oops i did it again



thursday, being an uneventful day at work, i thought it was a good time to go to costco. i wasn't going to join the line of cars waiting on the right side, so i thought i'd go down la jolla colony a bit and make a u-turn somewhere. so as i'm making the small tight curve to get onto la jolla colony from genessee, i see a motorcycle cop flagging down this car in front of him to not stop, but the driver stops anyway. so i pass them, make my u-turn further down than usual (so i don't have to make an illegal one. so my mind slips a little bit and i'm doing 60-65 in a 45mph zone, directly towards the cop in the oppsite direction. i'm forgetting that i'm speeding, and driving a little spiritedly and i realize, hmm, i better slow down...the cop was around here. too late. he puts on his lights right when i see him. since he's going the other direction, i'm not entirey sure he's turned on his blues just for me...even though i didn't see anyone in front of him to pull over, so i check out my rear view mirror...still hasn't made a U yet...so i decide to gun it so that he'll lose sight of me at the curve back to genessee. even if he catches up to me, i'd figure i can just pull over when he's directly behind me and say i didn't realize he was trying to pull me over when he had the lights on from the opposite direction. him being a motorcycle cop, there was a good chance of this too. so at the end of the curve, instead of getting in line to get on 5S, i make a right to get on the 5N. i get off Nobel, keep a constant eye on my rear view mirror, and decide to go home later.



i think its the 3rd or 4th time i've done something similar. i gotta admit i've always had a fetish from running/hiding from figures of authority. nothing is sweeter than getting away from possibily getting a ticket. if at any of those times he was directly behind me i would have pulled over for sure. but since he wasn't, i wasn't going to make it any easy for him by slowing down or whatever.



other new things....i'm back on my original plan to not spend money during weekdays at lunch or dinner, except on birthdays, special occasions, or eating out with friends i don't see on a semi-daily basis.



i saw gothika yesterday. and as much as i would like to love it, i do not like scary movies. i don't like being scared. there is no thrill in it for me. it might all go back to the fact that i'm a very visual person. i get too involved in the story and remember the pictures too well.



acupuncture is going okay....the acupuncturist is really generous with her time and services. i'm glad i found her. the needels are okay except with the one she puts in my big toe. every time she needs to do it (2 times so far) it feels like she's put a nail through my toe....the feet, and it is because feet/toes have a big representation in the brain.
