra large payment on the car. New shoes. Honeymoon!! Oo this is getting fun. Don't forget, those insurance savings are for 3 years! Lots of scheming you can do.
