Know exactly what I want to buy with my $1k Amazon gift card.


But I don't actually have a $1k Amazon gift card. :(

It took me a lot less time to get all the wiring in place for the new TV stand / TV than I thought it would, so now the old set is unplugged and the new set is coming at some indeterminate point in the next few hours, which means I'm basically just sitting around with nothing to do until it arrives. I have plenty of pre-Christmas errands to run, but I can't leave the house. ah heck.

It is 12:15 and I haven't received the "Christmas Eve, only work 4 hours" email yet. I've been here over 4 hours! Let me go home already you slave drivers!

Ate a stick of celery. Now a tiny string of it is caught between my teeth at work and I can't get it out. :(

I've been here 5 hours. I've done literally nothing. Can I just skip my lunch and leave an hour early?

I had too many cardboard boxes and wrappers from Xmas waste to fit in my trash barrels. I wonder if people in Russia have this problem?

I want to get a mini-fridge but am bothered by the terrible efficiency of the ones I've seen relative to full sized models. For example, full sized at 17 cubic feet uses 450 kWh, 3.5 cubic feet uses 220 kWh -- annually. Dafuq?

She can shoot, could probably do that too.

I'm happy with the Bourbon.

To each his own, I don't know too many that consider it bad bourbon.

Prefer it myself in nog, cheers :)

Drunk googling people I knew and can't help but notice how some are so full of shit (still) while the others are nothing like I remember. Jesus Christ it's easy to stalk people online nowadays... Couldn't find myself, and I was hidden by the other dozen people who share my name, a few even share my class of profession.

You never know the full story from the online facade! You might as well read a fiction book. It might as well be the life story of ron weasley for all it matters.

Kinda hard to piece together someones life situation from a picture of their dog, holiday dinner, and parties they attended.

I got a new digital camera and the images it produces are freaking huge! I set the option to web safe upload, but the picture resolution is still massive! I guess it's not resolution but size. Still figuring this fucker out.

I bet the tech in it is or was as good as what they had on the SR-71 taking pics over Russia. LOL Think I have it figured out now.

It's a 20 mega pixel.

Damn, I ate the whole pizza. Beer consumption not accounted for.


Damned fruits/veggies tomorrow.


Whole large pizza (meat lover with everything) plus a cold Coke? I used to do that in one sitting when I was young and foolish. :D

Cafeteria is closed today... I am forced to eat out, likely at B Dubs, which means I will eat too much. =(

I swear, those guys get more days off a year than me. I probably make double their best paid employee though, so it evens out.

I want to get a battery charger that's on sale, but I don't want the 8 batteries that come with it. No use for them. Now I'm looking for an alternative.
