Also, my right hand has been hurting for several days, the bruise just now finally showed up. Interesting.

I hate cyclists. Absolutely HATE them.

I go through a merge into a two lane entrance to a rotary. Cyclist flies up the middle between the cars, blazes out in the rotary, then comes a little right into my lane directly in front of me. He's doing 17 MPH. He stays in front of me, takes my exit from the rotary, and still stays in the middle of the lane through the S curve, dropping to 16 MPH (I have the HUD, so I see it with precision). We clear the curve, he finally moves over a little, I go by him, and jump back up to speed - it's a 35 zone, so he's nowhere close.

Then I run into traffic, parked cars on the side, line of cars going into an intersection. He cuts off the car behind me to go into the middle of the lane to get past the parked cars, and then when he comes up directly behind me (as I'm stopped waiting for the light), he goes around my left side, into the oncoming lane, cruises by, and blows right through the intersection without hesitating.

Fucking asshole.

"Your year of FREE Two-Day Shipping will end on 09/07/2011. As a valued Amazon Student member, we would like to offer you an Amazon Prime membership for only $39/year (normally $79/year)."

Strange, but they're telling me it's already ended, and I need to sign up. :(

Signed up. I figure I get $40 worth out of the shipping.

Oh, and now it tells me...

"Use maximum points available $41.70 (4,170 points)"

LOL!

I don't know if those points are joint points for the entire CC line, which includes a card for my mother (the primary and controller), my father (he doesn't even carry it), and me (the only real user of it).

Since I have (until just recently) been the only Prime holder, I get to buy everything. Apparently I can use the points, but I don't know if those points are 99% mine or 100% mine.

And before anybody comments how my parents are paying for it, no, they aren't. They pay the bill, and I pay them.

And my mother now has Prime, I don't know why.
