@ Traffic Court"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>i have to write about yesterday, because it was so great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i had to go to traffic court for a speeding ticket that i got 3 weeks ago, for going 75 in a 55. i got the ticket at 3:30am on a monday morning on the toll road going home from the bus station. i had just returned from nyc and was with erica. between getting the ticket and appearing in court, i found an ebook online called pay no fine which tells you how to contest a traffic ticket. i read the book and prepared some questions in a line of defense, and it miraculously worked. the charges were dropped, no points were assessed, and i didn&#8217;t have to pay anything (not even a court cost). that was the first omen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>then i return to my office around noon and while i&#8217;m checking SH\/SC on SA i find a thread about a dell rebate. it was an instant rebate that was good only for one day, $750 off any inspiron notebook over $1500. i&#8217;m typing this journal entry on my thinkpad, which i love and is great, but it&#8217;s also old. i wanted a new laptop so i could run newer versions of the software that i use (i only have photoshop 7 on here, for example), but i didn&#8217;t have a few grand to drop on a serious upgrade. anyway, i got an inspiron 8600 with the following specs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pentium 4-M 715 Processor<br\/>15.4&#8243; uxga display, 1920&#215;1240 resolution<br\/>512mb DDR<br\/>128mb Radeon 9600 ProTurbo<br\/>40gb hdd<br\/>dvd-rom<br\/>wi-fi<br\/>$900 not incl shipping and tax\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>as soon as i got it i knew that i had to sell this laptop, since i don&#8217;t need two. i was hoping to get $700-800, but i already found a buyer willing to pay $800. now i just need to sell two desktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i saw team america: world police the other night with esfand. i wanted to see the movie and heard it was hilarious, but i wasn&#8217;t sure if it was worth seeing in the theater. we got blazed and needless to say, i laughed as hard as i can remember laughing in a movie theater. i downloaded the soundtrack off nmp3s and it is exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tomorrow is my last day here in the office, and on friday i go on vacation for 9 days. life is really sweet just before you&#8217;re hopelessly broke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>currently listening to: America, Fuck Yeah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i have to write about yesterday, because it was so
