start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

The idea that we would ever be interested in the living room and name of the go compare opera lad makes me want to hunt down his agent and everyone else involved in the meeting and rip parts of them out

wow video I grabbed off youtube and converted to MP4 has added like 300 hours before the performance I was trying to grab.
So need to get a fi9le editor to snip that bit off. Still reading as 133MB so something very odd going on but am seeing that the performance can be accessed on my computer at least.
Wasn't feeling very wide awake this afternoon so sticking through a performance based on Greek tragedy wasn't quite getting me there. Thought this would be easier and i could watch it later.l

Re: JiC's car. I was imagining a small bit at the bottom front of the window, but that shit would make me mad too. It's right in front of your face when you look to the left!

Mailkorder bookshop taht I only have contact for through a hub marketplace where tehir entry for a book I am looking for hasa note about current situation for delivery. That says taht it may be possible taht items from this seller may not be able to send to your address tahnks to Brexit and pandemic. Buut doesn't state this to be certain and this is the on ecopy I'm seeing this side of the Atlantic.
So I've written to them prior to ordering and asked if they can deliver here or otherwise I may have an address in the UK that I would be reluctant to use (actually taht may not be relevant to this situation and hope it isn't going to be later).
To which I've got a response asking me to provide the order number and further details before they offer any help. To which I've said twice taht this wasa question I asked prior to making an order. & then got a further request for the order number. I'm not sure if this is an automated response taht has changed slightly or an officious person who hasn't seen that the fact taht this was a question has been spelt out to them.
Drag is taht this si a book I could use to improve my sewing which is a major pastime with me. & it is the only one I'm seeing for sale reasonably cheap this side of the Atlantic.
Is this Catch 22 or something more base

actually what makes this worse was last night they sent me a message containing every previous message they got from me and still asking for this non existent order number

A friend is organizing a group of us to go on a fishing trip in late spring/early summer. None of them are close to best buddies or anything, but I like them all, we've known each other for many years, and never mind that I haven't fished in decades, this is not the time to say no to anything like this. However, I just noticed that one of the folks is a friend that doesn't drink and barely eats anything (no sugar, iiic, no bread, plus a few other no-nos) for vague health reasons, and voluntarily started going to AA a few years back for ... secret pot smoking? ("Seven years sober!" he announced the other night). He's also extremely likely to bring his acoustic guitar and play folk songs. (Related: once I told him I was listening to the new Neil Young album, and he asked me if it was electric. I said yes, and he said "oh, I only like his acoustic stuff.") Which is a long way around to say that friend or no, he sounds like he might be a drag on a weekend fishing trip.

John Belushi that guitar!

I have another friend prone to busting out his guitar and singing, too. I can't stand it. We'll be by a fire, just having a conversation, and the next thing I know he's strumming and playing "Hey Joe." I don't want to hear that!

Take a Bluetooth speaker and bump "Freebird" every time he reaches for the capo

this is deeply irrational

like its quite silly tbh but i have to vent

I follow a person on Instagram who sells vintage gowns & fancy clothes from the 1920’s through 1980’s - really cool stuff that I enjoy just from a fashion perspective

She has a lot of sheer dresses that would have traditionally been worn with a slip/petticoat/etc underneath. But she always models them in a bra & undies. On the one hand cool, she has a great body ... but it drives me bananas bc it changes the look of the dress! do i have to see your barely nude body every time?

i sound like a total uptight prude this is such a dumb IA but it bugs the hell out of me lol

message her and helpfully tell her it alters/undermines the look

then come back here and let us know if she's modelling them without underwear

lol

Reminds me of a story my aunt tells about a coworker (presumably named Joyce, but my aunt calls her Schmoyce) who made all her own clothes because whenever she tried on clothes in a store fitting room she would always turn out to be wearing the wrong color bra and would look like THE WRATH OF GOD!

i have one friend who, if we're getting ready to meet up in person, calls me on the drive there, like always....not to talk logistics, just to...chat.

I'M GOING TO SEE YOU IN TWENTY MINUTES, why do we have to talk now? we're going to use up our conversation for later!

I usually don't answer unless i'm concerned that something's wrong, but....idgi!

that would drive me insane

And yeah, my name's Tre Baker. Text 501-433-1037 for an ass-kicking.

tbf, you did qualify it with "nearly."

Or is it the hand gesture emojis you're IA about?

Do they make sour cream Doritos?

make sour cream bread crisps, with either onion or spring onion. coolah boolah

No.

yes

Who came up with that? "Hmmmm. Milk and onions."

"But what if instead, the milk has gone sour, eh?"

blooming tasty if you ask me. got a packet open right now

[Rutles' "Cheese and Onions" youtube link]

Yeah, I know, from a comedy record.

cheese and onion is the best crisp flavour

god I miss it so much

My kid has a memory game from ikea that has 17 pairs, for a total of 34 pieces.

Any time I've played any memory game the custom is to lay the tiles out in a grid. If there were 16 pairs you could do an 8x4 grid, and with 18 pairs it could be a 6x6 or 4x9. But this can only be laid out evenly in a 2x17 grid which is ridiculous.

Sweden is an odd country

yo i like that. then you stack the pairs face side up in the middle

i am in a fb group where ppl post pics of their coffee mugs, its v innocuous and was kind of nice at first

some people have a weird “visual storyteller” badge w their name for reasons i cannot fathom bc they super arent. or the bar is very low for them naming themselves as such

one such visual storyteller did a STOP ASIAN HATE tableau for their photo, which:
first, their heart is in the right place.
Love the sentiment. But the photo was of
1) a Willow-pattern porcelain mug
2) a Hawaiian inspired Chinese cookbook from the 80’s.

like. Seriously? lol

Another one was captioned “Puzzled?
1) jigsaw puzzle box
2) nondescript mug

i need to leave the group, it does my head in

they post every day like we are going applaud them for looking at things from such a “unique angle”

pix or get out

Manic Monday.

its like the most depressing form of attention-seeking

Black background kind of looks like a magician’s set up. The changing coffee cup and house detritus

didn't know what to expect for Manic Monday but it wasn't that.

lol

i'm oddly intrigued by what's next

It's obviously post figurative work. Probably derived from influences such as cubism and primitivism. Including her kid's paint your own mug of a high speed car alongside her kid's favourite stuffed toy. Probably just had a major tantrum so the artist has placed things related to this child together nad given it this semi ironic title. I mea maybe she was frightened by a Bangle at an early age.
NOt to be totally pseud or anything.
like.
innit.

I don't get this.

But thanks for the pix.

Am I doing that right?

yes. you are now a Visual Storyteller™️

Is storytelling trending or something? noticing a number of webinars on various forms of the idea.
A buzzword/meme?
New ay of thinking for some, looking at the concept of narrative

Boomer morons who shamelessly cheat at Scrabble-like online word games.

lol, i understand your anger here; i played a casual game of scrabble with a boomer once who used the dictionary WHILE we were playing and acted like i was crazy for suggesting that was anything less than kosher

I remember years ago playing scrabble with a (non-boomer) friend and he just casually checking a word in the dictionary un the middle of the game. He was baffled when I said that that was cheating, in his family growing up they had always played with dictionaries allowed.
