Holy poo poo. I can't imagine seeing something like that. :stare:

It's not the first time and won't be the last.
The type of work I do means that I sometimes see people die, I've seen spousal abuse go unpunished and human trafficking. The world is sometimes very horrible.

But not today. Today is when I still have to work but I may get some room-temperature turkey and canned cranberry sauce :unsmith:

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

I have to leave halfway through cooking to take care of something at work, a sixty minute round trip, that any of my coworkers who all have 20 minute round trips could take care of instead.

I also accidentally turned my oven off halfway through baking the ham so cooking will take even longer and be even more disrupted by this stupid task that'll take me a fraction of the time of the travel.

It's 8:15 on a Friday night and my neighbour is mowing his lawn. Why is he doing this? It's practically dark outside and it's been raining all evening. I can't imagine a scenario where he couldn't have waited till tomorrow morning.

I'm trying to post some videos to instagram and they're taking forever and I don't know if it's my internet connection or instagram itself causing the slow down.

My friend and I are having a big combined birthday party next weekend and I really don't feel like having a crazy bender but I don't want to be the buzzkill sober guy that stops everyone else from having fun.

It's more drugs than drinks. My birthday tends to be the one weekend a year I let loose but I'm really not feeling it this year. Maybe I'll have changed my mind by next weekend though.

My friend and I finally got our schedules set so we can hang out at night and start the rpg again, but now she's too busy with her new job.

I ordered a Pikachu hoodie two months ago and it's still not here. USPS says it was in LA last week. And there it stays?

There has been no update to the Pet Island Secret Santa. I guess it's off this year.

Ever since I found out I'm a diabetic, I've had an annoying increase in craving for sugary drinks that I formerly had little interest in. Most of my life, I've had an energy drink every once in a while. Maybe grab an orange/apple juice at the store that'd last me a couple months. Otherwise, I was a dude known for regularly drinking water or milk.

Now? Now the amount of times I randomly have the desire to have something that I otherwise wouldn't is through the roof. I'd be one thing if I was craving things that I had to cut down on, but nope, this is purestrain "That thing I never wanted, now I want".

e: the worst part about it is that my sugars are actually getting down to reasonable levels. It's like my body got used to being hyperglyemic (never had any of the symptoms of diabetes outside of the high blood sugar) or something.

I sorta miss the books but mostly as decoration.

In the theme of the thread's title, I think Thanksgiving dinner (and all the leftovers I've been eating) has done a number on my gut the last few days. It's like there's a Cold War inside my stomach, and I know it's going to be terrible when it will turn Hot.

I miss my mom in times like this. She had a lot of GI issues and I wish I had someone to commiserate with. :smith:

They're both bad endings, just that one is a thousand times worse.
But seriously, a faithful adaptation of IAL would be really loving weird and I would love it.
For those of you not in the know:
The main character is a Nordic dude without much education and a pretty strong Christian faith. His former coworker (boss?) becomes hive leader of the vampires. Every night they come to his house to get him to come out (they can't enter uninvited). Even the women strip and try to provoke him in to a sexual frenzy. However he is too pious to fall for it.
He spends his days going to the library trying to make a cure but pretty much fails over and over. He decides to go and just kill the vampires during the day where he can find them.
He's eventually caught and put on trial for murdering vamps in their sleep. He's become the monster in the night and sentenced to death.

Yeah, The Omega Man is I am Legend. They changed the book title for the movie. But in the movie he escapes, creates a cure, and dies heroically. In the book he just gets executed.

I am Legend has been made into a movie 4 times, and only one of them uses the same title.
