It's furniture-throwing time: New Angroyed thread

[davy]

I've got a long enough chain lock that I can loop it through the frame and the front wheel when I lock my bike to the rack. That's my method.

[RavingLunatic]

If you've seen Pee Wee's Big Adventure, you know that no lock is foolproof. Dude used 200 ft of chain & still had his bike stolen.

(This post would've been so much better with a video of the relevant scene, but I can't find it anywhere.)

the stars at night!
are big and bright!
deep in the heeaaart of texas!

dang I love that movie

I'm angroyed that I am not watching it right now.

[FreddyKnuckles]

Man. I am in a shitty fucking mood. Eom.

[kadiekatRN]

Now I want to watch Peewee's Big Adventure!  I like the part when he collapses after freeing the animals from a burning pet store.  And the movie adaptation of his story where he has his deep voiced cameo as a hotel desk clerk.  And...well, I like all the parts.  Seen that movie about a zillion times.

FK, you should watch it, maybe it will improve your mood.

Oh, man, one of the many classic scenes. "Paging Mr. Herman."

It's on netflix instant, you may be pleased to discover.

My 6 month old internal hard drive made a terrible noise out of nowhere today and promptly died. Not cool, especially since this has been like my third experience with sudden hard drive death in as many years. WTF. At least I have Time Machine running daily and had a spectacularly unproductive day, so I shouldn't have lost much if anything. Getting a new hd in the am, since I don't have time to wait to deal with the warranty, but I think having a back up one on hand might not be a bad thing.

My boss was supposed to bring breakfast this morning but he is at the Blackhawks parade.



HUNGROYYYYYYED

A vendor gave us a sample of a solvent to use in sticker removal. He did not realize that it would EAT THROUGH THE GODDAMN PLASTIC JAR he put it in. It leaked out and got on a lot of stuff, thankfully didn't damage anything important. I had to move a lot of stuff for cleaning and I can't put it back yet so my whole workspace is messed up and I can't do anything. The fumes are probably going to kill me so I think I'm going to leave.

I'm all restless here and can't really settle until I receive an assurance that Jim has had some food.

[YojimboMonkey]

please... send... cookies...

That is awful. I would definitely be leaving immediately. I can't stand smells like that, both because they always give me a headache and because the thought of dioxins and other carcinogens infiltrating my body freaks me out.

j/k I had a lunch in the freezer from a month or two ago that never got consumed and I ate it, it didn't reheat very well but it was edible, or most of it was, I did throw some of it into the garbage.

Man, I forgot how unpleasant it is to lug around your computer and a bunch of books all day. The option to strike out without 10+ pounds of gear in my bag was definitely one of my favorite things about not being a student any longer.

I had a meeting at 1, so I stuck around for that. Fortunately we had it outside.. Then I left. Ended up with a  minor headache anyway. Wah wah

[milesofsparks]

dude, seriously, watch out for those fumes.  they are toxic and nothing to mess around with.

hey the bloke had a meeting at 1 today too. that would be 1AM because some wanker in Chicago could only make 10am. then he slept through his alarm for the 7am one. I am annoyed on his behalf, and for the fact that he slept on the sofa instead of in bed.

mixed cats. I hope the fumes don't make you sick...

edit to fix the layout mess...

[diesel_powered]

All I can hear is the thumping of bass from the brahs next door. Yes, I got shitfaced with them a couple weeks back, but they're douches and I'm tired and thinking of going to bed early for once. Turn the fucking volume down after midnight, morons.

[mixed cats]

I'm tired today, but it's likely because of the 5th birthday party we went to last night, and not so much the fumes... I hope.

We had been making a lot of progress in cleaning out the black pit of despair that is our pool, but today the pump sprung a leak and we can't figure out how or why. The whole filter system is old and crappy, and replacing it will be at least $500, but that's no guarantee that the rest of the pool will behave. I think I'm caving and we're going to get rid of it. And then the whole deck. And then put in steps from our doors and be done with it. FUCK YOU YARD

[diesel_powered]

I'm kind of sick of explaining to my father that the phrase "spic ball player" doesn't fly with me.

[Ignatius]

It's kinda weird to depend on racist epithets to describe what is essentially the default case. I'm sure he gets plenty of mileage out of his shitty phrase of choice.

[mixed cats]

Ugh some of my family said some offensive stuff like that last night, it was upsetting.

We decided to get rid of the pool. There are scrap metal places that will do it for free because they want the aluminum. This happened to Bill:

So I have to drain all the water out to get it taken away. I started setting up a system of 4 different hose siphons around the pool to distribute the water slowly & evenly around the yard and not flood anything too much. I retrieved one particularly long section of hose from the pool shed that I've never used before - it's just been sitting in the shed for at least 4 years. When I sucked the end of those hose to start the siphon, I immediately started gagging and retching - the air tasted like piss. When I finished coughing, I yelled, "What the fuck was that!?" and a few seconds later I saw a pile of live mice come pouring out of the end of the hose in the flood of pool water.

I laughed at him which probably wasn't the best reaction.

A huge thunderstorm blew away the nest the mourning dove had made on the tree adjacent to the house. It also gave me terrible asthma.

So now I am wheezing, and mourning the mourning dove, and I'm also as unmotivated as fuck. Did nothing today except a tiny bit of cleaning, soccer-watching, and napping.
