Funny, a classmate of mine was talking about how she killed a cactus even when she was TRYING to care for it properly...

Oh, I was too... Technically. :oops:
I like to keep my apartments really chilly (I like the cold), so all plant-life... Well, they go to the great garden in the sky pretty quickly. :oops:
 
Chicken is a bitch to cook. Takes too long to brown and doesn't cook all the way unless I slice it all up. >:< Might need to watch my husband the next time he cooks. :oops: I'll also need to learn how to properly time everything so I can also cook my side dishes and get the whole meal ready together instead of eating the side dishes and waiting for the main course. Double :oops: .

Despite that, the chicken Marsala wasn't a disaster. Very yummy. I might try the stuff in a jar instead of the Campbell's ready-to-pour bag.
 
My brother :hulkster: and I had an overnight trip to Kings Island and got back about 7 p.m. today. My brother is a roller coaster freak and went on a lot of them. I, uh, tried to go on two coasters, but uh, I'm kinda too fat :oops:

I went on the train twice, went up the Eiffel Tower twice (it's 1/3 as tall as the real one) and went on a spinning ride and a rocking boat ride. It was fun, and I got to walk around in a fairly shady area for a few hours.

If we do it again we know how to do it better.

Haha, she should try one of those Roses of Jericho
 
Tumblr is really pissing off the core of its userbase...porn blogs. It's times like these I wonder if that's an excellent opportunity to make a new platform similar to Tumblr, but with less restrictive policies. It's also times like these I remember that Yahoo is probably doing that to warm up to advertisers and get Tumblr off a steady income of venture capital.

Getting flashbacks to the tvtropes hubbub.

Porn is stupid anyway.
 
plus it censored depression blogs (even the benign ones, not just the suicide pact ones) too which make a lot of people mad, same with those who run gay support blogs and stuff since they got censored due to those tags involving homosexuality and such having so much gay porn on them so instead of leaving the benign gay rights and support blogs, they just elimate the entire tag. So yeah, those people are pretty pissed.
 
My boss actually asked me if I would be okay with working six days a week without overtime while someone else was on vacation. HAHA, nope. I either don't work six days at all, or I get overtime. And due to the same coverage issues, my own vacation may be pushed back. The one I already booked tickets for. The one that I had planned for months in advance. The one that involves me visiting my best friend before she leaves to bootcamp. Yeah, pretty much pissed.
Also, my boss allows customers to bring their dogs into our shop and I'm always complaining about it because it's gross (and what the fuck do you need to be bringing your dog everywhere with you for anyway). Low and behold this stupid dog ended up peeing on our carpets and the owner didn't bother telling me. If I had to surmise he made a feeble attempt to clean it from all the bits of paper towel around the spot on the carpet. So I ended up resorting to trying to clean it by spraying glass cleaner and disinfectant on the stain. I really hate my job.
/end rant (:_(
 
Sweet fucking tits I hate my friend right now, to the point that I don't want to call her as much any more. Ever since she moved out of her parents' house she's become this whiny, entitled bitch and I really want to slap her for the way she's acting.
 
There was a guy, Anthony Sowell, in Cleveland who kidnapped, raped and murdered 11 women a few years ago. He kept their rotting bodies in his basement.

Apparently this one guy in the same city admired Sowell and recently kidnapped and killed three women, one has been identified by her tattoos. He was charged this morning.

I understand being fascinated by serial killers, but actually becoming a serial killer because you're fascinated by them? Bizarre.
 
Just got back from a walk. Saw a beautiful '99 Pontiac Firebird for sale... two houses down. That guy's gotta write that on the corner of his windshield because his truck covers up the phone number written on the back.
 
Wal mart, fix your lack of price tags problem. The bar reader there is incompetent as all hell

We have a similar problem at my store. People don't clean or take good care of the printers the printers, so the bar codes come out all faded and even cut off at the edges. The managers have also removed two or three bar code readers, too.

On another note, I had a customer stop me the other day with a price question. Since I had my Telxon (scanner) on hand--I have to, since I'm inventory--I scanned it and told her what the price was. $1.88 "Oh, because I went to one of them scanner things and saw that the price was $1.88, too." As if the stations have preloaded prices in their software... dumb bitch.

Ah ha, and here's another one who pissed me off (more than usual). A couple with decidedly thick Southern accents asked me where the "Dome" soap was located. Now, having grown up around various Southern accents, I can decode pretty much any sentence. But I didn't think that the accent was the problem. I'd just never heard of Dome soap before. Was it a body wash? No, said the lady, it was to wash dishes with. I got with another associate, and by this time, the lady had changed the product's name to "Doan." Still another brand I hadn't heard of. Then she spotted it on the shelf.

It was fucking DAWN soap.

Truth be told, I feel pretty neutral about it. Well, now that I've passed another dark chapter, that is. I mean, obviously, there are days when I feel like I should put in for a transfer, but on some days, it isn't too bad. I've adopted the attitude of everyone else there: it's a paycheck, but some of the people here are cool.

I was pretty cranky that particular day... and running freight, which I don't enjoy (especially if most or all of the merchandise turns out to be overstock). I personally like it when they call off inventory so we can work on the palettes in the back room. All those years of playing with Legos and Tetris have paid off.

I happened to find this and this. Ouch.
 
I was studying today, and in the other room I could hear my cousin (aspergers possible autism) cursing out the Xbox, doing almost a whole AVGN routine.
