At long last!

November 27th, 2024 at 04:11 am

The DMV finally reinstated my license!  Of course, they could have done so much earlier, but instead, decided to take their sweet time through the ENTIRE 90 day period.  Still though, after spending yet another day standing in line at the DMV again, and after cycling through three different DMV reps, they finally reinstated me.

First thing I did was, well actually go downtown and update my other legal documents that required my driver's license to also get approved haha.  I managed to get that done the same day.

But the real place that I really went to after being able to drive again is the... grocery store.  You know, for something as seemingly mundane as this, to finally be able to drive there again though feels fantastic!

Red Box is no more

Remember Red Box?  Those vending machines you see in grocery stores and side of gas stations that let you rent movies and games for cheap?  Apparently, they were bought out by another company a while back, and that new company has declared bankruptcy.

Oh but there's more!  Due to the bankruptcy, these Red Box kiosks are largely abandoned now, leaving it wide open for some people to break open and plunder its contents.  Wild.

Anyway, a moment of silence for an affordable entertainment I used to enjoy.

Comfy pants

It's that time of the year!  That time where the weather is cool enough that I am finally digging out my winter clothes.  I used to do this usually around September, sometimes as early as August, but now?  I guess this year's "time of the year" is in November!

They still got food stains that can't seem to ever wash out no matter what I do, and holes I never got around to patching.  Still though, they are so comfy, I am reluctant to get rid of them, especially the pants!

I'll have to replace some day, but that day is not today!  Too comfy!

Experian spooked me

November 1st, 2024 at 11:49 pm

So remember how I said my accounts were compromised by that data leak by National Public Data breach?  Since then, I've closed a bunch of my credit cards that I wasn't using, and also signed up with Experian to help monitor my credit score.

Long story short, I got an alert not long ago saying I've got some kind of weird credit charge or whatever, on one of those presumably closed accounts.  I'm thinking to myself, "Hmm, am I misreading this?  How is this possible?"  I double checked online, and some websites are saying this could be due to a credit pull or something.  But if so, why does it show a balance, and that it's decreasing?  Anybody know?

Speaking of frights, anybody have a nice Halloween?  I accidentally slept through mine haha.  Guess I am getting old and tire more easily or something.
