You damn Zombie bastard. |8:55 PM| I got caught in a speed trap today. Don't get me totally wrong here, it was still a bone headed screw up on my part that got me caught, but it's clear the cops were waiting there for a reason.
The road went from 65 to 55 very quickly, and I had been travelling at 10 over as Austin cops won't nail you until you break 10 over. This info is not so much hearsay, as it is directly from a high ranking APD officer. However, when I hit the 55 zone I hadn't started to slow down yet so all of a sudden I'm doing 20 over. On go the lights, ticket goes into the hand DAMMIT. I've always been given just a warning, since I'm usually not speeding some absurd amount through a school zone, and I say "sir" a shitload. Luckily, I'll be able to take defensive driving and it'll blow away like leaves near a street cleaner. The cop's last words to me were "I really appreciate your courtesy", too bad he didn't let me out without a ticket. Crap.
I've been doing a lot more sleep walking-type activities lately. My roommate told me today she caught me sleeping with my eyes open on the couch twice now. Each time she's engaged me in conversation and not known why I didn't answer until I woke up startled.
I also woke up in the middle making out with my girlfriend. Apparently I'd started the whole thing, and she wondered why I suddenly became so perplexed looking in the middle of it. Also, she had to convince me not to sleep while leaning against a wall a little later, after I went for some water. Sulz says it's not healthy to be that tired. Bah, if I can crush a little more active time out of my weekends, I'll gladly sacrifice sanity, as well as freak out those around me.
Speaking of Sulz, I'm heading to Phoenix this week. Hopefully I can still pull off the plane tickets, but this is going to get tricky if the damn IRS check doesn't appear soon. I may be forced to drive there, and that's fun the way there, but christ is it bad the way back.
