when darren and i moved into our apartment, it came with a microwave. maybe that's standard- maybe it came with the apartment. or perhaps the previous tenant left hers behind because it was a piece of shit (and she left a lot of stuff behind. it's the reason i have a popcorn bowl, a muffin tin, and a broom). seriously- we moved in april of 2008 the only buttons that worked were the "minute +" button and the "stop" button. and sometimes defrost.
so maybe we just got hosed and moved into the apartment with the crappy microwave, or maybe the girl who lived there before us didn't want to deal with moving it because it sucked. either way, it's completely dead now. i should probably email the landlords and ask about it.
the thing is, microwaves are expensive. the cheapest ones are like $60 and according to reviews, they suck. decent ones hover around the $100 mark and up. yet one can purchase a decent dvd player for like 40 bucks. this seems wrong to me.

oh you have got to be fucking kidding me.
since darren was told his license would be valid again as of 6:00 this morning, he decided to drive himself to court this afternoon. he appointment was scheduled at 1:30. he called me at 1:29 to say he had been pulled over. is he going to get in trouble (again) for driving with a suspended license? i do not know. he shouldn't, but he probably will, because that's the way things seem to be going.
at least the car is insured.
fuck you dmv, fuck you farmington police, and fuck you, universe.
kindly shoot me now.
EDIT: darren was speeding when he got pulled over so he got a ticket for that, and his tabs were expired (we had no idea!), so he got a ticket for that as well. those two tickets plus the fine he received in court today total just under $500 and we have until the end of november to pay them all off. so he'll work overtime and we'll live like paupers, but it'll be okay. the cop didn't write him up today for driving without his license. he was able to find out what was going on and told darren he understood the situation and just wanted him to get to court and get it all sorted out. thank god.
also! as you probably recall for as much as i've blogged about it, darren had court today for driving with a suspended license (not his fault because he didn't know) and driving without insurance (totally his fault for not renewing insurance the second his car was running again). the judge (or whoever he saw today) told him that he could choose one to be left off his record. obviously he chose the license thing. yay for a cleaner record? yes.
so in the end, it's better than i/we expected. whew.

virus'd.
darren passed his exam so he's licensed again. pip! i mean, he still has to go to court tomorrow but he passed his test and american family sent all our insurance information to the state on wednesday, so as of 6 am tomorrow, he can drive his car again.
assuming it starts tonight after he jumps it, because the battery is dead.
and he'll probably still have to pay a fine, but since he got insurance and his license, it won't be as big.
excellent.
in other news, my laptop, remus, is sick. i was watching house on the intertubes last night when suddenly i was getting pop-ups from security software that i don't actually have. then everything started running all slow, so i closed out of the internet, turned off wireless, and started running a system scan. then darren got home and i handed it over to him because he has the knowledge that i do not. then- blue screen. but it exited the blue screen and restarted itself, but of course once it was up again the pop-ups kept happening.
so he's going to acquire a windows disk (i ordered the computer direct from the manufacturer and it came with vista installed, but no vista disk) and reinstall it. he says he can install something other than vista, which i would prefer, but keeps talking about knowing someone who probably has a vista disk. so. whatever, i just want my lappy back. fortunately the few important documents i had, i also have saved in my email. smrt.
