The bus had to turn around so I had to hop on the streetcar that just arrived.

Saturday I flew first class to Taiwan and I ordered the pork, but they didn't have any. I had to settle for the braised beef :(

I did get 5000 miles because I had to choose twice however

The fifth iPhone 5 for my household is delayed until tomorrow :(

I have a similar problem, I have an iPhone 5 I have in a drawer that I haven't used since I replaced my wife and my phone with iPhone 5S's. Trying to find some use for it. Maybe for working out so I don't get my 5S sweaty? I just don't know.

Grats on your trip...sucks on the pork. Pork sucker.



Biking, hit a bump and my odometer quits. Stop and fix it...hit a bump...repeat. Had to hot glue the magnet when I got home.

My TiVo remote doesn't work correctly any more. I have have multiple alternatives to control the TiVo (iPod touch 5th generation 64GB, iPhone 5s 64GB, iPad mini Retina LTE 32GB, and Philips Prestigo SRU 8008, or telnet commands over my home network); but the alternatives are all clunky / inferior.

Since yesterday i started jogging again. I started with a starting scheme of alternating 5 minutes jogging with 5 minutes fast pace walking. I have sore legs and a sore back from that 14km. But at least i started again yesterday and i went today also. ^_^
Furthermore, there is no booze in my system.

I noticed cyclists do it the best way, travel in a group for (a total of) large distances, and every 10 km or so visit a restaurant with a terrace. Have a drink and relax... And go for the next 10 km.

My leg touched the outer part of the toilet seat. The damn toilet paper shifted when I sat down. FML. Wish I had a hole to squat over in the ground...

No you fucking don't. I deal with an outhouse once a month for a week at a time. It's horrible. I literally have nightmares about it. No joke.

Started making a GIGANTIC protein/almond milk/peanut butter/banana shake for breakfast using the last of pretty much every ingredient.. used a disposable plastic spoon to put the peanut butter in and accidentally dropped it into the running blender where it turned into a thousand shards.

Was jonesing for some Andy Capp Hot Fries, but the convenience store didn't have any. Had to get Spicy Nacho Dorritos.

Grumpy.

The asshole construction contractor who's been working at the same damn house for the 4th year straight -- gotta take on more than you can chew and ration the work -- blocked off the sidewalk in front of me, forcing me onto the road...
