They make banana flavored Starburst? I was not aware... How do they compare in taste to banana laffy taffy?
I don't know that they do, but I know that the flavors differ between Tropical, Sour, Original, etc even for the same color.

A DS3 is down in an remote area, I can't find a tech to go out, and everybody and their dog is calling me about it. AKA I actually have to do work, at work! The humanity!

Agreed for 8AM tennis this morning. All was going well until I realized I had no coffee left.

GF, with her Asianness, had two drinks at our late lunch and has been annoyingly drunk for the past two hours. =(

Started filling out the questionnaire for my pistol permit and it requires 4 references. I had all my references lined up and I just now realized that ALL references must reside in the county in which I am applying for. D'OH!

Speaking of candies, went to the grocery store and purchased several bags of candies (M+M peanuts, Starbust, and Skittles) because they were supposed on sale but every bag were rang up with full price. I will have to wait to return tomorrow because CSR desk was closed for tonight.

...I don't feel safe buying bulk pre-packaged foods from Amazon for some reason.

Why the hell am I seeing so many pre-roll YouTube ads with prepubescent people in the main speaking role...

It's saturday. I have the vague feeling there was something I was supposed to be doing, but I'm not sure what it was.

Doesn't everyone live by to-do lists or a calendar app nowadays? Before I was 25 and before I had a smartphone... that's the last time I didn't use one.

The Cuban restaurant where I go to lunch everyday always refills the rice by putting the new fresh rice on top of the old rice. This means that depending on the demand at any given time, there is a high probability that my meal contains at least 10% of overcooked rice.

I think I fuxxored the telephone number port. I cancelled the cancellation last week because the new provider scheduled the port for October, initially, and the sudden cancellation was last week -- then they rescheduled the port for the day after the cancellation. Now it's still not ported and the new telephone company keeps testing the line to see if the old telco has released the number or not.

I really wanted to play some Assassin's Creed 4 this weekend (talk like a pirate day and all that) but I managed to break the HDMI cable connecting my PC to the entertainment center by sliding a couch into it and none of the replacement HDMI cables I have on hand are long enough.
