Just went to the local second hand shop to get some jeans, as the ones I have now are hanging off my skinny arse.

These new ones are marked waist size 31. I haven't been this thin since I got salmonella about 8 or nine years ago!

Let's hope a trip back to see my family with fatten me up some.

Remember this, Itchy, when you meet your chillun's chillun.

The new owners of my building, themselves a long story, installed gutters along the roofline and a drainpipe to carry runoff to the drain in the first-floor parking area. In my years of living here I always wondered why the previous owners didn't have a drainpipe and just let the runoff plunge out of a hole to fall three stories and make an unholy racket when it hit the concrete.

Now I know why: at the first significant snowfall/melt/refreeze cycle the gutters and drainpipe freeze solid, sending the overflow every which way down the back fire escape and coating every vertical or horizontal surface of our emergency lifeline in six inches or so of solid ice. Delphine the downstairs neighbour is complaining to me about this and so I humoured her by spending an hour or so this afternoon crouched with a hammer and whaling away at the accumulated ice. The adorable Hasidic children on the first floor watched me through their playroom window, gigging and jumping around as chunks and wicked spears of ice rained down on their patio.

I think I'm staying here this Christmas and roasting a duck.

Handed in my resignation today

Fuck that. Smash the drainpipe in such a way that it appears the ice has burst or collapsed it.

[wastinytext]does this sound insane? or just lame?[/wastinytext]

Not as lame as making me copy and paste your tiny text.

I chatted with an anonymous someone on Gabbly recently, whose time zone was (supposedly) 5 hours ahead, thus being in (probably) Inglind.


Today I am covered in rope splinters. Old freight elevator, you know. I am anticipating tomorrow night's jam sess with glee. I know "jam sess" is frowned upon at EA but y'all don't pay my bills.

Actually, it was the cashier of the travel agency that had a bug during my first try. The Visa center recorded the request and thus, for the others attempts, I was above the maximum amount.

Problem solved! I now have my tickets to Chicago!

Nice car btw.

Sometimes there's nothing like the good old fashioned Biblical plagues for extracting vengeance.

Back when I when I was married, I was this close to salting the front lawn of the neighbour lady. I was going to shoot for either a pentagram or else Hello Kitty's face.
