I need to take off my thick, warm winter coat to get ready for bed, but the momentary cold that I'd be exposed to by taking it off and putting on my pajamas is something I really don't want to deal with.

The mediocre middle-eastern restaurant by my house was replaced with a sandwich shop.
Overall the food is better but the specialize in huge gut bombs so most of the customers are gross fatties and their gross fat children.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I got a rebate card for a video card I bought a month ago except it won't work on Amazon or Steam, probably due to not having an address attached to it or something, and when I checked the balance it was already a dollar less most likely for verification purposes on one of those sites. However it's only $10, now $9 although that might be temporary, so I'm probably just gonna shred it rather than try to deal with it.

I know it's too late and you may have found out by now already, but I wouldn't upgrade on a work machine if I were you. My first world problem today is I installed 10 on my laptop and it BSOD'd about an hour after I started using it. On a Surface Pro 2. The computer that Microsoft themselves make. If they can't get it working right on their own hardware, it's probably even worse on other manufacturer's.

I didn't have any issues with it for the 4 hours I was using/messing with it. See how it goes today. Came home all excited to upgrade my laptop and desktop, nope Microsoft is rolling it out in batches.

It's Friday night, I've had a few drinks and I've decided that I want to watch some wrestling so I have to go to the WWE website and reactivate my Network subscription, then I turn on my PS3 but I can't open the WWE app until I do a system update which means I need to reconfigure my wireless network settings. But my router was slightly out of range so I had to physically move it closer to the PlayStation. Then after the system update installed I had to change my PSN password and now the goddamn WWE app is updating.

I just wanted to watch Wrestlemania while I had a buzz going :negative:

Basket of Adorables


I went to one of the top restaurants in my country last night for dinner to celebrate my partners birthday. We paid an extra $40 each to have black truffle on the lamb course in our 9 course degustation menu.
I'd never had truffle before and was expecting it to be amazing. It smelt really good but I found the taste to be a bit disappointing really and not as good as I thought it was going to be. I feel like a foodie fraud now.
At least the rest of the menu was amazing and Neil Perry is the only chef who could persuade me to eat licorice and banana together in a desert. So that was nice.

My favorite drink is a Hot Tamale, which is just fireball, uv cherry, and ginger ale. :unsmigghh:

Ain't nothing wrong with fruity drinks. Just never order drinks which require a blender. Every bartender hates blender drinks

What use had they for tricks and cunning, living in the enemy's warren and paying his price?

Grimey Drawer
Amen. I saw a good price for a Monster High set my niece will love, so I bought it for her birthday, forgetting I had already bought her another set for her bday. So for Xmas she is getting one and birthday the other. Hope she doesn't stop liking the drat dolls before then.


Three of my foster kittens went to an adoption event and I was told they could stay in the Petsmart adoption center since they had had their rabies vaccination. Right before closing I get an email from the adoption coordinator, who tells me I need to come pick up one of the kittens because her rabies vaccine form wasn't signed by the vet. The form the rescue has had for two loving weeks and just now saw there was no vet signature. So I have to call the vet, get the signed form faxed over, oh but wait, I don't have the fax number to the store, just the rescue. I finally get the store fax number, and have the records sent. For the next ten minutes there is nothing from the store so I keep emailing the coordinator to find out if she got the loving paper. So after twenty loving minutes since the first email I get one that says "got it thx." Now. Since the coordinator said the store was DEAD and they had no one to help adopt anyone, and she had all the loving phone and fax numbers herself, WHY THE gently caress DIDN'T SHE, AS HEAD COORDINATOR OF THE ENTIRE loving EVENT, TAKE CARE OF THIS poo poo HERSELF.

Facebook is great for letting me know which people I know and like through various fish clubs are horrible bigots, racists, women haters, and overall people who would judge me as a murderer or a slut if they knew I ever used birth control pills. Damnit dude, don't keep posting the "PP murders babies!" memes. Because now I won't be able to look you in the eye when we meet face to face anymore.

I'm a bouncer at a bar/restaurant in a busy downtown area. Normally our customers are really chill, and we haven't had a fight inside since we opened a few months ago, but tonight there was a serious verbal altercation right outside that started to turn violent. It was between a really huge dude and his tiny girlfriend(?), so we were pretty concerned. He started screaming at random bystanders from the bar next door, then came over to me and the other bouncer checking IDs at our bar and threatened both of us just for being there. Neither of us could call the cops with him in our faces, or his three friends that came over to try intimidating us, so my husband made the call. When the cops showed up, they pretty much told him to gently caress off because he's not an employee or a victim. Apparently you're not allowed to call the cops if you're just a concerned citizen. Or if your wife is being threatened. :wtc:
