what a productive day!

i skipped out on work and went to court to fight the nazi bastard cops in my town for some very unfair parking tickets. luckily, the judge was reasonable and fair and understanding...and both tickets got dismissed. i RULE! and i held my tongue. which was smart. i was pretty cranky about the tickets so i was liable to start mouthing off to the wrong people.

then i went and got myself a replacement social security card, just to get it out of the way. also a fairly painless process. this old super-christian lady who's cubicle was plastered with photos of kittens processed my info. she started asking me about my cramps t-shirt. "what's c-b-g-b? what's the cramps? is that a band??? i'm an old timer, i like artists you've probably never heard of, like pat boone and robert goulet." i told her i was a huge robert goulet fan and i think that made her day. (hey, the simpsons episode he was in was pretty cute. it counts!)

THEN i went and got my fake looking old school nj license renewed (we just upgraded to those fancy digital ones). even though the nj dmv (newly rechristened as the Motor Vehicle Commission) has a history of being a truly horrendous experience, it went quite well. i would've been in and out in ten minutes, had the computer system not been on the fritz all day. the second my photo was taken, all the state computers went down for about 20 minutes. i was a little nervous, as i'd already paid and my old license now had a big ass hole punched in it. didn't want to spend the night there, ya know? but it all got sorted out. AND for the first time in my 8 years of driving, i have a license photo that won't make you laugh hysterically. i look a little long in the tooth, but i usually look a little long in the tooth so i'm not worried. ladies, always get tarted up for license pics! you're going to be showing that thing to many bartenders and bouncers for the next 4 years, so you want that shit lookin TIGHT! WERD! ha ha...i amuse myself.

after all that, i rewarded myself with a trip to the new century 21 store in paramus. omg FASHION OVERLOAD. i actually got to try on a real live vivienne westwood skirt. (i'm a huge vivienne westwood fan!) for half a second i thought about buying it...but even marked down from $700 and change, it was still $200. so yeah, not so much. i settled for a $20 shirt. and i took a good long look at the skirt, and i think it would be fairly easy to recreate. so maybe a new project is in my future!

now i'm making meatloaf, calling about apartments for rent in my area, and contemplating how great a punk rock cooking show would be. throw on some bondage pants, crank up some Adicts, drink some p.b.r, and make a huge mess cooking simple things like pancakes and renaming them splattercakes. you know it would be fucking cute. very uncle floyd!

and after that...season 2 of chappelles show just arrived via netflix. i can't wait. dave chappelle makes me wish i were black, just so i would be that much cooler.
