There was a storm yesterday in Orange County and I had to sidestep a ginormous 10" puddle

The dish soap in the work kitchen was running out and someone put water in it to extend its life. Whoever you are, I hate you.

I couldn't pay my hospital bill via the automated phone prompt because the computer refused to recognize my CC expiration date, so I had to talk to a dirty rotten human to get it done. :\

They ran out of truffled mashed potatoes at the steakhouse I went to lunch today. I had to settle for the lobster macaroni & cheese as a side and a free glass of wine to go with my steak.

I just found out, finally, that all the Quebec French swear words I've seen all my life are just variations of the Lord's name being used in vain ways.

Thank god for English swear words. Fu*k yeah.
interesting, this is also present in Italian to a degree, although the strongest swear words are direct insults to god or mary here, the rest is all considered light stuff.

another Sunday of my boyfriend failing the leftover game... eggplant parmesan :( don't know how many times I've told him that I don't really care for eggplant.

I was able to stand at the sink shaving for 15 minutes this weekend, so I may attempt to start cooking again this week.

on the plus side, I've lost like 20 lbs since my BF was forced to become the primary food-provider.

My wife still tries to argue with me about things that involve physics, no matter how often I prove her wrong on a daily basis.

The Game of Thrones season has sucked so far, but I have to watch tonight's episode instead of watching Mad Max Fury Road -- just so people don't spoil it for me at work tomorrow.

USB passthrough to the VirtualBox VM for my ancient printer doesn't work if the parallel adapter is plugged into my USB3 hub. USB2 is fine.
