If you have the opportunity to drop a TV on your own head, I strongly recommend against it. Even if you’re lucky like me, and don’t break your neck, it still won’t feel all that good. I’m kinda surprised the side of my head isn’t all black and blue today.
On the other hand, it’s opened up a sight line to the wall behind, creating a spot for me to hang some of my art that’s in storage currently due to lack of open wall space.
at least for my Signature Hot Chocolate drinking days. The store that promised to stock up just for me let me know that their stock up order was refused, and they are out stock now and forever more =(
Tease me with an email that says, “217253 points ($4345 in reward certificates*)”, then take it back a few hours later. Not that I deserved them, well except in a cosmic karmic re-balancing sense maybe, if you take the positive dating experience gaps in my life as importantly as I do =p
Still, a free TV bigger than my futon would have been nice.
I’m zipping along on the way to work, and just as I think to myself how pissed I’d be, if I were on the scooter, and someone went past as fast as I’m going, when I see a highway patrolman. He saw me too. We had a nice and expensive conversation. D’ohwell.
Saturday night’s date attempt was full of fail.
Starts off with an email 5 mins before meetup time, saying “running 45 mins late, and I already ate”. Continues with actual arrival time of more like 1.5 hours late. I failed to garner us an ideal location at the venue, and was asked for a ride home after less than an hour out. He wasn’t at karaoke last night, at least not by the time I left.
shrug.
back in the hole.
“I’d rather be bored
Than spend time with you,”
he says, in so many words.
Not much I can say next.
Nothing like having someone you though might ‘like’ like you, start telling you about their date plans for tonight, with someone else, to make you realize how deluded you are.
“we have a special Eastern gift for you”
I got an email, that at first I assumed was amazingly well targeted phishing, but it turns out that after a dry-spell of 5 years, I got a burst of sales in February, and actually was issued my first check, which of course was returned to sender, because I hadn’t updated my address info since 2000.
So, I’m trying to build and install our custom mix of boost libraries, and I’m following the directions on the wiki without isssue, up to the point of actual install of the completed binaries. When I give the command my commrades have left behind for me, I kept getting a bunch of errors about “…skipped…lack of directory-grist”. And none of the google results seem to be applicable.
Eventually it dawns on me that I’m running the install command as a non-root user, who of course, has no permissions to write to /usr/local/…
d’oh.
