I have 4 inputs to the home theater receiver. One of them is the PC, so I can't hear the audio for youtube videos when watching television unless I change the inputs. That involves reaching for another remote and pressing a button. Itz sooo much effort. :(

Didn't get off work early today, even though it's a holiday weekend. They said it was due to us already getting tomorrow off. FML

I've had a lot of medical insurance for a long time and have never fixed my body just working non stop.

Might need to do that soon.

Probably a bit late.

Lost another drone up in a tree at work, I think I'm done messing with them at this point. I apparently had mine fly away on me, even though I was giving it the opposite commands to fly back.

You don't have any other audio output?

I'm sure they have to work a lot in the third world, if they're lucky enough to be employed.

Yeah, good point. The problem with that is that I have to use crappy pc speakers that sound even more like crap from halfway across the room at high volume. Plus it's another wire to run. Not that I really have a problem with that since it already seems like I've got and indoor kudzu infestation (wires everywhere).

"The Founder" (starring Michael Keaton as McDonalds founder Ray Kroc) is filming next to my apartment building. They built a recreation of the first McDonald's restaurant in a parking lot near my apartment. Came back to my apartment for lunch as I usually do. Left to head back to work at the last minute (as I usually do). They wouldn't let me out of the complex while certain street scenes were being filmed. Even pedestrians couldn't leave. Made me ~4 minutes late getting back to work.

That's just rude. The least they could do is open up the craft services table for the people they stopped. 'Sorry sir, here, have some artisanal brie and and stone ground crackers.'

I couldn't decide which hot dogs, buns, and mustard to bring to the cookout on the 4th, so I ended up getting two kinds of each :(

Don't forget the veggie dogs and quinoa - nothing says 'Murican Freedom' like some nice hot veggie dogs.
