This is a grumbling thread. →[More:]I am stuck at work until God Only Knows When on a Friday night when I had big plans involving delicious food and watching figure skating on TV. grumblegrumblegrumblegrumble.
Everybody has a sex tape, except me. Wait, that wasn't a real complaint
That wallpaper I put up? It's wanting to come down and doing it's best. Making big fat cracks between the folds now. I'm currently hating the wall. It took way too long and toddler didn't find it fun after the first half-hour so now she's unhappy with me while I'm unhappy (and re-glueing) the wall. 'cept I can't use the ladder cuz she decided to sleep in my room so that'll be noisy. argh. I hate wallpaper.
Waitaminute, you DON'T have a sex tape? Then what did I just spend $29.95 for? It's supposed to be part of the "Barely Meta" series. (Although when I think about it, on the first DVD, "jessamyn" seemed to have the piercing on the wrong side of her nose, but who notices things like THAT?) Anyway, now I'M grumbling.
That Southafrican Castle looks cool, but this is the worst time of year to relocate from the northern to southern hemisphere, since we'd be just finishing the Autumn/Winter part of the annual cycle here and then starting it there. Let's set a tentative move date at the end of September.
And armed goats?
Whatever makes you feel secure...
There is a sometimes morning walker in my neighborhood - tuneness, constant, whistling guy. He wonders why the dog freaks a bit around him. She doesn't really freak, but hey, if you see a dog, you can't stop the whistling? You get affonted-like when the dog looks at you alertly? You are whistling, old dude. wtf.
See the dog doesn't really usually do anything more than normal dog stuff, but because she is a feared type breed, she gets me the evil eye. By doing things like paying attention to whistling dude. A beagle, for example, would be indulged or even praised for such behavior, but people are driven to comment that I have An Agressive Dog.
Not whistling guy. He just whistles, and gives us the eye.
Put something funny looking and alien on the dog, so the whistling guy looks like an asshole for giving thr stink eye to your whimsical dog.
"He's giving that mushroom wearing dog the stink eye! Bastard. Whistling bastard."
