art is the axe

Cop pulls me over today while I'm on my way home from work. He gets to my window and without pause says "Now why would you wear your seat-belt under your arm then put it back over your shoulder like that?" Me: "what?, I didn't even realize I did that so I don't know, I guess for comfort". He says, "you're not allowed to wear the seat-belt under your arm, you have to wear it over the shoulder at all times". I ask: "OK, so it's against the law?" He skirts around that one and says "you aren't allowed to wear it like that, it needs to be worn properly at all times. It's CLICK-IT or TICKET month!"

Note of irony: it is completely legal to ride a motorcycle with no helmet in Texas

Jackasses.

Just read the spectacular news of the legalization of gay marriage in California ! WHOO HOO! This is so exciting and long overdue.

"It's about human dignity. It's about human rights. It's about time in California," San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, pumping his fist in the air, told a roaring crowd at City Hall. "As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It's inevitable. This door's wide open now. It's going to happen, whether you like it or not".

Considering I hadn't gotten that second email by yesterday afternoon, I decided to call StubHub. I gave them my order number and the representative looked up the information only to say "oh, that ticket wasn't available at the time of your order". Trying to compose myself (at work), I replied "why was it listed to purchase then?". Rep: "Well m'aam, the seller kept it listed, I don't know why, but I can offer you an alternate ticket. We have left section VV available".

VV is equivalent to about 40 rows back. I ORDERED A PIT TICKET jackass. Rather than going apeshit, I said "um, no. cancel my order please."

So, I learned from that little experience.

I moved on right away, in a panic-stricken search again and found no equivalent ticket on any ticket site. I did, however, end up finding a 3rd row center ticket...and it cost just about the same as that fake pit ticket did. Right after the order I called the company to be sure the 'ticket' was actually available. The rep. ensured me that it was.

I hope this is true.

I'll never use StubHub again.

I need help neigborly neighbors! I ordered my ticket off of StubHub...I've never done that before so I don't know what to expect.

I got a confirmation email confirming 'the order'; however, it says that I should be getting a second email when the transaction goes through and the actual purchase is done, then, and only then, the ticket will be overnighted. I ordered it Saturday. I haven't gotten the 2nd email. I expected this to happen today but it hasn't as of yet.

So, this is where you come in: who out there has used stub hub? How'd it go? Am I being setup? Am I being watched by the FBI as they cackle at my stubhub ignorance?  STUBHUB MUST COME THROUGH. The show. is. Saturday.

I need ticky. my ticky. pit. five hundred and sixty-six dollars.

tick it. come hither.

Got this one the other day at a thrift shop for a buck. It is an extremely compelling memoir. I think all females would benefit greatly from reading this. (men too..)

      In honor of my daughter - who has no doubt kept me alive, when I thought I wouldn't live to see 30.

When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape
my videotape

Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red blue green
Red blue green

You are my center when I spin away
Out of control

On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face

No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

It wasn't cheap. ($566.00) It's only something a crazed fan would do. Glad I happen to have the extra $ because that is normally NOT the case.

I'm sorta shocked still. I'm a bit skeptical of the seats b/c there is not a seat row/# but at least it says PIT four times.

Ok, going to take a xanax now. ;)

To all those who purchased Radiohead tickets at face value and turned around to sell them for ungodly amounts of money: you obviously have no conscience or concern for anyone but yourself and your wallet, which, by the way, I hope gets stolen. You had nothing to do with creating the art, therefore you should not be making hundreds of dollars off of it - very simple.

Now, with that off my chest...

I have to support these sick-o's if I want any sort of decent seat for the show next weekend. So, the mongers will get my 500 bucks and I'll get a ticket. Cocks.

Well, That Explains That!: Gene Morrill, 57, hoping for a shorter sentence after his conviction for soliciting sex from teenage boys over the Internet, told a court in Fredericksburg, Va., in March about his rough life as a child, beginning with the time he was sexually molested by Bigfoot. [Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, 3-26-08]

just needed to vent here because it's one of those days...

last night very little sleep due to strange soreness in my legs - I have not been doing any strenous exercising so that was bizarre...needless to say, I feel like shit due to lack of sleep. I do not do well without adequate sleep. I used to, but as I am aging, I can't function well w/out a good 8 or 9 hours.

Today I am tired and moody I guess. I try remaining positive but ya know, everyone has their days. Pms is also a huge factor - guys, you really need to thank the Gods that you do not have this f'd up hormonal imbalance each month like us ladies do. It can make one feel and act quite insane.

I have a 2 hour CPR training afterwork which I don't want to attend b/c I'm tired and it's long and I had the training last year and it'll put me home at too late of an hour and every night this week I've had shit to do after work that puts me home too late and I miss my dogs. Sorry for the negatory vent. Hey, this could make some people happy - (see prev. post)

I am happy to have music. Got in the car to go to lunch and Tool was in my cd player. Love 'em.
