It wasn't an LP, I mentioned it in the PYF Little Things in Games thread. I have done a few LPs though of Haunted Mansion, which is on the archive here - http://lparchive.org/Haunted-Mansion/ and a Dog's Life LP that hasn't been archived yet but it's pending.

You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.


I went to drop one roommate off for surgery, and when I came back another roommate had half my stuff in the living room blocking the door. He was halfway through trying to steal my room. I amazed myself by not kicking his rear end. I did get my room back but gently caress that guy he doesn't even pay rent.

So like, what WAS his thought process here? That you just wouldn't notice or mind?

So I've been off work since Monday and jesus am I bored as gently caress. I already hurt my back sitting in my computer chair for too long. I have read a book, watched a season of Angel on Netflix, and yesterday my girlfriend taught me how to crochet. Today my grandmother is in the hospital again and she has completely borked her spine from the last few falls she has had. My mother is worried that she won't make it back out of the hospital, she was already so frail and the more time she spends in bed the weaker she will be. Also she has some kind of infection so we had to put on masks, gowns and gloves before we could even go in the room.

I found out yesterday that my boyfriend was assaulted and has a broken back and I haven't been able to see him yet because of my school/work schedule. And my creepy as gently caress manager thought it was somehow appropriate to hit on me after hearing about it. Fun day.

The large pipe just disconnected from my kitchen sink, so water just freefell all over the kitchen floor. I've contacted my landlord, so hopefully he'll be in touch in thje next few days to get this fixed, but tomorrow's plan is to go to the hardware store for a mop to get rid of the large amount of spilled water as I neglected to make sure I had one until now. Then, anything kitchen sink related can be done in the bathroom sink even though that'll be a pain.

It took me an hour to start up my dad's snowblower while he was away on vacation, and then I learned tonight that we're getting 1-2 feet of possibly wet snow in blizzard conditions tomorrow night in Maine. Mother nature doesn't want to let me sleep! :livintrope:

Jaxxon: Still not the stupidest thing from the expanded universe.



I went to bed early last night because I knew that I would have a bitch commute into work today due to us getting approx. 30cm of snow. My mother randomly calls me and 11 and wakes me up because she was bored. AFter that, I managed to drift off....for 20 minutes and then my building fire alarm goes off, which causes me to bolt out of bed, shove my rabbit in a carrier and stand outside in the freezing cold snow while our local firefighters go through the entire building. Don't get back into my unit til 2am, running on too much adrenaline to sleep. Finally drifted off at 4, only to get up at 7:30 for work. I ended up being 20 minutes late still, and my boss gave me poo poo over it./

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I just got word that despite the schools I work at being happy and eager to have me on for another year, The Board of Education has decided not to renew my contract. This is a blow to both my ego and my sense of self worth.

I have a meeting at the Elementary School on Monday to further clarify. So that should be fun.

This is combined with the fact that I have been battling the combined forces of loneliness, depression, and ennui over the past few weeks.

So, now my plan is to head home to Australia for my brothers wedding, (tickets already bought and time off already granted), from April 5-12, come back to Korea to teach for 2 weeks and then head home again on the 27th when my contract finishes. To live with my parents, as an unemployed 39 year old, and go through the exhausting process of getting my papers in order and applying for work.

Some rear end in a top hat who got me a job at a frozen yogurt store that I was laid off from years ago after half a year of work sent me a message today asking if i wanted to go back part time. I have a real and secure career style job now.

I'm cheesed off that anybody would think I'd go back to that level of work and pay. I'm mad that l compulsively lied about every aspect of my current job to make the career reversal seem unlikely. I'm pissed i won't get the outrageous pay($24/hr and PTO) and bonuses/perks that I am already asking for should they want to interview($100 up front) and/or rehire($500 bonus) me.

Getting brunch is more important to me than other peoples lives.
I hosed my back again and I'm only pain-free while sitting or lying down, which leads me to believe I can get up and do stuff, but when I do HERE COMES THE PAIN AGAIN. And I'm trying to stay off drugs but I do pop ibuprofen a few times a day. I have a cortisone shot scheduled for two weeks but I can't keep treating this with meds, I need a real solution and not just a band-aid.

But what did he mean by that?

I'm proofreading a Bachelor's thesis for a friend of a friend right now: the subject is something I'm mostly unfamiliar with (colour correction in DaVinci Resolve and Baselight, and I'm a historian with only a passing familiarity with Resolve), the English it's written in is a broken mess (like yeah, the author grew up in rural Lower Austria, but otoh she spent like a year in California) and the thesis is altogether pretty bad. Proofreading stuff like this is no fun. At least I get some money out of that.

I've been having fun, putting on Trash Tv in the background while I work on stuff and saw a link to Jenny Jones, "KIDS INFLUENCED BY MARYLIN MANSON!!!" (I remember the days when he was so scary). So I thought, cool, I'm out of American trash tv episodes to watch and Jeremy Kyle gets boring so let's watch some 90s trash tv. That Marylin Manson episode was :lol: and the following one, "kids change from prep to goth" were fine because she was really nice to them and put them in a good light. Then came the next episode. A clearly anorexic and/or bulemic 15 year old wearing something disgustingly skimpy in heavy makeup. I don't care if this show is fake or not, this girl CLEARLY has an eating disorder (I am former anorexic so I know what it looks like) but instead of getting her help (Wilkos would drag that girl to a rehab), they just let her mom shake her rear end and tell the girl what to say. "I'm gonna be a stripper and get a boob job" while she looks scared.

As I said in the other thread, blow up the 90s with a bomb.


Fake edit, As far as I know Maury was never this bad, it's been the same DNA garbage and making goth teens look like Nick Carter or Justin Timberlake or whatever.

Real edit: now there's a 50 year old guy who the girl CLEARLY knows the 15yo intimately (not necessarily sex, but also not just "hey what's up kid down the block just passin by" or whatever casual conversation ) in real life it's Him being like--what he's literally saying, what her mom is insinuating, is, "yeah I'm gonna be this (15yo) girls boyfriend, especially in a sexual manner." Ughhhhjjjjjj

They had no problem with this? They just let them go home?

Yeah a lot of stuff of this is fake or exaggerated or scripted but there are a certain things you can't fake--facial expressions, body language, words used, etc. ugh.

- I have a mild hangover. Not debilitating, just a tender stomach that won't stop reminding me that it's tender.

- I went to the store to pick up a windbreaker/spring coat, but couldn't find anything that I felt would be Just Right in terms of not either doing gently caress-all or being too warm.

- There's a bunch of stuff on clearance (70-90% off), but the vast majority of it was either stuff I wouldn't wear, too small (S), or too big (XL+).

- I'm tired, mostly because of the first one.

The kids across the street have a mother who is somehow stereotypically overbearing and protective and yet doesn't seem to give a poo poo that her kids' response to a car driving down the street is "continue riding bikes/scooters in circles on the street" and not "get the gently caress out of the way until the car is past"

It happens pretty often but today was extra annoying - I literally came to a complete stop as they biked down the dead center of the road, and one of the kids actually swerved into my car and almost fell into it. They're too young for me to think it's malicious, but god loving forbid I honk or say something to them, I can only imagine the righteous shitstorm of bile that would spew out of that lady's mouth if I dared tell their kids to be careful around cars on the road or something.

Honk at the turds in the street you silly beta bitch. That is what the big button in the center of your steering wheel is for. How in gently caress's name can someone be so afraid of confrontation that they don't dare honk their horn at kids playing in the street?! :psyduck:

The rear end in a top hat is the parent who never taught their kids about safety around cars.

I'm being harsh but seriously, don't be ashamed of using your horn. You don't have to lay into it or anything, just beep at them and (hopefully) they'll get the point. Even on a dead-end street kids need to understand that it's not a playground - all it takes is one lost idiot driving too fast and little Jimmy is a pancake.

E: And I know I sound like an old dude, and I am, but I'm an old dude who had a friend in elementary school get his leg busted up because he was playing in the street like a goddamn idiot.
