I went to the buffet at the Wynn and even though I thought that the buffet was really nice, I don't think that I got my money's worth, I just didn't eat enough. I went in the morning, around 10 AM, and it was really crowded, and then afterward I went driving around town looking for something interesting. I tend to take this blog in different directions and revise things here or there depending on my mood, and as a result it's changing constantly, and it keeps changing and it will continue to change and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

I'm pretty light now in terms of personal possessions. I'm wondering what else is sellable on Facebook Marketplace. I kept two hammers that I really like, they're really new, and they are both really well made. Well, I think that it's a total of three hammers that I kept, one is a jeweler's hammer. I'm worried about the next few months. I could potentially have a huge tax bill, and I have a limited number of options to reduce my tax liabilities before the end of the year. Maybe this is one of those years where I just have to eat it.
There was a minor disappointment the other day. I asked someone for a letter of recommendation, and she didn't want to do it. We met at some bar in Kentucky back in June, and we chatted, and I asked for her phone number and email address, stating that I might need a letter of recommendation at some point in the future. I sent her a message on LinkedIn the other day, asking for the letter of recommendation and she basically isn't familiar enough with me to really make any kind of recommendation one way or another. She also asked me not to ask her again.
I did get a letter showing that my registration for an Assumed Name has been recorded with the Tarrant County Clerk. The Registration for my copyrights for some of my Letters from Sanford Street haven't been dealt with by the U.S. Copyright Office, and my Assumed Name registrations haven't been recorded with the Secretary of State of Texas, and, other government related bullshit, well, the Town of Panama Called me about a speeding ticket that was issued several months back, they weren't aggressive or anything, but they just told me that I can pay the ticket over the phone, so I did that. I tried paying it online, but I received an error message, and I wasn't able to pay it online, so I sent the Town of Panama, or maybe I sent it to the County of LeFlore, but I sent a letter with screenshots of the issue, or a printout of screenshots of the issue.
...
I did something interesting the other day, well, a few things actually, I sold additional stuff on Facebook, the previous day I sold a sledgehammer, axe, and pickaxe, I'm really not sure why I bought those things, but yesterday I sold eight hammers, smaller ones than the ones I sold on Facebook a few days before. Another thing that I did that I would say is interesting is that I bought US Treasury bonds. Well, US Treasury Bills actually. There are a number of different securities that you can buy from the US Treasury, there are savings bonds, and those are why I was setting up the TreasuryDirect account, it seems that I can only buy US Treasury Savings Bonds through the TreasuryDirect account, but anyway, the other day I bought US Treasury Bills through my Fidelity account.

I went to the DMV, and they don't take walk-ins anymore, everything is by appointment only, and this works, because I set up my appointment already, and it's for next month, and I have everything I need, the emissions inspection, my insurance has been changed to Nevada, I have documents with my new address on it, and, I had the VIN inspection performed. Is there anything else that I need to get done? I don't think so. I did set up a TreasuryDirect account, or, I mean, I got the process started. It isn't as simple as setting up an online account, setting up the online account is only part of the process, the other part of the process is mailing in another form that needs to be reviewed by your bank. I went to Citibank on Aliante Parkway. One of the strange things about the Dallas / Fort Work area is that I don't remember any Citibank branches in the area.

"remember the citrus"
This is where the things
that you think that you
remember turn out to be
memories that you yourself invented
You enjoyed the taste of
the lemonade but really
what you drank was orange
juice and you think that you
tasted citrus but you really enjoyed
the taste of oranges and not
lemons
She told you to drink from the tap
like a man, but you just really weren't
into that, you really didn't want to drink
from the tap, you are okay drinking from
the fountain you are okay when you drink
fountain drinks but you are not okay
drinking from the tap
Lemonade does not come from
the tap, even when the tap is loaded
with lemonade,
lemonade only comes from the soda
fountain, even though lemonade is not
soda
we can be friends
actually we can't even
be friends
you're just too fucking weird
you do weird shit and i
don't want to be associated
with you in
anyway
These wilted flowers shedding
petals blissfully in the sad faced sun.
at the beach lips on both sides
of the lips on both sides of the
wilted flowers shedding raindrops
blissfully in the morning sun i want
to say something original but i can't
think of anything original to say
she was clowning on me she was
picking on me or poking fun at me
and i didn't even realize it, but I'm
sure it was totally harmless and
maybe even well intentioned

My schedule for tomorrow, Monday morning, is to head to the DMV to get my Driver's License, and Vehicle Registration complete, and I was also informed that I need a VIN inspection to be performed, which is something that I was told while getting my Emissions inspection performed. The guy at the Emissions inspection place informed me that the number of times a vehicle has been registered refers to when a vehicle is purchased, and when the vehicles registration is renewed, so if a person owns a car for 3 years or whatever, there's the original registration, as well as two subsequent renewal registrations, which would count for a total of 3 registrations. Anyway, after I get that done, there is some paperwork that I need taken care of at the bank to open an account with the U.S. Treasury to buy savings bonds. I'm not sure how useful setting up this account will be, but I think that I'll go ahead and do it.
So, even though I haven't lived in California in a long time, technically I'm a legal resident of California, I haven't lived in any other state for longer than five fucking years. 1 in Nevada, 2 in Missouri, 2.5 in Texas.

Sometimes when I'm watching documentaries on historical battles I get into this mood where I want to waste time playing Total War on my computer. I know that playing computer games really doesn't accomplish anything, but so many things in life don't really accomplish anything anyway. So, what does it matter? My computer was running really slow, and it continues to run slow under certain circumstances, but I messed around with it and turned off a bunch of programs that were running in the background, and it seems to be working better. I was seriously considering buying a new computer, but I don't think that I will unless it runs horribly slow.
