The State of Pennsylvania and I are at
war yet again. This time they want to revoke my drivers license. They
allege that I have a citation incurred in Lancaster County, PA on
September 7, 1999. I suppose the only problem with this is that I didn't
own a vehicle on September 7, 1999, much less get pulled over. And
let's not even get into the fact that I was a student in Pittsburgh at the
time. Even if they did happen to believe all of this (incorrect)
information, they could have mentioned this a couple months ago -- when I
first received my PA state drivers license. Or even better, they could
have sent me any kind of communication during the past three years before
today.
I went out Saturday night with some
friends from work. One of the places
we went was Sing Sing, a piano bar. At Sing Sing, men with play piano while
leading the crowd in singing very lewd songs, usually about the size of one's
anatomy. I told Rebecca about this when I got home and she said, "See,
in New York, there are places like that, but usually the people playing
piano are drag queens." At the place I was at, the men playing piano had
mullets. I suppose in a way that epitomizes the difference between Pittsburgh
and New York.
I was telling one
of my co-workers about The Biggest Man I Have Ever
Seen In Person. As soon as I began to describe him (an otherwise total
stranger to both of us), she knew exactly who I was talking about. Since
this is the third time such a thing has happened,
a new page is being devoted to said man.
I discovered that said co-worker
and I also had another rather odd phenomenon in common. The TV in my
room uses an antenna to get a picture. So I get the usual -- NBC, ABC,
CBS, PBS. But I also get MTV2
through the antenna. My fellow co-worker experiences MTV2 on her
antenna-based TV, too. Once in a while, it mysteriously changes over to
the home shopping network.
Speaking of MTV2, the voice of reason in
his infinite wisdom IMed me last night just in time to tell me that MTV2
was playing the new video from the greatest rock band ever. OK, maybe
not the greatest, but pretty damn good.

Observations from a road trip:
1. Prom Dresses should not be worn
anywhere in Breezewood,
PA, but especially not in a gas station.
2. Don't buy a yellow automobile. It
will never look cool. Never.
3. Yes, automobiles bought in
a different color and painted yellow suffer from the same problem.
4. People who aren't driving above the
speed limit shouldn't be in the left lane.
