Valentine’s Day was never a gift giving day for us, we just get heart shaped pizzas for dinner and now the kids love it too. We did spend the day at IKEA though, and spent $1000 on kids beds and mattresses because they had both outgrown their toddler beds. Now I get to build 2 beds that have about a million pieces each.

I have a history of buying things we'll both use (pan, knife, vacuum, etc) but this year with everything we went through and stuff we're still dealing with I splurged and got some shiny stuff...and a good set of floor mats for her car. She took the day off and we went out for a nice lunch at a restaurant we hadn't tried before. Pretty good day.

I just got back from margaritas with my wife, which has become our Friday thing, then dinner at my parents with my brother and his wife. They just got back from Japan and Meltykiss Yuzu is so ridiculously good that it may be worth a trip to Japan just to procure a quantity.

Those both sound great. Ended up making a frittata with onions, mushrooms, gruyere, and bacon. As delicious as it sounds. Good songs on the radio too. Might pump up my Fit’s tires on Monday on a day off. Things to look forward to I guess.

My new girlfriend was nice enough to ask my opinion of 02/14 ("between indifferent and mildly disgusted") so we settled on cooking things for each other. She's second-gen Cuban from Miami, and since I've never dabbled in Cuban cuisine I tried my hand at black bean soup and picadillo. I hosed up the soup by adding waaay too much of my Death Powder (finely ground Carolina Reaper, Ghost, and Habanero pepper), but she loved the picadillo. She made me gooey butter bars and Extra Lemony Lemon Bars I ate like half of them. She says that she now understands why I don't keep sweets in the house (because I have little self-control when it comes to sweets, and with lemon bars I become a madman.

My girlfriend is completely totally obcessed with anything Tomb Raider. For Valentines, I 3D printed and painted some ice axes for her cosplay stuff. Then found a Weta Workshop 36 of 500 movie prop bow and arrow still in it's original shipping box from Weta. I've got a signed by Adam Hughs Issue 1 of the comic from the 90s hiding away for her birthday.

I don't mean to sound snarky, but I chuckled a little. I've been chasing the three oldest for bedtime solo since the new baby, six months ago. It's especially fun on Friday after the kids are exhausted from a long week and go into over tired hyper silly mode. Really, I need to reset my attitude and be more patient. It is what it is, and the kids are fine, I just have trouble when they're not cooperating and I lose my temper too easily. Last night was about as expected. Wife ended up picking up dinner on the way home from work, and then kids went to bed in their usual chaotic manner. We ended up just hanging out in the kitchen talking about whatever and then went to bed. Anniversary is in (now) 9 days, I'll have to see if we can do something around then.

So my boss came up to me today. (the good guy boss - he's back from medical leave; rear end in a top hat grocery boss got shipped off to another store over sexual harassment) "Hey, I just posted a full time overnight stocker position. I want you to apply for it." rear end in a top hat grocery boss had promised me "full time status within 3 months" when I got hired (along with several other people), but of course claimed he never said that. I've been rattling cages about wanting FT status. I automatically get medical insurance after 1 year if I average 32+ hours a week, along with vacation (and I already have their 401k), but I want the rest. Plus I didn't like being lied to by previous boss. I'm also up for a raise this month. Yay! e: I should point out I've mostly worked 40+ hour weeks since I started. I was at 38 when I clocked out today, and I work tonight. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Feb 15, 2020 |

I do a fair portion of the routine already, and the majority of the time I enjoy it. On the good news front, I'm happy to overpay the Gov because I do not like being surprised by bills. Our refund should cover my wife's dental surgery which is a huge relief.

Because Citizens United hosed our entire system up. In just 10 short years, we've gone from a barely-controlled democracy to a winner-takes-all clusterfuck where the money is front and center and running the whole goddamned show. Until Citizens United is controlled (which is square on Congress' rear end, since Roberts said in his opinion that the law says "x," and it's Congress' job to legislate it to become fair... but Congress won't, because they've had 10 full years on the teat of big money and gently caress all y'all if they're giving that up), we're hosed. Oligarchs are a really lovely thing to import from Russia.

Not sure how much they cost, but both options are practically unheard of on UK cars, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only one left with both. The A/C makes me curious as well, as on prelift XU9-equipped cars, A/C couldn't be fitted on RHD models at all due to layout issues.

I bet everything will be fine, but I want some backup, just in case... Whenever we install a system they throw a DSLR on a tripod, set it to record and swap the card as necessary. Could do the same with a gopro, on not-max res it would take a while to fill a card. Any conversations you want to record just make sure the camera/mic is close.
