argh

...so now that I've finally finished online traffic school and am almost nearly energetic enough to continue (finish?) the doujinshi translation, my complete transcript has disappeared again. I can find my semi-streamlined transcript, but for some reason I didn't copy out the last page.

--oh wait, I should've known that's why the Shadowcat has been nesting in that odd corner under the futon. Now that I've wrestled the transcript out from under him, back to work. (At least this must mean that it's good-- cats never sit on written material unless it's worth reading.)

Online Traffic School? Is that where you go online and learn how to avoid traffic?

No, wait, I know! It must be school to learn how to avoid too much traffic on dial-up?

Ok, then, this Has to be it: You make your way through Online Traffic when you go to School?

All right. I give. WTF?

Whatever it is, I'm sure your transcript makes Exquisite Reading for Shadowcat!

It is the standard L'Academie Du Traffique for keeping points off your DMV record, only online and breakable into small bite-sized pieces so your head (and butt) won't melt from being parked in a small cramped room for eight hours with other people who were caught speeding etc. Pretty handy, really, and cheaper than the usual sort too. However, it's still timed to make sure you spend enough time staring at the information-- or in my case, making at least one small origami box per page. There are now truly insane quantities of small origami boxes near my computer; the cats won't even bother playing with them anymore.

(Anyone who points out that "traffique" probably ought to be grammatically feminine is cordially invited to bite me. Especially if they've been consuming caffeine. At least that way some of the stuff might get into my bloodstream.)

Then again, since it's Strawberry Season, the cats have been busy chasing down all of the evil strawberry baskets to Kill Them Daid. All I can do is try to keep up with them by providing a steady supply; half-flats of strawberries are $7.00 at the farmers' market twice a week, and I've been demolishing each half-flat before the next one can arrive three or four days later. Mmm, strawberries.
