I hated the fact that my website kept showing the Blog Title in front of the page Title for the past 2 years... After a shot of rum, I decided to finally do something about it -- actually, it was on the shitter when I made that promise, and I tried before, couldn't find the solution.

Turns out I just had to change five lines of code with a simple IF statement that a ton of websites already had posted. I didn't search for the right keywords when looking in the past and came up empty. Boo ya. Too bad Google killed all my search results recently -- again.

Rather than getting a new bottle of dish soap out from the cabinet, someone keeps putting water in the existing one in order to extend the life of the remaining soap. I hate you, whoever you are, whoever does this.

had someone recognize me while out with the kids and they talked about the last performance I gave in chicago a few years ago and it made me feel bad. ><

I dont have regrets per se but I dont like to be reminded that I used to be cool

my new shitty desk at work also happens to be right next to the gym, so any time someone is running on the treadmill, the floor starts shaking.

(of course, we have an office policy of no using the treadmills or heavy weights between 8 am and 6 pm because the people downstairs on 15th floor keeps complaining, but obv. people don't follow it)

Was running a bit behind this morning and left the house without eating hoping it would be someone's birthday or some crap and there would be bagels or donuts or something. There wasn't...

seems to have been a mixup in the holiday-week schedule of events (going on this week) and it's throwing off the meal plan i had laid out.

Woman we were scheduled to film today demanded we have actual cash on hand to pay her but then she missed her flight. My safe isn't even big enough to hold $20k worth of bens so it's just locked in my desk. /stressed

Just finished the second season of avatar the last airbender and prince zuko totally made the decision he shouldn't have. :( I'm pretty upset about it.

I yelled at my ISP for just charging me now for a modem I bought four months ago. What a chicken shit operation. Still better than Bell though.

QFT. I bought a modem for TWC. I paid first month advance. Then I see that they charged my a lease fee of $5.99 for first and second month. Had to contact the clueless CS to get it sorted out. Now I'll see next month if anything was done. How can this not be some sort of illegal shit? I even selected that I had my own modem at sign-up time.

Complain to the FCC. I'm sure they'll hold Comcast/TWC accountable. :hmm:

Was hungry around 1030am and got a breakfast burrito. Now I'm not hungry AND don't have anything else to do at lunch...

The poorly maintained roads are hell on my suspension. :hmm: actually more like a 2nd world problem now that I think about it.
