I was packing my movies and such last night, and I had a hell of a time combining DVDs and Blu-rays together. I probably should've just forwent my alphabetized setup and put all DVDs (or other larger boxes) together in one tote and Blu-rays in the other(s).

I can't get the stupid cat to come into the air conditioned bedroom with me.

it's like 100F in the apartment even with the windows open/ceiling fans on, and he's languishing on the floor like he's uncomfortable, but even after luring him into the cold air in the bedroom he just pushes the door open and walks back out 5 minutes later.

Cats do well with warmth; that's why they are always looking for a nook, or box, or bowl to sleep in. He may not be languishing, so much as just enjoying the warmth.

Stupid vlookup always gives me problem when trying to lookup a number. No matter how I change the formatting of either the source or destination data , I get the stupid #N/A result. The only way it works is if I manually re-type the original lookup number.

Happens so often and it drives me fucking crazy!

I have that problem when importing data from an external database because it outputs certain number fields as text (even though they're numbers). I have to manually highlight the data in the column, click on the little Excel "warning" icon for number stored as text and convert the data. Then things work like a charm.

Now if it's something beyond that, yeah, PEBCAK.

Found out the preorder/new release price for Fallout 4 is CAD$ 80. Dafuq... it's been $60 for so long, which makes me wonder where the hell inflation went.

Can't decide if I want to stay at the JW or Renaissance while in Hong Kong.

Bought a bottle of Hydroxycut Hardcore for $32 in CVS. Just looked on Amazon and they are selling the same product for $17.

I can't go back to CVS because I already opened the bottle.

Had to restart my Fallout 2 character because he sucked and couldn't do anything -- worst of all, I hit a random encounter that practically destroyed my sucky character further.

Had to deal with AT&T, Atlantic broadband and Verizon today.

I love AT&T's automated circuit reporting system, "please enter or say the circuit ID". So you spell out "1234ABC" and it says back to you. "Did you say DFAD678", and then you go through the process 2 more times, before saying F#$% under your breath and then it forwards you to a real person.

Usually hit 0, 0, 0 , 0

Anyway, have canceled them as of yesterday, cut the cord, the whole fam, 51 years since I haven't been near a home phone.:eek:

LG VX8300 going strong...

My fucking blog took a dive and I tried to load it in Xampp (a local server) to see what happened and it was giving me shit. Finally disabled all plugins and that workd, so added one back at a time and found the problematic plugin.

Oh my dear God. I was going to use the bag of potatoes this afternoon to make some homemade chips for this weekend. I picked up the bag and the potatoes were liquefied. Thank God I keep them in a bin on the floor and not directly on the floor. The smell is so fucking rancid I want to puke. I was wondering what the hell that was...... D: D: D:
