stupid first world problems you're dealing with

i bought a nintendo eshop card and when i scratched it the numbers came off it and was illegible... had to phone up Nintendo 1800 number and give them a bunch of info; i'll get the money put in my account in 3 business days 

went to bed at 3:45am, woke up at 4:12 thinking, 'can't believe my country is still selling precision missiles and intel to those Saudi fucks to target school buses in Yemen . . . ah, well, can't be helped, price of empire . . .' then I realized that I was out of Frosted Flakes cereal, and milk! GODDAMMIT!

I have to work later today and it's snowing like crazy.. Gotta take two buses and transfer so I'll wear my hiking boots

 Your country isn't only selling weapons to terrorist regimes, it is a terrorist state itself (see post WW world history). No milk sucks tho

Dreading my annual appointment with our accountant/tax preparer this evening.  From everything I've heard I might have to make a pit stop for some lube on the way.

I'm supposed to be picking my gf up at the airport but this god forsaken snowstorm literally has me trapped. I just watched a 50'+ fir tree snap and miss my neighbor's house by a few feet. I can't even get the car out around the corner without losing control. Do i leave my lady at the airport? Or do i die? Mondays amirite

Snow is fucking everyone's shit up over here too.  Strange weather.

Half way to work i hear they will stop the buses soon so i turn around.. Waiting for the bus in the freezing snow for what felt like 30 minutes. I'm not used to this.

We've gotten some snow but nothing crazy by calgary standards. The cold though - doesn't bother me at all but with windchill we've been seeing -30 to -45 for 10 days or so? It's looking pretty nice for the next week or so, only -20ish.

You're in Van right? Parents on the island sent me a picture, they got hammered with snow (Parksville area).

Went to bed at 2:30am (earlier than normal), woke up at 7am (way earlier than normal) and needed to know the origin of the phrase "they don't think it be like it is, but it do." I miss the days when I could wake up way too early and just fall back to sleep.

Did you find the origin? A lot of times when I’m briefing upper management, I want to throw this in as an answer to some of their more ridiculous questions.

lol

I'm going to use that on my boss now. 

Also top lel at pacific NW being snowed in after an itty bit of snow. Come to Ottawa boys.

That "but it do" quote was said by a baseball player long before my time in response to a question about racism in baseball.

FWP: I moused over my own name in an email thread and noticed there was public info that should be private. I use gmail, so I went in to edit my stuff and they had waaay too much info about me. I assume it's from a job application done over Google Docs ages ago or something. I went ahead and turned everything off ("paused"), but I still don't trust it won't un-pause itself in the future.

This article reminded me of this post.

Also fwp: i either have flu or stomach flu, either way, my bones feel like 1,000 year old parchment paper.

that's man-flu, don't expect any sympathy at home

fwp's today:

some impatient "woman" kicking off @ the kid in the sarnie shop because they put mayo in her BLT, "I SAID NO MAYO, NO MAYO!!!", reminded me of an ex

daytime tv + snooker = self harm

toasting spices pre-curry & phone rang, spices burned, no curry & slight hunger pangs w/delayed grub

Can't find any info on who mixed Devo - New Traditionalists.  Devo produced it, Karat Faye engineered it.... who the fuck mixed it???  Great sounding mix, fuck you.

On dicogs it says that it was mixed here https://www.discogs.com/label/266840-Power-Station so it was probably one of these four guys

Larry Alexander

Neil Dorfsman

Matthew Lamonica

Rhett Davies

Hmmm.  I'll go with Rhett Davies because of the Brian Eno connection (Eno coproduced the first album with Bowie).  But maybe one or more of the Devo guys is just that good.  

Thanks for the info.

Allmusic says Larry Alexander did the mastering with Bob Casale as the engineer and Faye as the assistant engineer.

For a second I thought you meant the guy that produced seinfeld mastered that album.

I'm tired.
