Just a few slices of that pizza I mentioned earlier were enough to weigh my stomach down to the point where its sending out "no more food, ever", but the rest of me hasn't eaten in about eight hours and is telling me to eat something.

This is not a pleasant sensation. :(

I can't really have goat milk since I got my gallbladder out. It's so fatty and delicious that it just fucks over my GI for the day. A lot of my favorite foods do that now, and regular milk sucks for drinking.

I bought Destiny 2 and almost immediately the motherboard (probably) in my PC broke so now it won't turn on. All it leaves me with is the new Gran Turismo which is TOO HARD and my Switch which I've already played a whole bunch and didn't want to buy more games for just yet. I've probably spent more on video games this year than any year in recent memory and I can't play half of them.

More problems

1)I want to remodel my bedroom because the closet doors are this stupid design where, in order to access the closet, you have to slide one door over the other, so you have only half access to the closet (see pic at bottom). This is such a stupid design. Also, they are shittily made because the glass is starting to detach from the doorframe so I had to use duct tape to keep it on. These are also a crack hazard, which could hurt my cats. That happened in the the glass door in the hallway, but at that time I had money so I was able to get a replacement immediately.

I would love to replace the doors myself but can't because a) I'd have to buy new tracks to replace them from double track to a single one, and I suck at measuring so it would not align b) note in the pic at the bottom, there's this glass thing that goes OVER the doors I have no idea how to remove that without breaking it, and it's glass obviously so it would break easily. c) my apartment was built shittily so the opening for the closet doors isn't standard so I'd probably need custom order doors, which is expensive.

2) it sucks rear end when I'm having sex because me or my my sex partner can see us having sex and I am super shy and insecure so it sucks.

3) I really want to paint the room because I hate its' color. You can see it in the pic, it's like diarrhea color.I know how to paint walls very well but I'd have to:

4) move the furniture, patch holes (I am decent at this but not well, so it would look good). So I need to hire painters because there's a ton of big holes in the wall from removing furniture after my divorce--removing shelving units from walls etc. And also I wouldn't be able to sleep in my bed for a few days.

5) for the painting, I'd have to board the cats, which is expensive.

6) I can't afford it currently.


Pics:

See the rollers at the bottom, and how one door is intended to roll over above (one below) the other other




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Notice the duck tape. Btw, I know the door looks dirty,but it's a reflection from another mirror. My door is clean.

Also note how one of my cats ripped out the bottom baby proof out of the wall so I had to get a new one.

My apartment managers (plural, because the management team has switched several times since we moved in a couple years ago) keep misplacing my renter's insurance. They then send me messages saying that I'll get in trouble if I don't provide proof that I indeed have insurance. WHICH I'VE GIVEN THEM AT LEAST 3 TIMES ALREADY. :argh:

After some Youtube research I finally found out how to make delicious Indian style curry and now I'm never ordering Indian takeout again because mine tastes so much better. The bitchy part is that it takes a long time to caramelize the onions and temper the spices otherwise it tastes like bland crap.

Save some of the sauce, then next time you order a pizza heat up the sauce and spread it on top of the pizza.

The next door neighbours have something that makes a weird noise and it's faint and doesn't bother me but I don't know what it is and I really wanna know. :( It's like a low humming sound that goes on for about 10 seconds, then a slightly louder hum with more vibration overlays it for like 3 seconds and then it all abruptly stops and there's silence for a brief period before it starts again. What is iiiiiiit

E: It's something that's on constantly from the sounds of things, I only really hear it at night because everything's so quiet otherwise

It doesn't sound as clear as that thankfully, that's an extremely unpleasant noise

We have fairly good soundproofing between the walls I guess, I only really hear the neighbours if they're raising their voice, so this humming sound is more... bass-y? It's one of those kinds of noises that I can still hear even if I have loud white noise playing from my phone, but it's not intrusive and easy to ignore. It was still going when I woke up this morning and I think it might still be doing it now, though it's harder to hear now that there's more general noise around.

More commercial complaints: I just saw the exact same lady, albeit with a different hair color, in two back-to-back commercials.

I also have one of the melodies memorized despite having painfully have to mute it every time there's an ad break. So, another FWP: there's no Mute button on my iPad--there is but it doesn't silence streaming tv when you're watching it. So I have to go out of my way and hold down the down volume button until it mutes. Ughhh

Fake edit: Stealing is a strong word, since I haven't said anything to her and it would be weird to do so, but that's why it's a FWP.

Yet another one: I'm watching the Menendez Murders thing on a&e and he and witnesses are saying things like, "my mom locked me in the closet for days; she always said us kids ruined her life; she could have been something if the kids had never existed; she never wanted kids" BAM cut to happy family dancing around a Lexus.

Like come on. You are Comcast. You can and DO tailor your ads when you want to. But then sometimes you want to be a piece of poo poo and ruin----oh it's Comcast why am I even surprised. They probably find it funny, sitting in their board room with the devil and Mr. Burns in his scary chair.



-marketing director: why yes, when people are bawling their eyes out about the death of a whole family and their loyal pets, let's cut to a commercial about happy families, puppies, ice cream, and Random Product within each shot! All with a voice over by a fake-super-fake-happy person!

-everyone in room: good idea!!!

I spent a sort of once-every-other-year (I am not particularly well-off) amount of money on a bucket list purchase: two extremely large (46" x 34") prints I adore, and custom framing for them (which, even with a coupon, was pretty costly).

I went to hang them this evening, and they both came down off the wall, because the brackets weren't secured well enough to the body of the frame, so they were incapable of supporting its weight. Those brackets just ripped right outta there.

I called the framing store, and they were super nice and more than willing to make it right, but I still have to haul these unwieldy things back there, and this is about the fifth kick in the loving teeth I've had in forty-eight hours, so I'm a little demoralized.

the Friday the 13th game just released it's Virtual Cabin 2.0, which is basically a digital museum of Friday the 13th stuff including behind the scenes facts on the movies and the game. There's also a bunch of puzzles and secrets hidden all over the place, I've been real excited for it for months since I LOVE looking for secrets and poo poo!

Well they ran into some sort of issue releasing the update on Steam and Xbone, so only the PS4 got it. That's fine, I can wait a bit longer.

Well turns out some PS4 streamers managed to solve the virtual cabin and now everyone's dumping unmarked puzzle spoilers, and the huge surprise at the end. Months of anticipation for some jackass to hotdrop the big surprise at the very end completely unnanounced. Like yeah I'm still excited because it's an awesome surprise but boy howdy I sure woulda liked to have Been Surprised by it.

For a while we had a fantastic USPS carrier. She was cheerful, polite, and friendly, and actually put packages on the chair we have sitting by the door as intended if we weren't around. I think she retired some time around Christmas 2016; she was old enough. We had actually bought her a gift because she was so great, but she just never showed up again.
Since then, we've had an assortment of people who clearly don't enjoy their job, who just put stuff wherever on the front porch, regardless of weather or temperature. Oh, it's 20 degrees and sleet is on the schedule? Better put this on the absolute edge of the porch so even the tiniest breeze will make sure your package gets wet and frozen. At least they always put packages on the porch somewhere, never in the yard or in the bushes.

We have had UPS leave notes that no one was home to sign when, in fact, I work from home every single day and there was no knock at the door.

I hate that these couriers are given unmeetable goals which leaves them forging signatures and lying about people not being home. Nobody wins.
