April 19, 1999

I got the over due tape fine blues. I owe Blockbuster about $15 and Hollywood around $7. I can no longer shop at Albertson's because I owe them $11. I owe so much at Hastings that I take another road to avoid the clerk seeing me. My picture is posted on the counter as perpetual offender. I'm not alone in late fee hell. This high school teacher confessed to me that she sent a student to the video store with a couple of bucks and her movie card to get a movie needed for class. The kid calls from the store and says "Mrs. Smith you have late fees and you didn't give me enough to cover them and get the tape." The teacher asked the kid if he had movie card. Knowing his classmates were counting on a movie and would kill him if he was the cause of class work dittos... the kid applied for and got a card. The movie was successfully checked out. I know yall were in suspense. I know of a copy of Full Metal Jacket that is under a certain college student's bed. It's been there for two months. He thinks if he leaves it there it and the late fees will disappear. CRAP! I just remembered my car payment was due yesterday.
