Went to Wal-Mart. Need light bulbs. Picked up one 4-pack of bulbs. Looked at price. 96 cents. Grabbed seven more packs. Not sure why I only buy them four at a time. Toy department was obliterated. Bought two more spray cans of metallic black paint. Bought lots of dog food. This time the cashier did not scan each of them. I think the giant scary cashier lady from last month had 'special' instructions about how she should scan in multiple items. I can see the manager saying, "Man, she's a special lady and special ladies need special instructions." Okay, so that's not funny. Work with me, it's late and I am dreading going into work tomorrow (holidays rock).

Saw What Women Want last night. Very funny movie. Not sure if I liked the last three minutes, but still well worth my time. Castaway was also a very good film. The third act (the last 25 minutes) left me feeling sad. Wondering how I can get in on those test audiences that they preview the movies to before deciding if they should change the ending. They must have been on a mental holiday to let these slip by. I will give everyone a month to watch these movies before I detail how I think they should have ended. Going to buy a Digital-8 camera and start making movies again. Watch out.

Have to go to Harris County Precinct 5 courthouse tomorrow to drop off proof of defensive driving. Dreading that even more now that I think about it. So many tickets. So little time. My next date with the law is January 5, 2001. Houston Police Department. 70 in a 60. I've plead not guilty and plan to use the Jedi Mind Trick to the best of my advantage. Need to get that dismissed because I took deferred adjudication for the 30 in a 20 school zone dealio a few weeks ago. Bleah. I will master this one day. Considering trading in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo for another DeLorean to use as a daily driver. Probably won't do it since it is only a two-seater and has minimal trunk space (plus I'd miss the convertible top). [sigh].

Taught my dog how to close a door and turn on a heater. Next week he's getting his learner's permit.
