i was stupid and bought more corn cat litter and the moths are back. i gotta get an airtight bucket i guess. BLARGH

the good news is i’m going to clean my house, once and for all

i changed the bulbs in my kitchen to CFLs because i had accidentally gotten 40 w bulbs a while ago and it was too dark and i was getting new ones and now it’s *very* bright in the kitchen but it seems very yellow-green like i am in a storage room. it’s the bulbs but also the kitchen has bright green walls. kind of an outrage. not sure what i’ll do.

i keep looking at them and now little blue spots are floating in front of my eyes

the good news is i’m going to clean my house, once and for all

i say this like, every 3 days and then... oopsie.

lol yeah it’s not really clean yet. but last weekend i made a lot of progress.

there was some outrageous noise coming from under the living room floor this morning. WTF!???!

it sounded like a beaver was gnawing on the ceiling with its gigantic, yellowed teeth. but there was no beaver to be found in the basement so...?

maybe there was a ruckus on the doorframe, maybe ruby started wrestling with estela and estella over who is the tallest and then all the other names joined in, you should check and see if any of them have got a black eye or are looking a bit smudged.

i returned to my erstwhile abode to find that the new shower curtain i gave money to my brother to purchase does not match the curtains or tiles, neither of which have unicorns on them.

just get new curtains and tiles to match the unicorn shower curtain

LIKE DUH

Get some unicorn + rainbow stickers and put them on the mirror and tub! It will tie the whole look together!

glue a horn to your forehead and ram your brother with it.

Lisa frank that shit to the maxxxx

hmmph i suspect you all to have been ‘got at’

sometimes a love of ludicrousness can overpower a capacity for domestic outrage and the thought of you scowling at your unicorn curtain is enthralling.

also, there are some trouble-lovers on this board. not naming names.

y’all <3 .^. imo

your unicorn shower curtain has now been discussed at dodger stadium in los angeles.

what does bryce harper think of unicorn curtains?

he thinks they’re a hit

your unicorn shower curtain has now been discussed at dodger stadium in los angeles.

?

which part is being questioned, deems?

i just don’t understand the entire thing tbh

ha that is awesome

omg

that is going on a t-shirt, and i will post pics

that is so very great.

I am outraged that my air conditioning doesn’t work and my landlord hasn’t called me back in days and it’s hot and the humidity is 78% and we can’t sleep.

i am outraged for you but happy that my window unit works

the pots that my new herbs are growing in have been sitting outside empty and waiting for at least 6 years.

i left the barbeque open and an unanticipated shower has caused much outrage

did your hamburger get soaked?

nothing quite so disastrous, but it did lead to all the ash turning to mush which is going to take some cleaning whenever she gets around to it

that is outrageous

hrmph

I followed the perfect poach technique exactly as written and exactly as s did it last weekend, but my egg did not poach perfectly. Pfffft.

i like half and half in my iced coffee but have gotten 2 containers of it in a row that were sour! i get natural by nature brand from wf because it reminds me of naughty by nature but i am not getting that anymore!!!! what an outrage!

You can take anything back there! Go get yr money!

i figured i would spend money on something if i went so i just dumped it

i’m always too lazy to return stuff

i generally find it much too difficult to shop, let alone return things

i’m also too lazy to return things.

i’m cleaning my room today. it’s an outrage!

my increasing size is an outrage

look i been pondering this admission but i gotta let it out

sultans of swing is the best

the best

giant ikea bedframe under construction in our bedroom came up missing 1 very critical part. Our old bones will be outraged if they have to sleep on the floor tonight!

fruit flies

darraghmac, sultans of swing is not the best the best but <3 nonetheless.

aw. if all confessions had that feel-good payoff i’d never have stopped going.

There are so many storms in the area, the weathermen are warning power will likely go out. No rain or lightning here yet but already power is blinking! What an outrage!

what, an outage?

that dodgy pun is better than sultans of swing.

darragh, are there any other burdens on your conscience you would like to set down by posting about them on the sandbox.

why

what have you heard.

that in the distant past you sang with a swing band and your stage name was darraghmac the knife.

it all happened outwith the house and is therefore out of thread’s jurisdiction imo

darraghmac the butter knife

that is almost certainly a fat jibe imo

guys

i am outraged by your squabbles

if henry has taught us anything, surely it is to look beyond our minor differences regarding things like sultans of swing (which i’ll admit is pretty fuckin sweet if not strictly ‘the best’)

to be truthful, i only said butter because i wanted to make lxy happy, butter is one of her happiness trigger words (so is partridge).

i don’t know who this henry is but he sounds a bit pious.

to summarise, in the disant past darraghmac the butter knife sang with a sultans of swing band.

toi-disant past

happiness, triggered

also i confess that i am slightly gleeful that it’s fruit fly season again. harbl, tell us about your jarbl!

i was thinking about the jarbl a couple of nights ago, bc i think we have FFs.

if i discovered ffs i would say ffs

that is exactly what i said

fruit flies are such focused little creatures, you can tell they only think about fruit and how to get closer to fruit and they wish you wouldn’t wave them away from the fruit and they hope you will go out to the garden or the store and get some more fruit, etc. they never look at each other except at halloween and only then if they’re dressed as plums.

one persistent fucker has been buzzing round my head for a couple of hours.

i should really get up and organize a jarbl but i biked like EIGHT AND A HALF MILES today (which is oh about 8 x further than i’ve biked in a really long time) and i’m not moving from the couch anytime soon.

oh harbl, i’ve been meaning to tell you that i made my jarbl from a vietnamese yogurt cup, with holes poked into the lid. it’s rather brilliant, i think.

that’s perfect! i need a container because i don’t want to use a jar i want to keep around. they were gone because i went away for a few days. all i had to do was cut a tomato and they magically reappeared. ARGHHHHHHHHHBLS

this is such a quality thread and

f. overheard me calling a kitchen implement ‘fucko’.

― estela

is in my top five favourite posts.

my favourite thing about irl-estela is hearing her swear ^_^

i love this thread and that post too, ruby.

the season’s first fruit fly appeared last night.

<3 i’ve been thinking a lot about how much i loved seeing you all in april.

lately my sister keeps phoning me and calling various people cunts in a pleased defiant voice tone that i have always admired and so far her list has been spot on.

she’s trying to finish a phd so she has my sympathy and my ear.

This 8 story office building in downtown Birmingham is seriously infested with fruit flies and needs, like, 1 million jarbls.

Or, 1 gigantic one, suspended in the atrium.

imagine it. it might be quite artistic, if a bit serrano.

I am imagining a peppery jarbl :)

haha 1 million jarbls :)

i hoarded a package of jaffas and now they’re stale :(

tsk.

i am acquiring a roommate

he’s an acquaintance and is a good dude, although his name does not really suitably accept a -bl at its end.

i am sure it will be fine and perhaps even good, but i don’t really want to live with anyone except my ex and my her cat?

i dunno — it’s been quite a while now and there were reasonable reasons for us to have split but somehow it seems even more difficult now than it was a year ago

i had to read this a few times because i wasn’t sure if you were talking about getting a new cat or a human roommate. i am very tired.

we accidentally discovered the perfect jarbl concoction this week: whiskey soda with lime and ice, half consumed and left on the counter amidst myriad other neglected drinking, dining, and cooking accoutrements, till it becomes opaque and develops a thickish skin. the friut flies just dive right in and pickle themselves, even without the trickery of t-cut cellophane.

disgusting but effective.

we wondered why the invasion had abated mid-season, despite the unwashedness of practically every dish in the house, when all the while the wee drunks were quietly drowning their sorrows in a forgotten cocktail hiding behind a stack of plates.

i found some camping inside a plastic bag i had left on the table because it had a tomato inside :(

i’m sorry that’s not why i left it on the table. i left it on the table because i am disgusting. the flies were in the bag because a tomato was inside.

i’m not sorry that’s not why i left it on the table. i’m sorry in general.

<3

it makes me laugh with such great fondness harbl

although his name does not really suitably accept a -bl at its end.

i simply cannot parse this

but i’m sorry, mookieproof, that you’re feeling blue. breaking up is hard to do.

me: i don’t know why it makes me so happy to post about jarbls, but it does.

jergins: not a bad thing.
