stupid first world problems you're dealing with

the In-App-Purchase in my iPad app seems to fail for a few users.

have to tell them to restart their iPad. FML.

bad roomate. why can't i just have a quiet roomate that cleans up after themself.

It's impossible, the program the odd couple was actually illustrative of the sole dynamic possible and the fractal nature of the universe. Although that said, the first place i ever share rented was with a jazz pianist student chick and a sax playing jazz student guy and they were pretty organised, was the last gasp of that i ever experienced though, maybe those organised people get married or start earning enough money for their own place, so all that is left stalking the cohabitation market are those less organised kitchen defiler types.

yeah... fuuuuuuuu

* yek appears in local newspaper after doing something horrendous to roomate *

i couldn't deal with that crap man, i'd rather move back home or to a tiny house out on the tundra within my price bracket than deal with randumbs.

I'm about to watch Johnny Got His Gun, the movie about the WWI basketcase featured heavily in the Metallica - One music vid. Pretty sure this will be one of the bleakest films I'll ever see. Then I'll get to lie awake imagining what it's like to lose all physical senses and be literally helpless. Luckily I don't really experience uneasy anticipation for things, so for the moment everything's cool. But shit's about to get depressing...

Just finished watching it. There was enought absurdity, humor and humanity in it to prevent it from being suffocatingly heavy. It was all in all an extraordinary film. Anyone who hasn't seen it should.

FWP: had a 2+ hour nap earlier this evening followed by a pumpkin spice latte. It's 1:30am and I'm wired, with no intent of partying. Booooooo. Might have to watch the making of doc.

i have ongoing problems with my laptop overheating and switching itself off. i thought this had resolved itself last week when the cooling fan started working again, however it now has stopped working. i can't figure out what the issue is. the fan works, but it just doesn't switch on. ffs.

I bought the book a month or two ago. Had no idea Metallica had done something inspired by it or that it had been adapted to film.

Will def check out the film after I get out of this Stephen King naval gazing and read all these literary novels that are pilling up (fwp)

It's one of the best films I've seen. Not sure I could stay in that world for the duration of a book though. The Metallica - One vid is classic. It used to disturb the crap out of me as a kid. That song combined with the scenes from that film really are a perfect match.

Tried resetting your bios?

How do I do that?

If only there was a way to find out...

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

Loyalty is a trick of our genes: be ruthless! If it's not up to par, chuck it out before you can think about it and replace it with something better!

If you hadn't thought about the songs until you replayed them, then you probably won't miss them if you just get rid of them. DO IT

Thank you so much, you could have given me help but you've given me so much more.

It seems like I'm a magnet for people who love to tell long, boring stories and who have complete disregard for social cues indicating that their victims aren't having fun.

I had a guy tell me a really boring story today...and then within that story he recounted telling someone else that same story, almost word for word...like some fucking Charlie Kaufman film.

I really really really hate when this happens. I know someone that occasionally I will say "hi how is your day" to (at work) and she ends up trying to drag me into this long story that includes a bunch of friends of hers that I have no idea who they are (she uses their first names like I'm supposed to know who she's talking about).

Anger. I suppose I could just be direct and say shut up but then I'd get in trouble I suppose. Plus she's actually nice and I kind of feel bad for her.

I have that same magnetic pull every time I go to a party.

I think it's time to stand up to these people (Duncan Trussell calls them "vampires"). I know this one guy who's a sadistically boring talker. I will say "alright well, I gotta go grab some lunch" and he just ignores me and keeps talking because he's old and lonely.

The politeness proviso of the social contract should be suspended for these people. If they're just gonna ignore our feelings, we should all just follow suit. Next time someone talks my ear off, I'm just gonna walk away. Who's with me?

So there was this halloween chick at a party last night. So beautiful; pale as snow, with dark, deep bags under her eyes, ominous large black hair and such an angelical face barely visible through her hair.

I went alone. Well, me and my Aphex Twin shirt, you know, pussy magnet. Suddenly the lights went off. Fog started to appear and then a gothic techno music started to play.

It was quite good of a moment, until I saw her. Dancing softly to the pounding 4/4 beat. As the bass got heavier, her moves went sharper. Fucking sensual.

I'm an introverted shit so I was scared to talk/dance with her. But, fuck off, the moment was perfect, it was now or never... I slowly approached her through the LSD smoke. So fucking near. The lights started to dance along the music. On, off, on, off, fast. Fuck, perfect shit. SO FUCKING NEAR. And, suddenly, she saw me. Her eyes, staring at me, were like fucking green lasers making me mad blind.

I got freezed. Shit, I'm sweating introversion and shyness again. So I went back to my seat.

Did you guys ever have jam sessions?
