Black Friday sucks.
And so does the DMV.
ARGH. So... I remembered that my license expires tomorrow, and since I haven't really had any free time to get it renewed this month (also, I'm senile), I thought, hmm... maybe I'll just do it today, since it's a Friday and technically NOT a holiday. The DMV should be open, no?
NO!!!!! DAMMIT!! Crapness. GRRRRRR. So after tomorrow, I'm car-free, which sucks big hairy holeness. Plus, I'll be back at school. My sister will now have my car and she's "too busy" to take me to the DMV down there, which means I need to find someone else to take me. Yeah... good luck with me finding any other grad students who'll be up before the DMV closes on Monday. Dammit. The prospect of being car-free and license-less, for even a day, is really going to suck. Hrmph. And if they decide to do a random vision recheck... heh. I'm blind as a bat. lol Makes everyone feel better that I'm going license-free for a couple of days, right? :P
Ugh. The malls suck. Way too many people. Why? Why? Why? It's not like the "sales" are really any good. It's all a ploy. It's a conspiracy! They jack up the prices, then "lower" them so you think you're getting something really good. No, really... Go home, people! Let me shop! Oh, right. I didn't really need to get anything today. Just wanted to pick up my LOTR Extended Version DVDs. And how incredibly random was it that I ran into one of my students at the mall? So weird hearing your name being called when you don't expect it. Too bad his mom was with him. lol
Oh, so okay... my celebrity sighting from last night. Well, not really celebrity, only kind of. Cousin-in-law's friend was sharing Thanksgiving with us. When I first met him, I had this really strange, almost surreal half-second of... recognition? Apparently, he used to be on the soap opera "Another World," which is really odd since I don't believe I've ever seen that soap before. I didn't ask too many questions, since you know me... didn't want to pry or anything... But he did volunteer some information, like how he's still doing some acting work, and how he's got some theater ensemble group with the guy who plays the head Secret Service guy on The West Wing. I forget that guy's name, but he's one of my "hey, it's that guy" guys. And of course, after I get home, I try to imdb the guy since my sister asked my cousin for his last name. Even though we didn't know how to spell it, we couldn't find him on the cast list. Interesting. Perhaps he had a screenname. Oh well. Anyway, he's now doing contracting and fixing another cousin's new house. Heh.
*crosses being soap star on crappy soap opera off list of 'Possible Careers for When I Grow Up' list*
Well, that's about it. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday!
