(hi sandbox!)

Even after a good talking to and clear instructions on how a roomba would do it, the vacuum cleaner is still sitting forlornly out in the main room, just can't manage to put itself away in the closet.

it is outraged

(hi jaq, welcome back, we missed you!)

i discovered my 'last peeler you'll ever buy' in the trash can under a mound of vegetable peelings, and to add an extra layer of outrage it was my second last peeler you'll ever buy, my first last peeler you'll ever buy got thrown out the first week i owned it and i didn't realise in time.

(hi jaq!)

Hi Jaq!

Estela, I think you have a peeler problem. I will attempt to dream up a solution to this outrage.

Also reminds me: need to buy vacuum cleaner.

maybe jaq's roomba can be programmed to roam over to your place occasionally. for that matter, maybe jaq's roomba can be programmed to roam over to MY place occasionally.

stela, maybe it would be more economical and less outrageous if you just bought the disposable peelers from now on.

oh i thought it was just a normal vacuum and jaq was trying to shame it into roomba-like behavior by telling it all about how a roomba would go about cleaning the floors and then stowing itself neatly away.

domestic outrage resolved: working internets!

^^ this

I felt bad for my outrage though and apologized as well as for yelling when it sucked up the belt from my robe.

hooray for working internets!

(I am actually afraid of roombas tbh)

i guess i was having a domestic fantasy. also, i'm a careless reader. oopsie.

i do like the idea of a roomba trundling about the city and letting itself into our homes to work while while we sit with our feet up, cocktails in hand.

"oh hi, thanks for coming over. i'll just be out here on the porch if you need anything. say, next time you pass through the kitchen would you mind bringing me that pack of smokes on the counter? i'd hate to get in your way."

i've had this step ladder for a long time but i only just noticed the lolabel:

:) sent the picture just now.

just got soooooo much hair cutoff my head
not really an outrage, more like a wonderful feeling

*fruit flies*

oh man, i have a fly infestation problem atm

we had one for a while but finally got rid of them
posting about it will probably bring them back

i built a trap for them, last year

that made me shiver.

i don't think i want to watch that video

xp

t. flystelashiver

i was shivering about your trap, not the youtube.

oh it was made of a small jar and a square of saran wrap with a small hole in it, sealed with a rubber band. you put a piece of fruit in the jar and watch the flies go in. they can't find their way out. works like a charm!

harb n/l

you could patent it and call it The Jarbl

lol

I bait my Jarbls w/ cheap balsamic vinegar or a nice foamy yeast solution for max fly attraction. Li'l dudes are swarming all over my indoor gardening so gonna take some action on 'em.

there is nothing quite like painstakingly squeezing lemons and limes for 30 min to make lemonlimeade and then accidentally knocking the container over when you put the lid on, spilling 80% of your labors onto the countertop, which then has to be thoroughly cleaned. outrageous.

if you give someone a nice round potato chip they shouldn't carry it delicately over to their little bed and then take a nap on top of it until it's just ugly salty crumbs.

nope

u always know what's what.

i send u my sympathies tehersa re your unacceptable citrus fiasco.

i need help figuring out how to hax

can't

dunno what it means

domestically outraged about my stolen wireless connection being stolen from me! i guessed a password of another but it seems to be not connected to ISP and i can't figure out the router's ip address :(((((
i am bad for stealing internets but it's their fault they picked stupid passwords and/or gave the password to the girl who normally lives in this apartment

i don't how we all keep going, plain old fashioned courage i suppose.

i was trying to grind a ton of pepper over my dinner and the thingy fell off and a hundred billion peppercorns fell into my food and i had to pick them up. but i missed some and crunched into them while i was eating and got quite a fright.

f. overheard me calling a kitchen implement 'fucko'.

that made me snort unattractively into my coffee just as poor violet was passing my desk. i am a bit ashamed of myself.

i have a terribly unfeminine habit of calling things by long strings of expletives when they don't behave: SHITTYCUNTMOTHERFUCKINGSHIIIIIIIIT

i got some vegetable dumplings at the chinese store yesterday and one of the ingredients is "JEW'S EAR" can you believe that?

i just said to the cat, "hello dumpling!" and she was nonplussed

That's a cat for you

i bet she was secretly thrilled, the little bosthoon.
