laughter is the best medicine

… to clean out our on-site storage unit only to find that another key-holder (one of the other units or the landlord) broke their key in the main entrance to the individual storage units, so we can’t unlock the door.

Cue applause. Thank you everyone for your lack of trying to fix the damn thing.

According to the chick from DirtCandy [it] is a “more natural soy sauce”. Umm… no. It means “soy sauce” in Japanese. Icantdealwiththeseobnoxiouschefs.

This guy (manager?) of Jewel Bako is being featured on Food(ography) and has mispronounced five mutha’ truckin’ Japanese words. Really?! And you’re claiming that some people just “don’t understand” the appeal of your restaurant?

My brother has five children [out of the 12 nieces and nephews] and one of the older kids had a friend over who screwed around with my brother’s computer, probably downloaded a trojan, and his admin password was changed. First thing he does? Calls me and insinuates (because he wouldn’t come right out and accuse me) that I somehow changed it while setting up his WiFi - and failing because he didn’t have an Ethernet cable - last Sunday. This is a bit of a sensitive subject as I have always been a computer nerd but ever since Wayne and I have been together [my family] dismisses what I know… I have a long rant about that but I’ll save it… Anyway, I explained that WiFi passwords and Windows login passwords are not connected, and I offer to research how to reset it without the recommended CD.

What do I find? Net user command. Awesome. One problem, though… my brother and all of my immediate family are not tech savvy or computer literate. It takes FOREVER to explain how to use a smart phone or the internet safely to them. I tried calling my brother to explain that this is similar to hacking and I can’t really teach him how to do it. His alternative? Offer us dinner and gas money to come down and fix both the wireless and the login problem.

Moral of the story: in lieu of learning a new skill that may advance your career, offer nachos to a nerd to get the job done. / When in doubt, nachos.

… Tumblr crashes and I lose all notes on my entries. I can’t see any reblogs or responses to any entries after my second page. :-\ Nice way of making bloggers look oblivious to commentary.

Blame the woman with the day locker above mine who placed her soggy swim gear or umbrella in [the locker] and soaked my jacket and gym bag below; or blame my gym for investing in poorly constructed lockers? Hmm, how about I split the stupidity between the two? I could get them matching necklaces with “stupi” and “dity” in the shape of half hearts. Aww, BFFF in dimwittedness. （＾◇＾）

My sister had her baby yesterday in the wee hours of the morning, but she hasn’t named him yet. This same dilemma occurred when she had Nicolas (baby #2) two years ago… If you have nine months to agree on a name between two parents, wouldn’t you want to have the name prepared before the ‘big day’? Her and her children’s father/boyfriend for the past 11 years/fiancé are torn between Austin and Chase, but yet again [they] can’t decide between the two and can’t figure out a middle name for either proposal. These are the same circumstances that left Nico with the middle name “Jay”….

I’ll visit after we move because, hopefully by then, Baby will actually have a legal name. I’ve already received the pics via texts with him and his brothers. Noah is like his daddy, Nico is like my sister, so I wonder if [insert name] will be an even blend of the two parents’ personalities.

How do you ruin “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go”?!?! It’s not that hard to perform - the vocals aren’t that hard. Jazz hands, bytches!!! Did anyone else feel like that was a bad primary school performance? No one is standing out like David Cook or Adam Lambert despite Siobhan’s scream she does not have the same presence as Lambert. I remember why I hate this show and I curse the other two seasons for having people worth watching.

At least Wayne and I got to rip on ANTM.
