one of the less well-thought out decisions of my life was to schedule my driver's test a week after my wisdom teeth were taken out. the swelling did not go down as quickly as I anticipated. some people look like criminals in their license picture... I looked like a chipmunk

my company has a policy of year-round "summer Fridays" of working from home and taking the afternoon off. in my year here, I'm solidly convinced that most people take this to mean "don't work on Friday, at all". have an issue on a friday? good luck, no one is in the office, and no one is...

My mother's technology prowess never fails to amuse. She tries, but for the most part, the 00s and 10s just didn't happen for her technology-wise... Her latest struggle is with sending pictures she takes on her phone via message. every time, she emails them in an attachment to my work email...

2 hours of sleep last night, now 2 am here and have to get up at 5 idk if I should even bother sleeping at this point. after a certain point, it feels worse to sleep for a couple hours than to just power through. did that last night, and I was like a sitting corpse in my 9 am meeting...

I think cheating on your partner is disgustingly low, but... I find what the Ashley Madison hackers did even more morally reprehensible. Yeah, they're scumbags, but that doesn't give you a free pass to ruin thousands of people's lives. It's one thing to alert spouses that they're being...

It's so hard to edit some people's writing without entirely demolishing it, re-writing the entire thing, and then looking like a massive jerk

Who the hell is this woman? She's painful to listen to. Her fake enthusiasm oozes.

I wonder if the Sims 4 shaped up to be good. I used to be a really avid Sims player, from the very first vanilla game, but after my gaming laptop died last spring, I haven't touched the series in well over a year and missed out on 4 entirely. I played briefly once on my brother's computer, and...

I'm pretty sure I would have just starved to death if I lived before the invention of microwaves. Cancer from radiation, whatever, I'll gladly take my convenience and bask in my laziness.

chocolate chjp cookie dough quest bars constitute an unhealthy portion of my diet and my wallet but goddammit they're just so delicious

facebook keeps advertising local SQL lessons to me... blast them, tracking my cookies and mocking my bumbling incompetence at computer syntax.

My sister just found BN Cookies in the States somehow. What is this. I hate her. Freakin' loved those things as a kid. So good. Realistically speaking, they're probably one of those foods you loved in childhood, but are actually really mediocre when you have them years later as an adult...

I need to finish Twilight Princess. I played all the way to the final dungeon, saved the game, and told myself I'd beat it tomorrow. Tomorrow turned into 7 years and counting. Same thing happened to FFVII and Grandia 3, come to think of it.

I wouldn't sweat it. Most people have zero idea what they want to do when they go off to college, and of those who do, well... not many end up with that major in the end. (At least half the people on the college tours I went on said they were planning on doing pre-med... trust me, we did not...

If it makes you feel any better, New York City's real estate is even worse. One of the 400-square-foot one-bedroom apartments in my building apparently just went on the market for a cool $1.8 million. Needless to say, I'm renting until I die or win the lottery.

In retrospect, Pokemon had really good voice acting, especially for its time. I haven't watched the show in about fifteen years, but the snippets I've heard for the new (I guess they're not new anymore at this point :'D) voice actors is ugh. James doesn't sound fabulous anymore... he just...

Maybe New York has just hardened me into a nasty cynic, but rarely are people who ask for cash to buy food actually hungry, if you catch my drift. I once saw a person in Times Square holding up a sign asking for cash to buy weed. If nothing else, you've gotta appreciate the honesty.
