I am incredibly upset over my favorite member of my favorite musical group planning to leave said group this fall.

The reason why this is a first world problem is because it's a J-pop group who lives off rotating through their members. :(

Netflix is down, according to this.

Except when it's enough to load the main page, but not anything like the search, or the little pop-up so I can get to the actual TNG page and change the episode that auto-plays.

I don't own a smartphone and surf the internet from a desktop computer, yet half the Wikipedia and news articles linked nowadays shuttle me to mobile versions of those sites, which are ugly and dumb and take two seconds to get to the regular version of the same page.

Let me introduce you to the wonder that is Dr Pepper Ten. See also: A&W Ten.

You're a kind goon to recommend it, but it is not available in England. On the plus side, it is available in America, which is where my fiancee lives, so when we finally tie the not I can get that poo poo all the time.

I have a burning desire to order something from amazon to have it overnighted so I get it on friday, but it's too late for about 05% of the stuff, and I also don't NEED anything, and won't really be home to get it anyway.

It's just a weird compulsion to buy something to get something delivered.

That's why I spend all my money on nail polish. Once my package is delivered I feel the need to having something else on the way. Good thing I prepaid for a subscription box or I'd blow all my money when I'm trying to not buy anything for a while.

I have a $600 Delta voucher. Putting aside that the flights that work best for me this time are with United, I have to book through Delta's website, which is two hundred pounds more than booking through Opodo would be. I'm still saving a nice amount but gently caress.

And of course the Delta site is hosed six ways from Sunday right now. :saddowns:

I got a check in the mail a month or so ago for my left over student grant (little over $100) and got another today for a little over $700 now I'm wondering if it's a fluke and if I have to call anyone just in case. I don't want to call anyone, but I don't want to pay it back if I don't have to either.

My laptop is almost out of space so I decided to transfer most files to my external hard drive. After an hour two the transfer was complete and I deleted the files from my laptop. Or at least I thought I did. I actually deleted them from the external hard drive and had to start all over again.

I ran out of sugar yesterday and forgot to get more so this morning I put some palm sugar in my coffee and it didn't really make it sweet and it tastes kind of bad but not bad enough to justify pouring it out :(

I also ran out of butter yesterday so I couldn't make toast this morning and had to have a bowl of rice for breakfast instead.

One of my friends needed something notarized and I told him to go to any bank. He went to the local Bank of America because it was closest to his house, and they said they waive the fee for customers. He didn't think he had an account with them, but gave them his name to look it up anyway.

That's how he found out that he's a Bank of America customer. No big deal, it's easy to forget about an account when you only have $130,000 in it :rolleyes:

I went grocery shopping and told myself to buy more beer while I was out. However, I completely spaced out and forgot to buy more beer. Murphy's Law be damned.

I do not want to drive my car back to the store and fight traffic. Therefore, I am being forced by society, Murphy's Law, and the laws of physics to drink this unopened bottle of wine instead.

I'm pretty sure the laws of physics prevent you from drinking an unopened bottle of wine.

I think my friend may have the most hosed up first world problem ever.

He has to learn how to poop again. Apparently the doc gave him some new meds for his IBS and they kinda work different than what he's used to, so now he's like "gently caress I'VE GOT 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH HOW MY BOWELS WORK AND NOW THE poo poo IS ALL CHANGED"

So, basically I just txt him and laugh cause he has to learn to eat all over again, so he knows what causes his flare ups and what doesn't.

Pooping. It's serious business.

The subway was actually efficient this morning, so I had to stand around work for twenty minutes waiting for someone to come open it up for me.

While here, I had to entertain a client's kid for a while, so we had a unicorn-drawing contest. I actually like the resulting unicorn, but it's on the back of a piece of scrap paper and the backside shows when I scan it. I'm uncertain if I'm able to reproduce it, and can't put it in my portfolio.

I entirely forgot about mother's day and made a bunch of plans I can't break, and my mom is leaving me a series of increasingly forlorn and guiltsome notes.

I also forgot about mother's day, and it is too late for me to send anything meaningful. I know my mom is expecting something because she hasn't talked to me in a week. I'm just gonna call her.
