I was excited and intrigued by the idea of a slurp noise cancelling fork, only to learn it's in fact a slurp noise enhancing fork.  The lead up was such bullshit.  Also, I spilled milk on myself while eating cereal in bed.

Wow that is dumb as shit. You have this bigass heavy-looking thing hanging off your fork and all it does is trigger a sample of some shitty 90s workstation "wow" demo preset on a smartphone. I appreciate the unmatched Japanese dedication to food aesthetics, but this implementation has truly gone awry.

the presumptuousness for my automatic politeness that modern software exhibits pisses me off a lot. i pressed a "print screen" button by accident and got a huge dropbox popup offering me to save that and subsequent screenshots to dropbox. i didn't even fucking ask for that offer but the only option to refuse it was to click on the "Not interested, Thank You" (or something like that) button. why the fuck would i thank dropbox for polluting my screen with their shit? such interface choices force their users to treat them with politeness and respect without them respecting my own wishes. fucking cunts.

Yeah it's pretty fucking stupid. I mean, I get the idea. It seems like many Japanese are inherently self-conscious about how their normal customs are perceived by foreigners, and they're afraid that slurping offends them. But that "woosh" sound drowning it out is ten times more annoying. Personally I never found noodle-slurping offensive in the least, and in fact adopted it as a regular habit.

Latest FWP is the zipper on my favorite zip-up hoodie is stuck now after the last laundry cycle. It's jammed on one side at an angle and I can't even move it, no matter how much strength I exert. Hope there's a fix for this.

Can you imagine a crowded ramen restaurant where everyone had that thing on?

Use that data mining to find an average slurp sound and then reverse the polarity at an average volume and it could reduce it, I guess.

Seems like a lot more trouble than what it's worth...

That was exactly what I was imagining!  But alas the idea's too good to be true.  Absolutely worth the trouble imo.

Keep throwing eggs at the wall until your room is an aquarium of egg juice.

FWP: there doesn't appear to be a word in the english language that refers to all the goo contained within an egg, both yolk and white.

FWP2: there is no word in the english language that refers to a joyful and tragic event occurring simultaneously in one's life.  That would be a good word to have.  How does one go about suggesting new words for a language?  Is that an influential writers/internet hive-mind only thing?

 

Why would there be a word for that? They are two separate things. There's no word for all the goo within our bodies....

 

Innards or guts would suffice for our body goo imo.  There is no equivalent for eggs.  I mean, you could use innards and guts for that too, but it would be more poetic rather than comfortably colloquial.  Yolk and whites are referred to together frequently enough to justify a new word encompassing that.

 

FWP: I was going to go on a walk to listen to the first part of elseq (for the first time), but then realized I hadn't eaten since lunch.  So I cooked, ate, looked at some old photographs and now it's 1:15am.  If I follow through with this plan it will be 2:15 by the time I get back, and I'll probably want to watch something to unwind, in which case I probably won't get to sleep until at least 3:30am.  Again.

 

I wish I had beer.

 

I mean surely the word "egg" encompasses that?

amniotic fluid is a kind of secretion

I'm getting super antsy and frustrated because suddenly I'm in meetings half the day. I put a meeting from 11 to 1 on my calendar called "lunch" just so people would stop scheduling shit over it. We'll see how that goes.

Greasy shiitake mushroom with green tea & honey tastes a bit like weed

My voice is terrible, but I'm good at singing flat.

Ceylon tea and a fistful of chocolate

Your problem is so first world I don't even see it, well done.

12 year relationship ended a few weeks ago. My house is full of her stuff. I’ve been making piles of things that she needs to come pick up. So much crap she needs to get out of my house. It’s a museum to our relationship. Ugh. Can’t wait for it to all be gone. Also we adopted a dog a couple years ago and the dog and I bonded. It was my first dog. Technically it was her dog though because we adopted it from someone in her extended family. So she got the dog. I miss the dog.

You doing alright? That's a big life change...

Damn man, that's a legit problem rather than a FWP, sorry to hear that.

oh it feels 1st world though because everything is weird as shit. i'm doing ok though.. thanks for asking     

our relationship was complicated. was long distance for a while (5 years!) so being in a house full of her crap isn't unusual feeling though has different context now.  feels pretty modern. 

i'll start looking for a dog to adopt after the holidays. 

Oh man, I feel that.  I ended a relationship with my girlfriend of 12 years not too long ago, and had bonded with a cat that we decided she should keep.  Miss that cat a fuck-ton.  At least with the breakup you know it's for the best, but my relationship with that cat couldn't've been better!     

10-12 years seems to be a tough time for relationships.  I know a few other couples that either broke up or faced some serious relationship testing drama around then.

Dang dudes. Sorry to hear it, very shitty.

I had a 6 year one end in June and I went straight into that one from a 5 year one previously so it's weird being single again.

Only difference is I kept the cat

yeah.. the pets are the children.  the dog was best damn little dog. 5 yr old pomeranian. such a character. 

there's 5 or 6 people i know who got married or divorced in the last year. crazy times.
