Hi! I'm still here.
I realize it's been...some time since I last journalled. You know how it is...you fall out of the habit for a while and it's a lot harder to fall back into it. Not much of import's been happening, save for a couple of incidents to relate...but since it's been a while, I'll make this a decently lengthy entry anyway.
Let's see...a week ago last Friday I was driving a cow-orker home as a favor. By some odd coincidence, this particular cow-orker is a fellow livejournaller as well, under the handle![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starrpixies. Anyway, I'm generally a pushover as far as niceness is concerned...but she did need a lift after work, it wasn't too far out of the way, so I figured why not, build up some positive karma.
I had just dropped her off, and was congratulating myself on said karma, on how surely something nice should happen to me now...when I see flashing lights behind me and a cop pulls me over! I wasn't speeding or anything; it's just that my license plate is apparently required to be specifically on the front bumper instead of showing in the front window where I currently have it. (You wouldn't think so, as many cars as you see around that have it there.) I've been driving for a couple of years now with it like that, ever since an accident tore off the front license plate holder. Guess it's time to go ahead and shell out for a new one, especially since inspection's coming up next month.

In other news, Pepsi's iTunes Music Store bottlecap promotion has finally hit town, and I've gotten four free songs so far—two on Pepsis I purchased myself and two on bottles I found in trash cans. (Yes, I rummage trash cans for Pepsi lids. At 99 cents of value per lid, I think it's a worthwhile pursuit...especially since I don't think I'd be able to spare a buck a song on very many lossily-compressed tunes when I can probably find the CD itself used for about the same price, or the same lossy songs for free on peer-to-peer. (But I might change my mind after I play around with the store some more.)) I've also asked cow-orkers who drink Pepsi for such Pepsi lids if they run across any.
(Oh, and if any of you Pepsi-drinking LJ readers out there get free song bottlecaps and don't plan to use them, please don't throw them away...please save the codes and email them to me! Pretty please? It's a shame to let them go to waste.)
I think that's about all I have to say for now. It's about time for me to get to bed so I get enough sleep for work tomorrow. In future entries, remind me to mention the CCG Workshop implementation of Shadowfist and provide my thoughts on the current season of 24.
