That's awful. I've been pissed cause it's still in the 70s. Supposed to be 60s tomorrow which is getting closer to nice.

Yes it is hot, even for the South (US). At least it is cooling down at night so I don't have to have to run the AC all night as I used to do during summer.

I saw your post about Halloween candies. Darn, I want to be a kid again that good candies.

So some completely intellectually disabled person I know shit his pants, literally, for the third time in as many months. Once again, he doesn't bother cleaning up after himself. In fact, he didn't even notice, once again, until someone pointed out the shit stains on his shoes and the small chunks that he left all over the floor. And, once again, he doesn't bother showering after the discovery because he has to get back to feeding his gambling addiction. But he still likes to point out to other people that he's smart.

Gos a damn brain freeze from a Starbucks frappuccino. It always happens to me no matter what. Especially the DQ molatte.

Took 2 hours to get home from work yesterday because people drive like fucking animals.

For some reason my DVR crapped out midway through The Late Show so a couple minutes into the interview with Jack Black the stream abruptly ended. Listen, DVR, I'm not thrilled about you just spontaneously turning off, but if you're going to do that, do it BEFORE THE INTERVIEW WITH JACK BLACK STARTS and save me four uncomfortable minutes of pretending I care about whatever Jack Black is peddling.

Ordered a grande caramel macchaiato when I really wanted a vente and was too embarassed to correct myself before they made it, so I suffered through a medium instead of a large. I was also going to order another expresso shot but screwed up on that one also.

You know what really grinds my gears? When someone starts off an IM at work with simply

John: <Insert my name>
<insert 15 second wait as they type their next message.

Seriously. What the fuck am I supposed to respond with? "Yes, this is <name>"? No shit it's me, my laptop didn't get stolen at a Starbucks and now someone else is on it. But thanks for the simple greeting to initiate conversion like something CRAZY like "Hello"

I looked away for a few seconds and 15 minutes passed last night... Didn't catch the Late Show until the Jack Black interview.

You can't be serious about this. No matter what sort of legal protections Canada allows the disabled, that's a serious health hazard right there.

Worst part is that it's not just the e.coli. He's a Hepatitis B carrier.

I bought a new router so I could get rid of the second internet connection and save over $50/month... now I've gotta set it up:(.

Edit: Also, I will have an unused port on my 3-way coax splitter and buying a terminator costs more than buying a new 2-way splitter. FML.

Had to pull out my entire drum kit for a polishing and tuning tonight. Finally starting to play out again - first gig in a year or two is tomorrow. The bad news is I now have to lug all my shit in and out of my apartment and to the bar(s). Stands... Drums... Pedals... Cymbals... Cables... Mics.... FML. Should have been a vocalist.
