the bank called at 10am this morning to tell me that they had been able to extract my card from the hungry machine. i then proceeded to go right back to sleep.

i woke up at around 12:30 this afternoon. i went about the business of burning some cds and such until i finally headed out with guy to do the afternoon's errands. we stopped at the bank and picked up my card (or should i say cards? for some reason they also had my insurance card! now i wonder how that happened…). we ate at the weed (tumbleweed for you non-louisvillians), stopped by compusa, and then headed off to the post office.

ahhhh…the post office. what a waste of time. they only had two registers open and one of them was being completely tied up by some foreign man getting a passport. he didn't seem to understand that passports were cash only. he then decided to not understand it the 600 other times the lady at the counter told him. and the three or four times after that, even. it wasn't a language barrier thing, might i add. this man spoke fluent english. he just kept trying to get her to put his total onto his debit card. some people, i tell you… there were about a million people in line and the other lady was getting swamped. i really felt bad for her. i got my transactions taken care of with a minimal amount of fuss, and then we were out of there like a bullet.

i stopped off at my house and picked up some laundry and met guy at the laundro-mat. clothes washing hi-jinks ensued. there was a fellow there that seemed like he was claiming every washer, running one guy off with a shout of "i was going to use that one!" ("i claim these washers in the name of spain!") i swear i've seen chimps act more civilized about whacking off than these people were about laundry. it was a shady, shady place, indeed.

clothes clean. time to go about the rest of my day.
