We are the afterschool special your manicurist warned you about!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I have had all my polishes out on my bathroom counter to remind myself I don't need to buy more. I have lots of pretty colors to play with. Last weekend I went to The Container Store and bought one of those stepped spice rack things to make them look even prettier. I love having the display of color. Yes, I have a large bathroom counter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I learned it from you, Plei! I learned it from watching you.
Hee.

Heh. It's funny to me I've been doing fake nails since, um...1997, and yet I've done it all myself and didn't have a pedicure until a couple years ago (Kat's fault.) I even had specific abroad-rough-travel fakes!

Legal tidbit from my friend the defense attorney: Never refuse the breathalyzer. You can fight the accuracy of the breathalyzer but refusing it outright makes the distinction of drunkenness purely legal by the police's estimation. You're legally drunk whether you're physically drunk or not.
I don't see how that would matter when you got to court though. You have the right to refuse the breathalizer.

You have the right to refuse the breathalizer.
You do, but then you can't argue that you weren't drunk.

Why? I don't understand how refusing the breathalizer negates your right to argue that you weren't drunk.
t edit Obvs., IANAL. But I'm just having trouble with the logic there.

You can argue anything you want I suppose. Legally, however, in California, you can only be charged with refusal if you refuse a blood test at the hospital or chemical test at the station, not the roadside breathalyzer.
Generally, if you have been pulled over and suspected of DUI, when asked to submit to a pre-arrest breathalyzer test, you do have the right to refuse. The PAS (Preliminary Alcohol Screening) breathalyzer is a voluntary test for persons who are over the age of 21 and are not on probation for a prior DUI; and this goes for field sobriety tests, as well. Note that this is different from a chemical blood alcohol test that may be performed at a hospital or police station which, according to California Vehicle Code section 23612 you have already given "implied consent" simply by operating a motor vehicle. Refusing or resisting this chemical test will result in an additional charge on top of your DUI, known as "refusal enhancement."

Yeah, that doesn't seem to make sense. I could refuse a brethalyzer right now. I haven't had a drink in a month. I'm clearly not drunk... but if a police officer decided I was his request/demand somehow matters more than any other circumstance in establishing truth? I don't think police get that kind of power.
