When the lady escorted me out the door, down a couple of steps, she remarked how she hated taking the stairs, to which I, sheepishly, replied: "Have been keeping a low profile on the work out?"

I am a doof, I know this thing.

Doof!

I actually slapped my forehead after reading this.

Am writing in my garden today (when not getting distracted by EA). I think black bamboo is one of my favourite plants.

turns out the lump in my Jackie's breast was just a cyst

welling up

After Ben went to sleep a few hours ago, I was looking online and randomly decided that I am going to spend my Wednesdays off of work each week figure skating, with the hope that I'll eventually regain my skills enough to be capable of coaching a few hours a week or more (since I get paid $80-120 an hour for that).

This means that I will willfully allow myself to be identified as an..an..ADULT FIGURE SKATER! Jesus fuck. Play the soundtrack to "Romeo and Juliet" and let me gently waltz jump my way into mediocrity and broken dreams.

my family begged me to switch to a new internet plan. I did, and i just got the bill for $21,000.

the phone company insists they don't have that number wrong.

WHAT THE FUCK??!?!?!?!

this still hasn't really sunk in yet...

Don't knock it, most average adults can be identified as 'television viewers' or 'assembly-line fodder'.
Little detail: the searing pain I've had in my right shoulder/upper arm for the past week has mysteriously vanished.

wait what? how is that even possible? Are they charging you in advance for several lifetimes of internet use? That has to be a mistake, and I hope it gets sorted out quickly.

Let us know what happens!

What kind? I had a Boss looper (one of the white ones) and could just never get the feel of it.

oh goddamn...that's terrible.

I just don't even know what to say.

Fuck, I'm gobsmacked. How the hell do they justify doing that? And how can they be so sure that they didn't make a mistake?
