Today, my history teacher gave us a sheet detailing what the final exam covers. The final exam is in two days. Every other teacher gives us the outline sheet loving weeks before the final. It also says that we're covering Somali pirates on it, which we haven't even touched yet and given that people have do show their presentations on Tuesday, I doubt we'll have time to do it before the final.

Got to Season 5, episode 8 of Breaking Bad on Netflix before I realized episodes 9-16 aren't on Netflix. Now I have to wait a month to see the end of the series.

I'm torn between buying a toyACTION FIGURE I don't need, or a tablet to read comic books on, cause I can't afford both.

I have a tablet, but this one is better and new and shinier.

OFFLINE GAMES ARE THE FUTURE OF ONLINE GAMING

The numbers don't lie. 99.99% of every Diablo 3 player wants the game to be offline. This is a FACT.

OH SHIT IS THAT A WEBCAM? HOLY CRAP GET THAT AWAY FROM ME! (I am terrified of being spied on, because I am a very interesting person)

I lost my wallet but got it back (with everything inside) but I'd already reported it to the police and now I'm afraid my driver's license is flagged as "stolen" or something in The System.

One of the low beam headlights burnt out in my car. My car is a Mazda 6. I need to take it to a shop to have a stupid headlight replaced because removing a tire plus assorted hoses and what not to change a bulb is ridiculous and I'd rather pay the $75 than bother with taking my car apart.

I guess I'll have to pay them a visit tomorrow. Didn't have time today.

Also, last time I went to the police station (to pick up a new passport) I had a hell of a time convincing them I was me because I didn't look enough like my driver's license photo. So now I'll have to go there and be all "Oh hey this is a driver's license with a photo that you don't think looks anything like me and has been reported stolen. I just popped in to say it's not. Thanks, bye."

My friend threw an absolute shitfit tonight because I refuse to drive 25 mins to her house and take her to get Wendy's, using up all my gas and prob 2 hours of my night. She texted me this huge rant about how I'm a selfish oval office because I won't be her loving chauffeur. Bitch, I work tomorrow, stop trying to guilt-trip me because you want a frostie.

I guess her first world problem is that I won't drive her rear end around. Mine is that my friend sucks and tries to make me feel lovely for not doing every little thing she wants.

I did the exact same thing last time one of my headlights went out. I'll happily pay someone to do it for me after I discovered the bullshit you're supposed to go through to do it yourself.

To change the headlight in my car you first need to turn the wheel all the way in the opposite direction, jack up the vehicle, remove the wheel, pull open the wheel well, then find someone with freakishly long and thin basketballer arms to be able to reach through a maze of metal and tubing to the headlight casing. Then you need someone standing over the engine directing them where to go because they won't be able to see poo poo and then they need to open the headlight case and remove and replace the globe all by feel.

Yep, great design Ford.

Eh, if it makes ya happy, go for it. I have a bullshit budget, which means I set about :10bux: or so aside as a "If it strikes mah fancy!" so if I decide to buy cookies or a fountain pen or a small flash card or something that I wouldn't normally buy, I don't feel bad about it. I rarely use the budget though. It's not hard to set up :10bux: a week or so for just random stuff. I rarely use it, but if I do, at least I don't feel too horrible about it.

I've been pestering him to get his knife guy to do the silver and gold plating for years, and apparently the guy FINALLY came up with it but it's right after I spent some cash on a tablet I didn't ABSOLUTELY need to own. That's the only part that kinda stings. If I would have known about it literally a day ago I could have NOT ordered it, and had enough $$$ for both a gold and a silver.

Now I have to choose, and that's just lovely :saddowns:

A while ago there was an XKCD comic about writing a program that has 1 dollar a day to buy a random item that costs $1 or less after shipping. Unsurprisingly given the audience, at least one XKCD reader wrote a program to do exactly that.

I lost my wallet and after replacing all my cards and license my boyfriend found it in his kitchen under an old pizza box. A few months later Bank of America freaked out and replaced my card because it may have been compromised. I changed all my card number twice but forgot to change it on my anniversary present order and they cancelled it without giving me a chance to fix the order.

Having to change credit card info is way too frustrating. I always forget one recurring payment every time.
