I spent the entire day working from home listening to Sunn o))) and I think I can see the blackened edges of the eternal, gaping abyss creeping in on the peripheries of my vision.

Pink Bismuth, IMO

There's way too much incest role play in porn.

I had a bit of a girlfriend in Copenhagen but now I'm back in Boston and for the past couple days she's been telling me how much she misses me and I miss her too, but I don't want to drown in misery or anything. She wants to visit in the fall and I'd love that too but the idea of some long distance thing that got cut short is depressing to me. Hey, at least I'm livin' I suppose. I really did have a good time there! Boston is kinda boring compared to Copenhagen and especially Berlin.

 

move.

 

You read my mind.

Strategizin' n' shit. It's not easy, but possible.

it's the only answer, breh.

Yeah, I'd do it just for the experience of living in a new country that I really liked. There's a long complicated post I wrote out but then I couldn't edit.

Basically the site I'm working at in the US is closing at the end of the year and I'll be free to do what I want. I plan on traveling more. I already applied for the open positions(which are my current job) in Denmark but they said they weren't pushing for the American visitors to transfer there and they won't help with relocation or the visa. But they might just be waiting until the end of the year. It was also extremely stressful to work at the site in Denmark and the turnover is really high, so I was really going back and forth in my head about it. There's another company close to it that would be better. It's even more complicated than I can think to write at the moment.

I haven't really laughed hard in a long time. I mean there's lolin'... and then there's uncontrollable laughter that bubbles up from inside you which you can't stop and by the end you're out of breath and teary. I miss that experience. it's been a couple of years, I think. nothing makes me laugh like that anymore :|

Yes!!! i was just thinking this the other day, i remember getting sent out of a lesson at secondary school once cos i was uncontrollably laughing so hard, i really miss that feeling :(

somewhat related, just got fired for the first time from a retail job. i guess they could see through my politely smiling mask and sense how little i gave a shit.

might just gap to wellington and see if i can find an actual proper job down there.

Do it. Getting fired from my last retail job was a massive first world success in the end.

Retail is fucking miserable to work in, unless you're working the night shift stocking inventory onto shelves. Then it's somewhat bearable.

Trader Joe's seems like a good retail job. Until you realize it's like the church of Scientology.

Same at Whole Foods.

any time i go into trader joes i get really freaked out like i'm high and everyone knows. all the workers are waaaaay too happy to be there, calling each other "mate" and "captain" and people at the checkout are ringing goddamn ship's bells to call managers over to congratulate customers on donating money to an elementary school. i just want some cheese bro, chill out.

yeah this was kind of like the NZ version of whole foods.

i can't tell you how many middle aged women i would see per day buying $20 muesli, either dressed in fur or running gear with gigantic camel toes showing through their nike leggings. horrific stuff.

"do u have any gluten free breadcrumbs?"

forgot to buy tortilla chips at the store yesterday. i have two avocados and nay a chip to dip in them once i mash them up.

FLOL! I religiously shop at trader joes and get this feeling every time i'm in the store. I actually had a situation today where i seriously was trying to figure out if my cashier was on cocaine or not. We had a brief but passionate conversation about the sourdough bread I was buying.

When I worked at Trader Joe's, a customer made a written complaint to the store manager about me because I wasn't peppy enough and I didn't acknowledge her kids or offer them stickers. I found a better job about a month later and the "Captains" and "Mates" seemed kinda spiteful.

my loser roomates loser friend has been basically living here the past week.. just plays videogames all day, totally ignores me, i don't even know if he knows my name, .. walks in like he owns the place. soooooo i just made it perfectly clear he's not appreciated in earshot and he stormed out the door, success? he'll be back tomorrow though, life would be so much easier with a different roomate , we just aren't compatible, it's like playing that schoolyard game,"chicken" , we're seeing which one of us will last, in hopes that the other will leave.

At least you guys have a Trader Joes. The closest thing we have up here is New Sagaya, which sorta overlaps with both Trader Joes and Seattle's Uwajimaya in terms of selection, but is smaller and everything is overpriced. Which is why I only shop there once in a blue moon.

Precisely the reason I opted for a condo in April. Comes with some extra bills, but no roommate bullshit. Totally worth it.

they finally got KAT. fuck.

Karl-Anthony Towns?
