The Last Whiskey Bar

I'm about to leave for the airport for my and Payne's trip to Edinburgh.

Safe journey! I'm a little envious.

Thank you Google. No seriously. I typed in the flight number. Due in Dublin in 46 minutes. Thank God.

It is fairly impressive what services Google will offer just from typing things in the search bar.  From mathematical equations to foreign times to up to date currency conversions to....well, apparently, flight details.

Now if only they didn't store it all on giant servers which allow the US government and Chinese hackers unfettered access...

I got a vintage rapier for Xmas. A fucking rapier. Happy now.

Pics!

An acquaintance was warning me against storing anything in a cloud because of privacy concerns, and I was like LOL you're warning me about this on Facebook from your device from which you access Google, dawg, shut up.

Also I seriously hate unsolicited advice from people I barely know. It just makes so many assumptions about my ability to manage my own life (or, from their apparent perspective, inability to do so) and that started to get insulting over ten years ago.

I fucking love cloud storage. But I'm also not storing anything private or illegal on it because  only an idiot would store anything private or illegal on a cloud server. I just have articles and, like, syllabi for classes on mine.

Also, good to hear Twidsister is safe and hooray Payne and Pixie!

I know, right? I use it to keep my (legally purchased) movies and books, photos from my phone, and my school homework.

[Juana]

yep. it's not a hard thing to figure out. if a person is stupid enough to do otherwise, they deserve to get caught.


Making brownies of GOD for Twid and Phoxxy atm. Don't know if the batches will fit into the largest tins I could find. D: I forgot how much they expand while baking.

Cos they get to go to Edinburgh? 

Shit man, I forget just how weird this international gap thingy can be at times

Nice!

So I just recently discovered a side-effect of this whole divorce thing.  I think my Mom has got it into her head that this means I will eventually be settling down with someone and start making more babies.  She's going to be sorely disappointed.

Taekwondo for the first time in eight years tonight.

They could be flying into Glasgow.

I'd be envious of going to Edinburgh too, with that as the other outstanding option.

Envious because i rather liked scotland. It should be noted that most of my time was spent in inverness though.

I got up fairly early today and am predictably irritated that i cant get lunch yet because people are backwards and dont know the joy of eating a hamburger or some other lunch food before 11 am. No theyd rather have keep their notions of time specific foods and break that rule by eating pancakes for dinner.

Fucking grain bugs - found some in my flour and a few other things maybe 5 months ago. Threw out open shit - douched the kitchen and cabinets. Sprayed down enough stuff to kill every living thing in the house. And everything was fine for a bit. One or 2 dead ones that I assumed was as a result of the spray.

Fast forward to the weekend before Christmas and they're back again - except somehow even more than before. On the counter, on the pizza stone on the microwave. behind the microwave. Tore apart the cabinets again since exterminator was coming this morning and only found them inside one almost empty container of stuffing and a SEALED bag of almonds. Into the trash went anything open and I'm going to super double check everything before I put it back later. Exterminator put down some goop made for cockroaches that apparently works on these things too and pretty much told me to clean everything and toss anything that's been sitting a while (I know they can only do so much). Of course what I hear is that, despite my best efforts is "your house is gross, this is your fault".

Four years doing the same thing, cleaning the same way, and it's just these past 6 months I've noticed anything. And the way the apartments are set up, for all I know these have made their way here from someone else's gross pantry, in which case there's nothing I can do. So now all I can think about is bugs and my post-holiday relaxation weekend will instead be spent obsessively cleaning the kitchen (pull the fridge out to clean - yea, like that's happening by myself, maybe someone will be around) and probably the rest of the house. And it probably still won't be enough.

I mean, I know they don't do much and it's not like there's thousands of them (that I can see) but for all my obsessiveness about cleaning that's one big smack of failure right there
