stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I did indeed drain the sink, alas too late to avoid fromage drowning. :¬[

Last day at work today :( coming months will consist of trying to graduate and finding a new job.

I forgot to put the shopper bags in the car before leaving for work, now I have to pay the insignificant fee/moral hardship for plastic shopping bags at the supermarket later.

(Un)-Intelligent Domestic Mishap

I need to walk a block and a half to the vet's to get a box* of canned catfood for my cat, then walk all the way back.

*it's not actually a box, but I still can't remember the technical name for it: long, rectangular, open topped ankle biting box that serves more as a surface for the cans to stack upon. wtf is that called? I always feel like an ass going in and asking for a box of tins and having them respond with "oh, you mean the ___ of tins?" I think my memory for words is filled to capacity, and it just won't accept this one.

err, a crate? a tray?

Carton??

Just ask for a pallette, lolz will ensuite.

A flat?

That's the one.

I went with "flat", thinking I was a cunning linguist, but then she was like "oh, we're out of the cases." She just won't cut me a break... although she did give me two cans for free.

I got an invite to my 10 year high school reunion... Thing is I'm kinda in-between jobs/careers, about to be going back to school, broke, and don't really have much to show off. I don't really feel like going and seeing a bunch of people I hated are doing much better than I am currently. Probably gonna skip out.

I finally learned Jaco Pastorius' "Portrait of Tracy" on bass and now both of my wrists are throbbing in pain

That guy was such a motherfucker. Shit.

wow, been nearly twenty years since i've heard that track.

Yeah I love Jaco and Weather Report.

My ex-girlfriend gave me a Mexican Jazz Bass 3-4 months ago, so I decided to dive back into JP's catalogue. I also learned "Teen Town," "Havana," "Continuum," and "Dry Cleaner From Des Moines." Jaco's early stuff--every note of it--is genius of the highest order.

...Oh, and also really difficult to play.

Man, if my school did a ten year reunion then I wasn't invited at all. Which suits me just fine, because I wouldn't have gone. Can't blame you for not going! Couldn't wait to leave!

I tried to go to mine, showed up at the pub around 7PM. Turns out it was scheduled for around noon?!? wtf kind of bullshit class reunion is that? Anyway, probably for the best that I missed it.

I have to do this too - both our cats have recurring urinary infections and need special fancy expensive food. Fortunately the vets is a 5min walk away. I also have no idea what the cardboard can tray things are called

i didn't go to mine, i think that they could have contacted me through my dad that still resides at the same address. My sister said that hers, which she went to, was organised by the people that had stayed in that little town and all knew each other and hung out still, so they planned the event around each other and didn't contact anyone that didn't happen to be part of that extended group lol, needless to say she said that it entirely sucked. When my littlest brother went to his, he said that everyone looked like they had aged decades more than him, the photos stand testament to that.

I think this kind of thing is for people that still celebrate their teenage years as some kind of pinnacle of their life experience, it doesn't surprise me given the number of people out there that never seemed to have matured beyond the mindset of a middle teenager. nwae, even if they'd contacted me i wouldn't have gone, i didn't want to be reminded of that place, to me it was hell, and every day was like being drowned in it's fires. fuck 'em all.

correct.

I had a ton of fun in high school and still talk to lots of the people regularly.

so I would go if we had a reunion. Then again my 10 year reunion isn't for another 3 or 4 years.

It would be awkward to take the wife though because I uhh....well yeah.

Do you get Urinary SO? That's what my little guy needs, otherwise he gets urinary chrystals. Last night he tore off my U key, so this message has been difficult to type. (That's my FWP for today if anyone was wondering.)

I just realised one of the four albums that i was gonna make contains shit songs when I did a play through. Well that's one less thing to think about, heh. It was always going to be an uphill battle with subject matter like ocd and regret. I might shoegaze everything on there but right now who gives a fuck, on to the next least worse (probably) that one was already getting the drill and bass treatment to scrub it all up. I've written so many better songs, and should chuck them together into albums and write the backing, but I feel this loyalty to this stuff that's hung around my neck all these years. Heh.

Nwae

Don't have any to hand (I'm travelling) but I think that's it. Made by Purina. Both our cats have the same issue. They have never bothered with my computer fortunately, but the shites are fond of chewing our curtains to shreds
