I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Happened on mine too.

Thanks, Kate. That's good to know.

It's a city provided, gps located trashcan! Such hullabaloo over size (never mind that I think the bigger question is whether this is actually a good use of tax resources, considering it came out of the blue and wasn't a community request.)

GPS located trash can?? Damn. Though my compost can has apparently wandered off somewhere, so it'd be nice if it were gps tagged and I could find it, I guess?

A friend just informed me she and another friend have secretly been sleeping together for months. And now I'm all weirded out that I didn't know (and I was hanging out with the two of them a bunch, and hearing all sorts of stuff from the one that has a WHOLE different shade of meanings knowing she's not jsit a concerned friend/unbiased observer, but instead totally involved, and advice shed asked for is totally not what I'd have said if I knew, etc) and ugh. I hate not knowing shit. AND, she's asked me to not tell another mutual friend. Hate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHY IS THE TRASH THE SAME SIZE AS THE RECYCLING?? SHOULDN'T WE BE ENCOURAGING MORE RECYCLING???????

Oh jeez, meara.

Oh yeah, that got worked in there too, Jesse.

Our trash cans were bigger than the recycling, AND they were blue. Many people moaned that blue is for recycling, OBVIOUSLY, so everything was the wrong color.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oy, meara, yeah, I hate that stuff.

Well, blue is for recycling HOW ARE WE EXPECTED TO LIVE IN THIS CHAOS?

Our trash cans are gigantic and I barely ever have any trash (and my recycling I have to cart myself to the town two hours away (but it's still eco because I was going there anyway once a week)) so I only ever drag it out once or twice a month. We have a neighbor who has apparently paid extra to have two. As far as I know, it's a couple in that house, just like us. So I have no idea how they're generating that much trash every single week.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, our trash cart doesn't get filled in 1 week, but we pull it out on trash night anyway, because if we wait the 2-3 weeks it takes for us to fill it, the cart starts to reek like your worst nightmare.

We are black for trash and green for recycling. And the REALLY eco-conscious neighbors have an extra-small trash cart and an extra-large recycling cart. Showoffs.
