Going to a wedding in a couple weeks and I really want to buy new pants or shoes or something to wear to it, but I can't justify spending money on new nice clothes when the nice outfit I've had for almost a decade still fits me really well. Probably better now than ever before even, because I actually have some muscle. I know quite a few people who wish they could still fit into the clothes they wore in high school, but because I'm such a cheapskate re: clothing it's a curse because I never update anything unless it's actually falling apart or I'm running out of space to store it.

The more I read about the casting for American Gods (Gillian Anderson as Media! Ian McShane as Wednesday!), the more ridiculously excited I get, and it's not coming out for ages. Plus I guess I'll have to subscribe to Starz now, which I'm pretty sure is too many streaming services, though I think I can do it through Prime.

I burned my lunch of sweet potato fries. I still ate them but they were not very good. I let one stupid crap thing at work snowball and now I have to write an explanation to my boss and his boss as to why a delivery was late by ONE loving MINUTE.

When you get those collector cards on Steam, now to sell them you have to confirm it on your phone for some reason.

I'm on holiday at the moment and keeping up with LPs really isn't a top priority, so I'll have hours of stuff to catch up on when I get back. Like I mean you could even consider that a good thing and I partially do but man that's a long time to sit down watching people play video games for the internet.

Any world problem: just as I was going to bed, I heard a loud domestic dispute from one of my neighbors. Woman screaming and wailing, guy yelling, things hitting the wall. I don't even share a wall with that apartment but it was pretty clear that things were not okay over there. Neighbors and I called the cops and I think they apprehended someone, but I'm really worried that someone may have gotten seriously hurt.  First world problem: I'm all worked up now and can't sleep even though I'm dead tired. I guess on the upside, emergency response times are pretty loving quick around here.

My issue with that show is, I watched two and a half seasons and it was exactly the sort of show I like and could watch forever, and then it started turning into something else that isn't nearly as good. I'm hoping season four reverts to the formula and puts the whole battling AIs thing into the background.

It's going to be above 100F for the next few days (and much more frequently this summer) and my landlord bought me a pretty nice AC unit. After seeing how unusable the top floor had become, I guess it was cheaper than lowering my rent for three months. I need to install it but I gotta poop! edit: For clarification, the top floor had windows that would not accept any form of AC so he's going to help me take one off and shim the unit in.

The same people who schedule A-Kon for June in Dallas  The heat is part of the reason I no longer go to either. That, and they're on weekends, and I work weekends. Maybe if I pester my boss about it, I've been there 3 years, I should have *some* PTO...

It's been in the 70's and 80's lately. That's too hot for me. I also got a mild case of food poisoning and I'm kind of dehydrated from all the making GBS threads. I had to buy sports drinks on a day I didn't want to go anywhere.

On my new phone, I pulled down the newest version of TouchTunes because I seemingly have a fetish for wasting money at bars playing music. It's totally different looking and is totally usable, but man.

My parents 13 1/2 year old Labrador is going to be put down tomorrow She's an old dog, who's avoided any sort of medical problems her whole life (except for getting a cracked tooth pulled). But back on Thursday she couldn't get out of bed, thanks to both her back legs suddenly being paralysed. As far as the vet can determine, a blood clot got loose and into her spine. We've waited the weekend to see if she miraculously improves, or if it's something else like just a bit of temporary swelling in her spine. But she's shown zero movement in her legs so uhh... She isn't in any pain either, she just sits around on a pile of towels we keep changing since she can't get up to pee/poop. It's frustrating how there's nothing else wrong with her, but she can't spend the rest of her life sitting on pissy towels looking all miserable and stuff.

I have to price out new parts for a PC because my laptop I was using broke. I'm now trapped between pre made and "I haven't built a PC in about 10 years" fear, plus I haven't kept up on the newest or any tech poo poo. I just want to 3d model and play vidja games like skyrim in high res. Why is that so loving complicated and expensive?

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I haven't built a PC in about 10 years Then you're in for a pleasant surprise. Putting a computer together these days is pretty much hassle free, and if you could do it at all ten years ago then you can do it now with your eyes shut. And if your concern is that you don't know what to buy, check the PC building thread.

Can confirm; if you're literate enough to read the instruction books and have at least a basic idea of how to build a computer, it's smooth sailing. My current gaming rig is the very first PC i ever built myself and the only hang-up was getting Windows to install (just had to put it onto a flash drive).

slammed my nose on my steering wheel, didn't go to the doctor because it didn't really hurt. a week later I noticed my nose is now crooked, I expect it's to late to do anything about it beyond some kind of surgery.

I'm sorry about your dog, am sure he had a great life. Animals never live long enough. My FWP is that I bought so much Italian Ice at the dollar store that now I am paranoid the freezer will die and all my frozen goodies will become trash.

Today they're making SPANISH ROASTED POTATOES. I'm not hungry but this smells so good  I just realized my window is open which is making the smell stronger because my window is at a 90 degree angle to their kitchen window, almost literally right next to it. It's so close that I even made eye contact with the lady once. What cruel demented rear end in a top hat designed this building?

I decided to try setting the auto brew timer on my coffee machine for the first time last night so I'd have coffee all ready to go when I woke up. I guess I didn't do it right somehow because there was no coffee so I had to do it manually and wait like an extra 10 minutes UGH

My interest in coffee is less "enjoy the flavor and savor the aroma" and more "a genuine addiction to caffeine that requires daily fueling or headaches and crankiness result".

An Amazon distribution center recently opened up nearby, and because we have Prime, we get free same-day shipping on most things. It's less time and money to take advantage of that than to drive out to Target or wherever, so we order stuff fairly often. Problem is, that means a lot of boxes piling up. And this little bastard makes me feel bad about recycling them
