I can't find any lyrics sites that have Steven Page's new album and a couple lines that I can't decipher are really negatively impacting my sing-alongs.

Also, why doesn't iTunes give you a little virtual lyrics booklet like hard copy purchases do, come on guys.

As the poet Corey Taylor said... "People = poo poo"


It's my understanding that D&D has long had a gender change spell so really people are pissed of that someone might use the spell because they desire to do so?

Honestly my life is so much better by not paying attention to news or politics. Maybe not in a "larger society" kind of way, but at least in terms of anxiety and anger.

I bought a really nice pair of Bluetooth/Wireless headphones, but I cannot get them to work on my computer (which is the only purpose I have for buying them). Bought a separate BT USB dongle to do so, Windows (7) doesn't have a "bluetooth peripheral device driver", and every google search to try and find one either wants me to download software that won't let me install anything unless I pay 20bux, or pings every "this is not a trustworthy source" alarm I have.

E: yay, got drivers installed, but the Bluetooth window that I'm supposed to click "Listen To Music" on does nothing. I give up. First time I find solidly built on-ear wireless headphones in years, and I have to return them. This sucks :smith:

I'm pretty surprised apple hasn't figured out a way to pop the lyrics into id3 tags or whatever metadata they use now, and have that actually keep pace with the music as it goes. No special formats or anything, just a few hooks in itunes that look for the meta info and some markers to keep it aligned ever 15 seconds or so. Look down at your lock screen to see the previous/current/next line of the song.

Yeah, right? Come on Apple, do us a solid.

Also I have another one, I'm ordering lunch and this place has a "mexi-burger" with guac and onions and salsa and chipotle and queso, which is more or less a list of things Bird likes on her burgers, only I'm not in the mood for a burger at all and so while it sounds delicious I don't want to order it but I'm not seeing much else I want on this menu??

Because I returned those awesome headphones I mentioned earlier, I had enough cash to buy a new Fitbit. I haven't used the old one I had for years because I kept breaking the belt clip for it and didn't want to do the same for the Fitbit itself.

The FWP comes from logging foods. Sure, if I go to McDonald's I can quickly log the Bad For Me food, but generic stuff? How do I log the pizza from my local theater? The smoothie from the gym? :negative:

Complaining about cold again.

I'm at my moms house, which is one of those lovely mass-built houses made out of cardboard, so the walls don't do anything to keep the heat in, AND she has the thermostat set to 70, which actually feels more like 60, and its some fancy thermostat that resets itself constantly so I have to keep walking over there to set it back to 80.

I HATE COLD, WHY don't I live in like, Hawaii or California?


OH and I had to scrape ice off my car, it's goddamn April! loving climate change.

The package tracking on some of the stuff I ordered is atrocious. One still says "Arrive at at Processing Center" from last Friday while I actually received the package today. Why can't I have a real-time, cm-level accurate tracking as it would be appropriate for 2016?

I got caught in a bad hailstorm last Wednesday and I've had a cold for almost a loving week. I had to call in sick at work, which I hate, and now while most symptoms are gone, I'm still a little phlegmy which is just annoying. Also I've had two nosebleeds in the last two days as a result.

On the plus side, my throats cleared up and I'm loving STARVING so my appetite has properly returned. YAY! Luckily for my timing, I've already got my tea in the oven and will be eating in 12 minutes :3:

Also I have a new Umbrella and Tomorrow I'll be picking up Dark Souls 3, so silver linings.

Mine didn't. I ordered a couple that took a week to get here from Amazon. They seem to work fine, but don't have the "ultra fast charging" my phone claims is going on when I use the USB-C charger it came with with a super short cord. Supposedly data transfers faster on them too. Plus my G5 is supposed to have all these other hardware accessories hit the market that plug in through that end I guess to add temporary features to the phone, like a better camera or a hi-fi speaker.

My mom likes to drag out stories and will not get to the loving point.

Also I have been in charge of the daily "safety emails" for two months now. I am sick of it. I keep telling my boss to give the task to someone else and he shrugs it off. To add to it, every time a new person is hired they need to be on the list, but we have 2 or 4 D Harveys and every one needs their own email (which is your name) so every one has some stupid mark in the center. So there's a D_harvey, a d____harvey, a D Harvey, etc. Outlook keeps showing them as errors so I have to manually type them up every loving time. I think tomorrow i'll email the group en masse and tell them it's someone else's turn so have fun!

I don't know if this really counts as a first world problem, but I'm really annoyed at deceptive pricing schemes on poo poo.

I've kinda been considering getting a gym membership lately, since I miss having one and the last one I had was a bit too pricey for what I used it for. Planet Fitness is cheap, only 10 bucks a month. Great, right?

Sure, it's 10 bucks a month, but they don't tell you about the 40 bucks a year as well. Oh, and they only take checking accounts for everything, not a credit or debit card.

They probably only take checking accounts because, as I've found first hand, by far the easiest way of getting out of a gym membership is to just cancel the card that they're charging.

I think this is a USB 3 thing, so it'll only work if your computer has USB 3 ports, which are the blue ones.

Yeah, but that kinda stuff happens because everyone and their mother has heard a story of Gym X forgetting that someone cancelled a membership, extra fees for quitting, etc.

Related to my last post, my current FWP is that I can't decide what gym membership I want to settle on. There's a dirt cheap one right by my apartment with what little I need, but the tour of it just made the place look and feel kinda gross. There's one that's more expensive, but the place looks a lot more kept up, with machinery that looks better/cleaner.

Someone accidentally set their phone to forward their calls to my number today, and so I've been getting phoned all day by idiots who can't understand that phoning the same number twice in a row will get you the same person both times. One particularly persistent idiot's got a private number so I can't even block him. And almost none of them are even polite about it. What makes people think it's OK to respond to "Sorry, I think you have the wrong number" by just hanging up? Or respond to hearing an unexpected voice answer the phone by just hanging up? Are you children? Also, I've lost count of how many conversations today have started:

:) Hello.
:downs: Hello.
:) Yes? Hello?
:downs: Who is this?

You'd think they'd never used a telephone before. You called me, idiot, tell me who you're looking for. And when it turns out that you've called the wrong person, apologise, and then don't immediately call back. Also don't call back an hour later. Or an hour after that. And don't complain to me that your friend's redirected her phone to my number. Believe me, if there were anything I could do about it, I'd have done it.

I got called on my cell by callcenters all the time and I'd just not respond to them when I picked it up. The awkward silence at the start was always very serene. I'm now just blocking all the numbers, and I'm also thankfull for apps that realise when it's a callcenter so I won't even need to pick it up.
