oh, and some old fucker clipped my car this morning after i dropped jorn off at work. i was stopped at a red light, strategically and appropriately stopped in the center of my lane, and i feel the car rocking, so i look over my shoulder. there's a car trying to pull into the left turning lane, and the old guy driving it has no idea he's scraping my car, just that he's stuck and can't pull forward. he backs up and tries to move forward again, making contact with my car again. i'm amazed, and i scoot forward a bit in the hopes that this idiot will then have enough room to get into the lane he's so desperate to get into. then the light changes and he zooms off. i'm like, WDP? i looked at the car when i got home and there's a bit of a scratch--not that big a deal, since the paint on my car has a number of scratches on it. i mean, jorn's scratched the paint and i didn't make him pay for it. it would've been silly to chase down the old guy to try to make him pay for the damage, but i'm still like, hello, what was he thinking?
pissy thing #2: the mail. i ordered my Drusilla action figure from www.action-figures.net on february 20, and she still has not arrived. i emailed customerservice@action-figures.net on thursday last week, since it had been two weeks since i placed my order, and it should have arrived within 7-10 days. i noted in my email that i had paid $9 for shipping and handling and expected better service. when i arrived back from myrtle beach, i found one thing: a note above the mailboxes in my apartment building from one of the other residents, letting everyone know that someone is stealing mail and he's had several packages stolen. i did not find two things: 1) my drusilla doll, and 2) a reply email from the good people at www.action-figures.net. so i emailed them again last night, a good bit more annoyed, because first of all i'm a concerned customer and they're alienating me, and more importantly, if they haven't sent the package yet or if they can track it to see if it was delivered, i kind of need to know. if it hasn't been delivered yet, that's a different story than if some fucker has stolen it. so to the folks at www.action-figures.net: hello, write me back.
secondly about the mail, i picked it up on monday night when i got back into town, so that was the saturday and monday mail and the sunday paper. okay. then i slept at jorn's house, and i didn't come back to my place till this morning (wednesday). so there should've been tuesday's mail in my mailbox, right? no, there was nothing. i am all paranoid now, because i'm first of all wanting my drusilla and also expecting a car insurance bill which i'm not sure if they've sent yet. maybe they haven't sent it, or maybe they did and it disappeared. so i ask you, what fucker steals people's mail? why would you want to do that? i mean, i can understand stealing the credit card applications and other stuff, or even the packages (regardless of what's inside), but you're still an asshole, and you're fucking with people's lives even worse than if you broke into my house and took my tv or something. and what are you going to do with the bills and the personal letters, just throw them out? up yours, mail thief, i hope they catch you and you do serious time for your federal offense of assholery.

update: someone just knocked at my door--it was the mailman. i guess he's started bringing packages right to people's doors instead of leaving them downstairs, since stuff has been getting stolen. anyway, i had TWO packages--one from amazon.com (it'll be stuart's book--i ordered it--not as exciting, since i knew it was on the way) AND a st. patrick's day package from my mom! it contained an odd stuffed kitty with a green shamrock hat; a phone card; two dollar-store leprechauns figurines (one of which broke in transit and needs supergluing); a pair of metallic shiny green underpants; a pretty hippy shirt; a book about "Yeats: Romantic Visionary" that she got on sale (it has some poems and some really pretty artwork, and it'll look nice on my shelf); and two kitchen towels (not specifically st. patricky, though they have green stuff on them). so now i am much less pissy about the mail in general, though i do want my Dru to arrive RIGHT NOW.
