hey that IS bullshit

What a dickweed. I've never had a maid, but of my friends who did when I was growing up, I remember that they had to have the place somewhat tidy for her to do her job. I think Tom might misunderstand.

Actually, there are some maid agencies that will do hoarder/extreme messiness cleanup work. The agency I worked for had to call in some of them for new dementia clients.

re the new malkmus record

there was an ad for the this in spotify telling me to listen to it so i clicked on it and it wasn't available for me to play

ordering glasses online so i went to my optometrist to get my prescription, but i didn't have him measure the distance b/w my pupils, so i have to do that manually, or i have to go back

protip: i just walked into a lens crafters (no appt, already had my script from a diff doctor) and they did it for me. no cost, no hassle. then i ordered online :)

protip: don't do this These Eye(glasse)s

my TV broke, so now i have no way of accessing my DVR to prevent it from recording Glee tonight

A friend of mine was recently laid off from a medicinal marijuana farm and paid a severance of $5000 in weed.

but what was the street value?

i bet people get paid in drugs more often in the third world tbh

I can't remember, are the stores higher than street value or vice versa?

Can't you do this online somehow?

i don't think i have the special kind that you can control from your phone or w/e. anyway an update to my story: my uncle fixed the TV and my sister said "oh let's just watch Glee, it's already recorded." :(

xpost The street value was so shitty - which is why she was laid off - that I believe she and her friends just eventually smoked it all. From my understanding, marijuana is practically valueless on the west coast.

Charity muggers can take the enjoyment out of giving

otm, those people are vile

- forgot to do my fantasy team again ffs
- have to cram in arsenal vs chelsea AND a steak lunch before making it to a comedy gig in galway at five

Internet has been up and down all weekend, mostly down today, but it's because the cable co is rolling out a big speed increase, from 10MB downstream to 25MB.

• have had Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" stuck in my head for three days

e-40 is releasing three new albums on the same day, i'm going to have to make a lot of choices about what else to delete from my ipod to fit them all on it at once

Visiting with friends in South West England last weekend, and the sustained dry weather there means that a hosepipe ban in gardens is imminent. My chum Carl professed concern that he might not get time to jetwash the patio before this was enforced.

Putting together some music for my wedding reception and having to come to terms with saving some time by using some old 192kpbs rips instead of re-repping my CDs at 320.

Ebert should've known that Brainless Hulu would have some design flaws

This is the point in list making that I hate, where suddenly impossible choices have to made. Deciding to leave Ariel Pink out of my top ten was hard enough, now I'm figuring out whether lightning bolt, Oneida, Dial, or Meek Mill gets the shaft on my albums list

friend's FB post, precisely five minutes ago

Does anyone know of someone who does flower drying and pressing in Sheffield? It's a single rose that needs to be done urgently. Can you let me know asap please. THANKS

that rose will start a scrapbook that will win the heart of your friend's paramour

My band's minister of information has caused media uproar with his bizarre anti-semitic conspiracy theories. #securityofthefirstworldproblems

SUPER-frustrated that I've been asked to provide my address history for THE LAST 6 YEARS. It's taken me more than an hour to gather the 7+ addresses for this, and the times I lived there.

I think tasks like this create extra work for people who choose to be mobile for their personal and professional development. People who move around a lot often do so to fulfill their ambitions, pursue opportunities, and learn more about other parts of the world. Shouldn't society design data capture processes that encourage all these things, rather than "punish" the people who have these attributes?

oh dear lord
