I have a lot of little aches and pains, and last night my knee started clicking audibly when walking down the stairs. I think I'm getting old.


Edit: The little skylight in my living room just sprung a leak. It's raining really hard right now, and it's supposed to rain most of the weekend, too. It's also the middle of the goddamn night so I can't call the landlord and I'm sure as hell not going to try fixing it right now.

How old are you exactly? Enquiring minds need to know before we can sympathise / laugh. For reference I'm 40 and have no such aches and pains.

Put a bucket under it and contact your landlord at the earliest convenience.

Frozen pipes, leaky sink (hopefully not related!) yet the repair bill won't larger than my insurance deductible. Sucks to be you, savings account.

I have $X set aside from each paycheck for Fun Monies, but so far nothing is jumping out at me to buy so I dunno what I'm going to do with it. And then today I found out that I'm getting a pretty significant raise, so now I feel MORE pressure to buy something neat because I should celebrate the raise.

The answer to this question is always more polish. Noricae's about to release those flakies...

I was gonna say buy me polish, but I think your idea is way less weird.

Speaking of, my FWP is I currently have one lemon cuticle balm but I will be getting like 3 more thanks to a beauty box I ordered and buying more from Noricae because her scents are amazing. I have too much balm, not nearly enough cuticle.

I'm only 28. :(

I put a bucket under the drip but in order to put the bucket on the floor I had to pull the couch out at an odd angle and move a bunch of stuff out of the way. It stopped dripping like an hour later but the bucket is still there just in case. Landlord will be emailed because I can't find the phone number right now.

I have AT@T Uverse in my house and I have lost track how many times in the past few months how many times it has gone down. What's worse is that it went down yesterday and the tech spent two hours trying to get it back up.

Now I have to spend my Saturday at home waiting for him.

Netflix's ranking options don't include a "I liked it, but only ironically" button. Just because I loved this horrible B movie doesn't mean I want to wade through suggestions of a dozen others that aren't as perfectly stupid. For that matter, it doesn't have a "I loved it, but only because of nostalgia" button. Just because I like one rom com from when I was a kid, doesn't mean I like them, dammit.

Forget Skynet, how long until Netflix becomes self aware?

Netflix is suggesting I watch something called Nude Nuns with Big Guns, which comes pretty close to being an SEO optimization for "movie I will probably never watch."

My local supermarket has run out of stock of the amazing snacks that come out at Christmas so I'm stuck with boring non-seasonal snacks now.

I've got the world on a string.


Metlife just canceled my auto insurance, using the excuse that I was in a weather-related accident more than six months ago. Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that I just turned 25.

edit: This is the same company that had me believing for a month that the other person in the accident was suing me until a representative finally called to inform me that they had mixed up files from a completely different case.

I found out andouille is reasonably easy to get up here where I live now, so I'll be making gumbo a lot more often.

I genuinely fear becoming bored of gumbo. :(

My friend told me about a movie, where John Cusack and Robert De Niro have a macguffin that involves a bag, and while I really don't want to see the film I am wondering wtf is in the bag.

The movie just came out on VOD today so there isn't a wiki to spoil it (yet) :(

At the vet clinic where I work an older woman came in to drop her dog off for grooming and poo poo her pants in the lobby. I know it's terrible and not funny but I still can't stop laughing every time I think of it. She walked out with her underwear in a trash bag.

I am a terrible person but I can't stop laughing.

I work IT at a hospital and one of the projects I'm working on is migrating the pastoral care call in log from an ancient and terrible 97 database to a fancy pants new sharepoint site. But as I'm moving the data I keep accidentally catching snatches of the descriptions of the call in log and it's all "10 day old patient died, provided counseling for family" and "mother miscarried at 7 months and asked for baptism for her baby" and "provided counseling for father after wife and children killed in car accident" and it's making me really sad and I don't want to work on this project anymore.

I made pizza for dinner and by the time it was ready I was already full of cheese, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and pepperoni. I also made way too much pizza and really hope someone else puts it away so I don't have to.

When life becomes too painful, sometimes it's better to just become a drunk.
My boyfriend's mom is in the hospital and I can't do anything to make him feel better. Also, I found out by accident that the new guy at work makes way more than me (and it's not due to experience or anything that would warrant a bigger salary) and I'm super uncomfortable asking for more money so I just have to wallow in my sadness. I also can't whine about that to my boyfriend because he obviously has more important things to worry about.

I just want to whine and I've already whined enough to my one friend who would care about all this.

It's taking for god damned ever to format this drive so I can back up my ps3, which in turn will involve taking a long time, and then when I swap drives I have to restore it which will take even more time, and dammit it's 2014 why this poo poo gotta be slow?!?!?

Also I kinda want to order pizza hut but at the same time I don't really want to deal with people or driving or having people come to my house.

Try this: it's the fact that the host KNOWS he's not opening the door hiding the prize that shifts the odds toward the third door.

If instead, he guessed randomly and just happened to pick a loser, then the odds are 50/50 for your door and the third door just as you would expect. (6 possible outcomes: 2 you were right the whole time, 2 he chooses the winner, 2 where it's behind the 3rd door)
