I’m really proud of myself. “The Bachelor New Zealand” has just finished and our pseudo-news site “Stuff” has a quiz about the program.
I didn’t know a single answer.
Statistically I was likely to get a quarter of the questions right as they were all multi-choice. I actually bettered that by getting 4/11, but I can live with that. The important thing is that all 4 of the ones I got right were guesses 
I love SQL Saturday, but holy crap will I be happy on Sunday when it’s all over.
I’m told that I’ll find it much easier to run next year. headdesk
I’ve been hunting down Concert deals for groups I have to see now or never see and up pops ZZ Top, at the local casino.
Best concert I ever saw was ZZ Top on their Recycler tour. And that wasn’t even that good of an album. And this one is up for $32.
I took a pass on Ian Anderson “And the members of Jethro Tull” and the eco warrior production of the life of Aqualung. It was a orchestral and movie driven theater experience with the band on stage playing and singing along. For something like $95 a piece. IT looked pretty cool, but I didn’t want to pay that much to get preached to about how GMOs are bad.
Didn’t I see this EXACT post yesterday?
Dejavu all over again…
Or was it all a dream?

I thought so, but it popped up when I logged in the second time today, and I looked to see it up above and it wasn’t there so I hit reply.
Weird.
In other news, got the power shut off yesterday because my wife brain farted the bill for three months. So I call up in righteous anger to get it fixed, to find out not only were we three months behind, but they left me a voice mail last month about it and gave me an extension.
It’s a glitch in the Matrix.
Vending machine salad is a scary idea…
Not as scary as vending machine sashimi.
Oh I don’t know, I think the vending machine for mixed Chinese feast scares me the most.
How long have those ribs been in there? How long!? 
Tell me that’s not a real thing.
The vending machine salad is something that is actually going to happen at my work.
Ah, man… that sucks. I guess it’s better in the spring than winter, but damn.
Two big ifs, but otherwise…
and
2) If the vending machine vendor changes the contents frequently… again, like I’ve seen, every other day.
Then I’d buy a salad from one, if it looked nice and had what I wanted in a salad.
The machine I’m refererring to had lunchmeat sadwiches, cake, pudding, salads.
Yeah, and the damn money is jus tsitting in the account the whole time because I’ve already budgeted it out.
Just spending the day doing the needful.
When you’re talking to someone from London and you show them the scar on your arm from where you were knifed during a mugging the last time you were in London and their only response is “it happens all the time” - that does not make it better! If anything it makes it worse!
That line is straight out of one of my libertarian science fiction books. The point in time where the immigrant from Earth is ostracized by the people around her because she blows off being raped and mugged multiple times by saying “it happens all the time” and shrugging. Everyone eventually realizes it’s not because she doesn’t care, but because she’s been conditioned that this is normal. Which is followed by them trying to explain to her that it’s a bad thing.
So is that recurring pain I’ve had in my leg recently the result of my keys pressing on my leg in an uncomfortable way due to wearing work pants?
Solution: don’t wear pants.
I get the whole “support your local store” thing but when the store is charging a 20% premium over the manufacturer’s own website, it’s really hard to buy it locally.
Wow, that’s awful. What store?
