ok wait, here's one more thing that's sort of fucked up:
i mailed in my taxes at 5 pm on april 15th. the feds cashed my check on april 18th. how many drones must they have working round the clock to open the envelopes and pull out the payments? sheesh.
nystate also already cashed my check, but they at least waited until the 22nd.
luckily i didn't have to pay nj...which is so unusual that i'm afraid i did it wrong and will get horribly audited.
anyway i figured i was supposed to get about $13 back from nj. so i donated it to breast cancer research. because heck. all i would have done with it probably was buy cigarettes...

i love nights when i can't sleep and have to be to work at 7 am.
well, not that i can't sleep. more like, won't.
hrm.

The police car seems to be the last unregulated weapon in the police arsenal...
gosh but i love court tv.

Training Day

All that jelly and no toast...

pretty good movie. you know, for a blockbuster.

is it wrong to want these shoes?

i can't deal with doing taxes.
why are they so hard?

here is a nice poem somewhat apropos to today's weather:

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and from moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.

well i finally got the archives thing working. though i'm not sure it's really working the right way, because in the how-to they suggest putting the archive files in a separate directory, and if i do that, it doesn't work. i just have to put them in the main directory for it to work.

anyhoo. there are other small problems with it but i'm too tired to deal with them right now.

boy. tired. have to be at work in a few hours. yay!
