From Overheard in New York:

Drunk guy: Yeah, so all these straight women are totally into this gay Japanese porn. You know, uh, what's it called? Yahweh?

Life (Sometimes It Washes Over Me)
~5800 words :: adult :: Stargate: Atlantis :: John/Rodney :: 9/12/07
This is growing up. Sometimes it hurts, but you clench your teeth and grin and bear it and don't think about tomorrow.



( It's hot today, must be in the nineties, maybe, and it's not even noon yet. John's got his shirt off, got it tucked into the back of his cut-offs in case he needs it later, doesn't want to have to go back to the motel room and risk waking Rodney. )

Notes: Thanks to helens78 for the many last-minute betas and to lunasky for the lovely banner. Written for the "transformation" prompt on mcshep_match (Team Angst).

So I got a ticket a few weeks ago and the notice finally came in the mail (fine amount: $159*), and it says you can pay online, so I went to the website and...it has hours. It told me:

We appreciate your interest in our site and ask that you visit our site during the following hours:
Monday - Friday 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Saturdays: 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Sundays: 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Oooookay. Well, I guess I'll take a look again in the morning.

In other news, we went to Hamburger Habit tonight. Haven't been there in years. It's a kind of Johnny Rocket's-type '50s burger joint, but IMO better than Johnny Rocket's. It's also right next door to Hamburger Hamlet, which is an entirely different sort of restaurant (though also tasty) and I've always found that fact to be quite confusing.

All my eBay auctions went really well. I'm sad to get rid of all those games, but I wasn't playing them, and I needed the money, so... Several of them sold right away with Buy It Now and of the ones that didn't use BIN, most went over the BIN price in the end. I think I will use this money to pay the traffic ticket, that way I don't have to put it on the credit card.



*Plus $39 to the court for the priviledge of requesting traffic school, then whatever fee the traffic school charges.
