I could not find a long enough Midi cable so I had to sacrifice the closest synthesizer available and use my Minimoog model D as a midi controller for a track, what a waste.

Handle on toilet broke right after having one of those perfect bowel movements. Of course it didn't trip the trap and so I had the honor of removing the tank lid and manually pulling it like some uneducated monkey.

I have errands to run but forgot that school started this week. Now I'm stuck in my house for the next little while because it's past 3:00 so the street is full of buses and soccer mom traffic.

I thought you lived in a secluded area.

Not so much, just standard residential neighbourhood. I'd love to live in a secluded wooded area and have more land though. Life goals for later. There's a school in front of my house so things get pretty gnarly traffic wise around this time. Other than that it is nice to have basically just a field in front of my house though. I go play with the drone every now and then.

I recently finished "going back to school" and want to get back down to the weight I was when I started. I've dropped about 10 lbs. in last 6 weeks. I transitioned into bum at home mode and put on some old basketball shorts and later went to the store. With the weight of my phone, wallet, and keys in my pockets the shorts kept slipping down a bit, and I basically had to hold them up. Guess I'll have to retie the strings on all my shorts.

I thought that was the fashion.

Looks like I'm getting a six day weekend. Problem is my back went out, and the truck's in the shop. I also found a bottle of bitter lemonade, but don't have any gin to mix it with. Not sure it's worth a 1 mile walk(round trip) in the heat with a sore back to get some :^/

I hate when the frickin shower curtain blows into the shower. It's usually not too bad but if I move out of the main spray of water (i.e. when apartment upstairs flushes toilet and the water turns absolutely scalding) it does it pretty quickly. Something to do with air pressure differences caused by different water temperatures, I think, but whatever the cause it's annoying. And the itty-bitty little weights they put in the bottom of shower curtains, for this reason I'm guessing, are hilarious and totally useless.

Let's see, what else. Searched on Expedia for my plane ticket when I go up north to visit during Christmas and for the round-trip ticket (staying a week) it's almost $400. I have the receipts from the past two years and it was just under $200 previously, and I'm looking now earlier than in the past! What the shit? Guess I'll just keep checking. I'll try some other websites too but I'm not sure there will be any difference.

EDIT: Just searched using Kayak, which searchs all the main sites, and as I figured it's just the one flight for $374. At least it shows Priceline has two flights available instead of just the one early one I've seen. Ugh. If you had to pay $374 for a roundtrip ticket, would you guys still fly or drive instead (420 miles, Michigan, winter)?

Is the tub fiberglass? My shower curtain's weights are ceramic magnets and generally stay affixed pretty well. If they weren't magnetic, or if my tub wasn't enameled steel, I don't think they would do much as they aren't heavy enough to really keep it in place.

I would drive because I enjoy driving and have a vehicle that would cost me $50 or so roundtrip. However, Michigan winters might give me pause

Naw it's metal. The shower curtain does have little magnets at the bottom but they don't have nearly the strength to stick the curtain to the tub when the "wind" is blowing in due to air pressure/temperature. It actually sticks better from the water on it than from the magnets, haha.

And I did more searching for the plane ticket and if I stay an extra day the cost comes down almost a hundred dollars to $285, which looks to be the cheapest possible price. So while I'd rather have an extra day before returning to work on the 31st, I'd more rather save a hundred dollars so I'm gonna get the ticket today.

Fly, driving in Michigan in the winter is exhausting. Super shitty roads.

I need to order a chain breaker from amazon. There's some other stuff I want to get, but every fucking time I sit down in front of a computer my mind goes blank, and I can't remember the other stuff I wanted. I'm sure I'll remember a day after I place the order :^S

Add a second "decorative" curtain. The extra weight when they stick together helps it from being sucked in. Of course, you have now doubled the amount of shower curtains you have to wash...

the moving company wont take any of the chemicals in our garage, or ammo, or the fertilizer out back.

I think I'm just gonna dump the fertilizer in the woods. Nobody wants it. We dont need it.

Trust me, I've never been confused for someone who is fashionable. But if fashion is equivalent to walking around feeling like an idiot, I pulled it off... or up I guess.
That's the problem, if you were fashionable you would have known how cool you looked sagging. Missed opportunity to walk around and say, "sup bitches?"

I've driven over 3800 miles in the last three weeks and I feel like hitting the road again. It's actually really bad for one's health to spend that much time behind the wheel but I gotta keep movin'

on

keep movin' on.

Someone trying to hack my server and it's making my phone go off at this ungodly hour of the morning. I guess I may as well get up so I can make sure there's not more fishy stuff going on.
