We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




Apparently, iTunes and/or Square Enix decided to take down all of the Final Fantasy soundtracks. Now I can only listen to them at home on Youtube.

Subsequently, I often spend hours listening to the old-school Pokemon soundtracks instead.

My friend was telling me about the first book that he just finished and it sounds nuts. FWP: I want to read it but I have too much to read, I have ~80 books in my 'to read' list on goodreads. I might just add it and get around to it whenever I can make time.

There must be a scientifically proven law somewhere that states the simplicity and elegantness of an instruction given by a manager is directly proportional to how frustrating, complicated, and time-consuming it is actually going to be.

My stupid thirdhand car just cost me almost $1500 in repairs (mostly because it's a VW, so all the parts have to be hand-carved out of radioactive platinum in Brazil by little bavarian elves or some bullshit) and now I cannot trust it.

Not like I've ever been able to trust a car I've driven, of course. The alternator in my poor faithful old 92 Corolla poo poo the bed shortly after it needed a new radiator; my 93 Escort threw a clutch AND the hydraulics to work the clutch but only the former got fixed, so six months later I was waiting for the tow truck AGAIN. It would be so loving nice to get into the car and not think "what horribly expensive bullshit is going to go wrong NOW, and it better not go wrong over the weekend because the place I take it to doesn't open on Saturday or Sunday."

It's a pain. I mean, this is the first car I've ever driven that is not yet old enough to buy its own cigarettes, that has magic beepy locks, and many airbags, and a rear window wiper, and four hubcaps that actually match and are original to the vehicle. I'd love to trust it. I just can't.

also I might possibly be getting a vague kind of semipromotion at work but it will mean I have to leave my carefully created lair and move to a cube with waist-high walls and no way to conceal my screen from anyone who happens by. :argh:

I got ambushed by a pair of spiders in the shower just now. The tiny little one crawling along the wall distracted me while I was blasting him down the drain, then a big white tail somehow jumped onto me while I wasn't looking and bit the back of my leg. I washed him down with his accomplice and now I'm left with a big red mark. :(

I'm having trouble adjusting to clicking the refresh button from switching between two browsers (Chrome and Firefox and the refresh button is on different sides of the address bar).

And one of the two books that I've ordered online hasn't arrived yet while I received my other one a couple of days ago.

I have a ton of delicious food in my fridge that other people would kill for, and I can't eat any of it right now. My boyfriend got sick a few days ago, and I caught some of it the day after. We've both been incredibly nauseous (though he had it worse, and was puking a lot the first day), and even the thought of food makes us feel incredibly ill. I had some hot cocoa a few hours ago, and my stomach hasn't let me forget how upset it is, even after getting medicine for it.

I just ate a few saltines and even that made me feel a bit queasy. The last thing I ate that vaguely resembled food was ~16 hours ago, and it was ramen so it hardly counts. I had a couple eggs and some toast another ~18 hours before that, so in the past couple days I've had what amounts to one meal. I am starving right now. :smith:

I'm still having trouble with this, and I switched to Chrome over a month ago. I used to love Firefox, but I can't run it on my netbook because it eats so much memory. Switching between tabs causes it to hang for several minutes, even if the pages are mostly text. I can open a million tabs in Chrome and it gives no fucks.

E: I forgot to mention, the one thing that bugs me about Chrome is that timg tags don't seem to work. If someone uses them, I have to right-click the image and open in a new tab. It's a really minor complaint, though. Everything else is great.

Also, I just discovered plain spaghetti is the best food ever. I was finally hungry enough to attempt eating, and it was the one thing in my kitchen that didn't make me feel nauseous just by looking at it. Didn't even put butter or salt on it. I was eating it out of the pot while waiting for it to cook, then I ate about half a serving, which felt like a grand feast compared to the last couple days. I want more, but I think my stomach is vetoing the idea. :(

If you get the SALR extension there is a fix for that. I think there's an independent one too but I can never find it.

I woke up from a nap, and realized I had an awesome dream and I will never meet the chick in it :smith:

It was a pretty hosed up dream (just nonsensical for a big chunk), but the end of it was pretty great. We ended up walking around some bigass mall in chinjapanistan and hitting it off, she laughed at my jokes, and we talked for a long time and really seemed to click. We had a lovely dinner and then I had to fly home the next day, and I woke up and realized "Oh gently caress it's a dream".

It was one of those "it seemed soooo real" dreams.

Oh my god, I love you guys. This fixes everything!

Now my first world problem is that my stomach is a bit upset, after I was finally able to eat real food. I had some pho for dinner and only ate half of it, and I really didn't want to waste it, but it's not something that keeps in the fridge very well. My stomach is gurgling loud enough for my boyfriend to hear and he's five feet away.

Also, I think I felt the exact moment when this illness decided to take up residence in my sinuses. It was like everything inside my head shifted a couple degrees, and now it just hurts. :(
