I got pulled over last week and was given a fix-it ticket for having an outdated registered car. it's been unregistered since november of last year! i still have an orange sticker while everyone else has blue or even yellow for 2005. oops. so i took a trip to AAA during lunch to get it renewed, since my coworker told me that you can get renew your car there and avoid DMV lines. of course the line was still hecka long, and then when i got to the counter, i discovered i needed a smog check as well. conveniently, AAA also does smog checks, so i tried to do a drop-in, but they were booked. thankfully because i then discovered it costs $80 to get your smog check done at AAA! what a ripoff! so now i have to go get my smog check, get a certificate, take it back to AAA, get my sticker, go to the police station, get a cop to sign off my ticket, pay the dumb $10 and mail it all in. man what a pain. guess i should have noticed earlier that my registration was expired. i never got the dmv notice in the mail... but i mean seriously, who notices these things? apparently the cop who pulled me over solely to tell me that my registration was expired.

okay boring entry. that's all.
