I really wanted a cheeseburger for lunch but I have some deli roast beef with a sell-by date of 8/26 so I had that instead :'(

Had a major infection and had to spend the weekend and today laid up in bed, playing Final Fantasy 7 on my iPad while watching The Office on Netflix and surfing Facebook on my laptop. FML.

Edit: While loopy on painkillers.

I'm trying to make my budget work by delaying a purchase until Friday but the sale ends Thursday night... If I buy it earlier, the number on my credit card statement will be bigger than I'd like.

One of my UPS batteries went into thermal run away, I now have to haul it to Canadian Tire for a replacement tomorrow but pretty sure my warranty is up so have to pay for a new one, and now my UPS capacity is compromised if the power goes out tonight.

Good news is at least it did not burn my house down. :p Need to figure out the cause though.... I suspect it was just a random fault in the battery.

I re-watched Nic Cage in Next on Netflix streaming and it held up well to a second viewing.

Now I want to watch Drive Angry again but they only have it on disc! :'(

Some complete idiot thinks he can run on 3 nights of sleep a week while napping on the shitter 2 hours a day. He keeps breaking things (dinnerware), has the reaction time of a 100 year old, and looks like death. But hey, he thinks he's special and can defy biology... just to feed his gambling addiction that he won't admit to.

this grilled cheese sandwich has too much butter and isn't cut in half :'(

also, someone's been camped out in the handicapped stall for like 15 minutes... it's literally the only bathroom stall I can use, assholes, stop hanging out in there to read your newspaper after lunch.

Remembered this one from yesterday... Had to throw out 3 finger-licking good pieces of KFC chicken because the box was stuff into the back, on top of other things. It was forgotten for 9 days, I tried to eat them on day 10, but they tasted like elastic bands... Oh, and the whole food poisoning thing got to me.

Is shitting yourself due to lack of available toilets really a fwp?

In all the glorious meat bestowed by my Asian in laws, I found what is supposed to be Kobe beef burger patties. Having had actual Kobe beef, I am just preparing for massive disappointment when I cook them tonight.

Seems somewhere in between "what a waste" and "fat/meat ratio out of wack".

I actually dislike the marbling of Kobe beef. I much prefer America beef for a steak or large cut. However, ground up, the more I think about it, the more these might just end up being really fatty burgers and not terrible. I am still skeptical though.

I wanted to go fly my quadcopter during lunch break, but it's a little breezy today. Darn.
