You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

1 terabyte is 1000 GB.

Is it 1000 or 1024? I know they mess with that for some measures, but I can never remember which.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

According to Wikipedia (welcome back!), it's 1000 GB. 1024 GB is a tebibyte.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Jamie Farr, pretty much. I suppose I'm being too picky -- I want a sexy or geeky famous person.

I can't get to sleep yet. Bleargh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I occasionally leave a burner on, which makes me feel dumb. But then I usually check the stove three times to make sure I didn't leave a burner on. Going back the fourth time doesn't make me feel any less dumb. I R distractable, apparently.

And herewith I bring up styles of coexistance. If I find a burner on, I turn it off. Or re-wash the dirty dish, or put the butter back in the fridge, or return the flashlight to the drawer. If I think of it later, in conversation, I'll mention it. If not, deed is done, we're good.

If H finds a burner on, the milk left out, the spoon in the knife drawer, or a dish that didn't get clean, he's compelled to show me, and tell me about it. It's not a punishment thing, it's more an assigning responsibility thing. I try not to resent it. In fact, I've brought him dirty spoons and the half-full filter pitcher and dishes shelved in the wrong cabinet... and it all just feels so petty. Fix it. And move on. Right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I bring stuff like that up to DH because the alternative is waiting until the millionth tiny thing is one tiny thing too much and I wind up screaming WHY CAN'T YOU JUST WASH A FORK LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING when really it's not his fault because he has no fucking clue I was mad about the forks not being clean in the first place. But that's just us.

Anyone want to explain why my printer keeps defaulting back to the printer in the wrong office? Shouldn't this be something I only have to reset once?

Also, and this is a serious question, the past few days my car has had frost on the inside front windshield. I can't figure out what I might be leaving open for moisture to be getting in. Any ideas? The heat/ac vent is definitely closed, so are the windows and sunroof.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Grrr. My shuttle to work filled up and left five minutes early this morning. Somehow, starting this fall, there have been a bunch of new people taking it, and I DO NOT APPRECIATE it. I hate when it's so crowded anyway, and this morning my options were wait a half-hour in Barnes & Noble (with no smartphone) or take a cab. We took a cab. Luckily, I had a friend to split it with, but @@@@@@@

Leaky seal somewhere.

I know my car has a leak. Where it is, I do not know. I've resigned myself to this fact.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh really?

You do understand I'm kidding, right? Right?

I am in what feels like a pain crisis all week. This is not fair. Everything hurts head to toe, fuckit.

If someone did this to me- I would have to kill that person. But I can also understand Jessica's point, especially if it is always one person doing the cleanup. A long ago boyfriend used to try and use positive reinforcement to get me to clean and it seriously made me want to kill him. "Good job doing the dishes, Sophia!!!". "Good job putting away the laundrey!!!". Aaaargh. It made me feel like I was a child.

2 in a row, again-

HOMG, the woman temporarily working across the hall from me talks on the phone ALL DAY about her daughter's cheerleading team. The quiet was bothering me, but this is ridiculous.
