stupid first world problems you're dealing with

i was at work and this girl was wearing a kuffiyeh and i was like hey nice kuffiyeh and she was like oh tha- wait what did you call it? and i said kuffiyeh! and she was like whats a kuffiyeh? and i was like the scarf thing you’re wearing is called a kuffiyeh and she was like why is it a kuffiyeh and i was like because it is called a kuffiyeh and she was like but why and i was like because its palestinian and thats what they call it and she was like oh i just call it a scarf i got it because its cute.

sigh.

nah man this was a proper arafat style kuffiyeh, black and white with the same pattern and all. totally a symbol of palestinian solidarity. people get in trouble over wearing them like that lol.

like honestly i thought she was making a statement, she seemed to be wearing it with purpose.

I guess that perception holds true in the States. wasn't there some uproar about a woman wearing one of those in a coffee ad or something?

i dunno about that, but urban outfitters got a bunch of flak for selling palestinian style kuffiyehs.

also, it's not just american, i recall some spanish politician getting in a boatload of trouble for accepting one as a gift.

oh and i guess the first world problem involved is that i would totally wear a kuffiyeh but now i'd just look like a copycat.

lol

Someone put a document through the office photocopier that still had wet tip ex all over it, and now everything has great streaky lines through it when copied.

I mean, come on.

Its not on the glass, the document went through the roller feed and its all over the rollers. Its better now, i managed to scrap some of it off with a paperclip. First world solution!

How old is your copier? Most newer ones have a self cleaning function to take care of stuff like that.

hudson mohawke cancelled his gig tonight :(

I hope you don't have what I had last week. Watch out for the bronchitis aftermath, if so. There's some kind of super cold sweeping the country and opening up secondary respiratory infections in its hapless victims.

If you start coughing up really gross stuff, see a doc and get some antibiotics fast.

Sorry :(

yeah nearly everyone i have known has gotten bronchitis

i'm kind of banking on my immune system to stop me from ending up with it. my immune system is fucking great.

It's swept across the UK too. There's a two year cycle of bronchitis inducing cold viruses, and this one has been particularly bad.
