1. Had to explain to my mom how to cut 'n' paste text from one email to another...again.

2. Paid $6 for a 3.5mm headphone jack to 2.5mm jack adapter at Radio Shack that probably costs $0.50. Yeah, it's my own fault for being impatient.


Your turn!

Barber completely obliterated my sideburns after I told her to keep it short. Now I'll never look like a '70s pothead:(.

Global warming hit today. Its 57 and rainy out. The basement is flooded and there is no point in trying to get it cleaned up when the water is still pouring in.

To do something as simple as driving we need to turn 16, study, then pass both a written and performance test (in most of the US, at any rate).

Why the fuck are we allowed to do something as drastic as have children at any age, without any training? We even get money for it (welfare).

There needs to be a tax on having children, partly to somewhat discourage it for those who can't afford it, and party to fund required training programs for childrearing. Parents these days are worse than ever.

*sigh of relief*

I hate whenever a show on the discovery health channel comes close to revealing an answer and then before say what it is they go to a commercial, come to think of it, the history channel does the same thing.

My family knows me as the resident computer and technology expert so whenever something needs to be fixed or set up, they bug me. I don't mind doing odds and ends for my parents, but when my relatives call me up and bug me incessantly at family gatherings, it's not okay. My aunt knows next to nothing about computers, but she's offered to pay to me to fix and teach her stuff, so that's fine. :p
