Just hosted an awesome Christmas party with my wife where we had a lot of good food and people brought cookies for people to trade. Of the five people I invited who at least said "Yeah I might be able to make it" none of them showed up so it was all my wife's friends in attendance

The little rubber o-ring that holds my watch's excess strap broke off at some point, so now the rest of it dangles annoyingly.

Smartphone app interfaces appear to have been designed for right handed people and as a left-handed person it's really annoying when I press the wrong thing.

The cat used the litterbox and it smells but I'm wrapped up in a comfy blanket and don't want to get up. But it smells bad. And I also need to go to Target but again, I'm comfy, and it's cold outside and I don't want to leave the house  I don't really have any excuse to keep laying here either, because I've read all my bookmarked threads. Good bye, warm, comfortable bed

 Those daggum hipsters over at the Apple store tricked me into getting a 5s! My 4s's battery died and I couldn't get it to come back on with the "new" fangled cable. (The one that doesn't hook in and unhook when you press the sides in. It just clips in and out.)They said it was completely dead (probably because all the cables at the Apple store are the newer cables, with no clips) and I need a new phone. Paid upfront for the 5s because gently caress contracts + first world problem, since I have a job and the money to get a new one. When I got home, I realized "Oh poo poo, this has happened in the past and I vaguely remember bringing the phone back to life, with the old (clip in/clip out) cable, even when the non-clip cable fails to power it on. Today, I got to work, plugged the 4s into the old cable, with the clips and now it's back on. I could return the 5s and probably hold out till next fall/save myself a few bucks, when the 7 comes out and get the 5s for less money, then but.... I don't want to. I already went through the hassle of updating the OS, restoring it from the backup point, adding all my email accounts back, re-connecting all my accounts to the apps and all that time consuming poo poo. "New" phone is 4x as fast and the processor really makes a difference. The display is a lot better, etc. etc. and the 4s feels like it has the density of a dying star. Just the fact that I put myself through roughly 4-5 hours worth of effort what with buying the phone, case, screen protector and then restoring/re-configuring it translates to an hourly wage of what I'd have possibly saved, had I waited until the 7 came out and the older models dropped, in price. Whatever, now I have a device dedicated to pooping.

I put on my shoes and went to check the mail (it's been rainy) and I got an orange card in that says COME GET YOUR poo poo, so I got ready and grabbed my wallet and was all set to go, and then I checked a box that was delivered on Sunday and realized THAT WAS THE DELIVERY BOX, so basically I got ready and put on pants and all that jazz for what amounts to no reason

I have to avoid Facebook and probably SA until I see the new Star Wars movie because I don't want it spoiled by a few of my jackass friends and/or random trolls. There goes most of my internet entertainment and coordinating things with friends too hip for group texts.

BrigadierSensible posted:I want to travel overseas for my winter vacation, but plane tickets are too expensive. Sounds like a 3rd world problem. I feel a bit guilty because my project deadline got pushed back after the christmas vacations when my company closes for 2 weeks .The others from my team still need to deliver their stuff before christmas. So I can more or less chill and enjoy the last few workdays instead of being stressed of meeting my deadline.

After two failed attempts to re-deliver (they never even tried) I got two buses on a rainy December morning to the depot because I thought I was getting a Christmas present or something. Turns out it was a letter from my letting agents telling me my rent was going up.

My friend is being all melodramatic about the new Star Wars and saying he refuses to use any social media till next week to avoid spoilers. The fact the very second someone left the theater and posted on every Star Wars wikia and the main Wikipedia page means nothing to him. BTW dude, the main spoiler was already revealed in an interview when Ford said he wouldn't play Han Solo again. I want to tear down my old window blinds and just put up stained glass applicas but I don't know if that will block out people looking in and seeing me. My friend came out as asexual to me earlier this year, which meant nothing to me on an "OMG!" level because cool, you aren't into physical sex and since I don't want that kind of relationship with you, it doesn't affect me. I'm glad you're comfortable now. But every loving week she's posting some new asexual meme or affirmation how great it is not to be bothered by sex and I see more posts about that than anything else. Even loving Star Wars. Somebody has a new favorite as of 03:25 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Speaking of Christmas, can I please, for gently caress sake just have one day where I can rekindle a little bit of lost childhood and get The Witcher 3 as a present? Sure, I could buy it myself, but for the first time in my life, I wanna get a goddamn videogame from one of my parents, as a Christmas present. Plus, the best gift of all: Knowing my dad had to go into a Game Stop and interact with a Game Stop employee. Growing up, I'd always ask for some game for Christmas and the response was always "No, you're not getting a video game! You already have video games and you play them too much!" Ok, fair enough. I was never a nerdling shut-in but I can see why my parents would rather I play with friends than sit inside, on a nice day, playing games. But now... -I'm loving 26 -I work MUCH harder and make more money than my mom. -My dad is retired and does the same thing day in and day out. Wake up, go to the gym, come home, manage his IRA, watch sports and go out for dinner/drinks once a week. -My last week's schedule was... Saturday: Jim Jefferies stand up show at a theater. Wednesday: Pan Pot at a night club. Thursday: Trailer Park Boys live. Friday: Got drunk (again) and had a bunch of friends over, for an impromptu party. New Years Eve/Day is gonna be madness. On NYE I'm going to the Bruins/Canadians Winter Classic alumni game, to watch Knuckles beat the poo poo out of some poor, middle aged gently caress. Then I have a New Year's party + my friends got a table that comes with 3 bottles, at some club. On New Year's day, I'm going to the actual Winter Classic game. I've been burning the candle at both ends. I do more in a week than most people do, in a month. I have a few days off, coming up and god dammit, I'm gonna spend them hole up in my room, in my pajamas, playing video games and watching movies.

I was just thinking how a few months from now it'll be time to update my phone, and I'm honestly a little upset that I'll probably have to catch up to the last decade and pick a phone that uses a touch screen keypad instead of a physical/pull out one which annoys me to no end and I feel like such a dinosaur for it, but my current phone (the photon Q) was kinda crappy from the start and was the best keyboard phone on the market.
