the_dala at 06:11pm on 06/12/2006I have no willpower. NONE.
So I got pulled over on my way to work, for doing -- what else? -- 58 in a 40 mph zone. I am a menace to society. I tried my "is this the registration? ::hands officer an oil change receipt:: trick, but it didn't work. He did, however, knock my speed down to 49, significantly lowering my fine to $70. Gahhh. That's still $70 I would not have to part with if I had been PAYING ATTENTION. Question, since I've never actually got a ticket before: is there a grace period before you have to pay it? Like, if I waited two weeks for my next paycheck, d'you think that would be okay?
Scared straight, I vowed that I would not buy DMC after all, and spent the rest of my afternoon feeling somewhat righteous.
After work, I needed to stop in Lex Park for some tampax, and this is my problem: the grocery stores are all in squares connected with places that sell DVDs. I avoided the Best Buy square, but then I got stuck staring at Food Lion with Blockbuster to my left and K-Mart to my right. And I caved, okay? I marched into the Big K (unclean! unclean! ::does Gibbs' black spot dance::), up to the DVD case and pointed at the Special Edition DVD. Which was at least on sale for $22.99 (if you tell me you got it cheaper somewhere else, I will STAB you). Not that that makes it okay.
Like I said. Willpower-less.
But not Will Turner-less...
And I will NOT watch it now because my final research proposal is due tomorrow and I have OTHER pirate movies to watch for Film...maybe just ONE special feature...
