atm a no-go

 i went to perform at an open-mic tonight and tried to go to an ATM first. i tried five times, to no avail, to get cash, finally got the response on the screen that the machine wasn't dispensing cash. at first it said 'general error, we apologize' and i wondered if it was due to my card, which has had a crack in it for a while but doesn't expire for a few more months. so it meant paying for my beer with the card, and there is a surcharge for doing so. notable about my set was the one about banter heard between comics. guess this wasn't the only no-go of the day. i tried watching a DVD, a recent purchase, and i watched more than half of the movie but then it got stuck, disc was too scratched up i guess. so i re-ordered. it was the third e-bay or amazon order of the 3-day weekend. and i found some other things to do on my day off. i sent recycle to the capitol, and printed an event ticket. when i was at the copy store i was recognized or performing at the comedy club less than a week ago. then it was on to walgreen, where i hoped to get some trash bags but much like the bars of soap it was locked up. so i didn't get either, hopeful to find a store that doesn't lock them up. i am sure it is likely due to too many thefts. i did get some discounted christmas candy, and the tube of reese's pieces was eaten in the car shortly after purchase. i knew the final jeopardy clue and the contestants didn't, it was about the model-t ford. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when william shatner was a guest star, as part of wil wheaton's d and d game. it was followed by a season finale where leonard finds out priya is moving back to india, and bernadette is getting her doctorate. i like it because we hear howard's mom call sheldon 'the skinny weirdo'.
