I did laundry today.
I tried to work on my tan, but doing it, you know, 30-40 minutes/day per side is slow going, so who knows if I'll ever be disenpastied.
Got harassed about trash again for no apparent reason.  If I hadn't made any effort to be a part of the community, and no one knew me, and I kept to myself and whatnot, and then deigned to put out unsorted trash, okay, I can see them being annoyed and treating me like this, but when I've tried to be a part of the community, I say hi to people whenever i see them, and most of the time all I get is glares and silence, and no one ever tells me about events going on, and I only randomly appear once in a while when I figure out, by chance, that there's an event.  I've tried, and they've shut me out. Apparently the only way to get them to talk to me is to put out unsorted trash, which has only served to make the few people who were halfassed friendly to me give me the cold shoulder.

FUCK YOUR DRACONIAN TRASH SORTING SYSTEM.
FUCK THIS TOWN
FUCK THIS JOB
FUCK YOU ALL.

Now please enjoy this bizarre game that happened at Sports Day one year.  Three kids hold a third up, and run to the end of the course. The kid who is held aloft then swings a rope with a weight and tries to knock a tin can off a desk. Lather rinse repeat.

To add further insult to the cruddy day today has been, I hopped in the shower for a shave. Now, a while back, I gave up 4-8 bladed razors that cost a whole bunch and, in a move that could only be seen as a rejection of fractal time and the Timewave, I returned to two bladed disposables.  The Gillette ones were giving me a much better shave than I'd had with the SUPARMULTIBLADE razors in forever, and it was good. This weekend, I ran out of disposable razors and shaving foam, so I went out to buy some.

They didn't have any Gillette ones at the store I went to, so I get BESTY EX disposables. They claim to have DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON STEEL, so how can it be bad? Also couldn't find shaving foam for some reason, so I got shaving gel.  This of course causes a problem because now I've changed two variables in my shaving routine, and when things SUCK ASS (and they do), I don't know which one is the problem.

The blade just gets stuck in the gel, doesn't cut the hairs, and instead, cuts me, so I bleed fucking everywhere. I haven't had this many cuts while shaving in... fuck, years.  For years, the only time I'd bleed during shaving is if I cut the top off a zit (yes yes, gross eww TMI, stfu and deal).  But now, these shitty things, i'm bleeding fucking everywhere.

I thought, "Oh, maybe I used too much gel. It's different from foam, after all." So this time, I tried less. SAME FUCKING RESULT.  But I don't know if it's the gel's fault, the razor's fault, or both.  At any rate, I've tossed the gel and the razors and will go hunting for proper shit tomororw.  Don't mind me, just hemorrhaging money in a month that's expensive and before a month that will be even expensiver. :(

... isn't really a secret, so much, but it is one that people often don't think of, and that I really should have known about.

Flickr's added this new feature, stats, so you can see referrers to your pics and whatnot.  You can figure out where your pics are linked very easily.  That's cool!

... what isn't cool is what I've learned from it.  All those pictures I take at work, of my students and whatnot? Yeah, they've mostly ended up on fetish sites.  Porn sites.  Pervo sites.  Sick fuck sites.

So I guess my task for tonight is to go through the stats with a fine-toothed comb and find all of the pics linked, and then fixing the privacy on them all.

Guys, hey guys! I have the most AWESOME video to show you. It's hilarious. I laughed soooooo hard watching it. I'm still giggling about it periodically now.

Problem though: I can't upload it to Vox.  Vox has decided to do THAT THING that it does again.  Last time it was with mp3s, this time it's with videos apparently.  I'll upload them, and then they'll be like NO WHAT NO THAT FILE CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.  Or I'll upload, it will accept the video, and then it will give the "This video is still being processed" message on the page for it... FOR FUCKING EVER.  And I'm not exaggerating. I'm not having a hissy fit because processing took 10 minutes instead of being instantaneous.  I uploaded a video two fucking weeks ago, and it's still "being processed". Fuck off.

Tonight, I uploaded two videos. They both appeared to be fine, but then sat at 'being processed' for hours, and I knew what had fucking happened. I decided I'd try it again, so I deleted them both and tried to upload again.  "We cannot accept this file" Vox says. Why? It doesn't say.

I'd address this in a support mail, but I'm 100% certain I'd get the same useless answer I got when I asked about the similar problem I was having with certain mp3s, ie, "Make sure your files conform to our recommended formats guidelines ^_^".  HI. (1) THEY DO, (2) THEY'RE THE SAME FORMAT ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS THAT HAVE WORKED ARE IN, SO CLEARLY THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

So yeah, I have the most fucking hilarious video to show you guys, if Vox ever stops dicking the dog.

And yes, I realize I'm being unnecessarily harsh.  Don't take it personally, any vox-staff who may read this.  It's just ridiculously frustrating, you see.

I hate the new people upstairs.

They move in, decide that their apartment isn't enough space, and so use the corridor outside their apartment as storage, including for their food-garbage, which stinks up the entire hall, and since the door on my apartment doesn't have a proper seal, my apartment; they have a balcony on which to have barbeques and dry clothes and shit but that's apparently not good enough for them, so they've decided that they also have sole-access to the roof -- I don't have a balcony so I should have roof access but noooo; my internet dropped to 1/3rd of it's normal speed, which in turn broke my tv-through-dsl, when they moved in -- not a coincidence; they keep the door to the roof open all the time and keep the light in the hall on all the time -- besides shining right into my bedroom because there's a window in my door (there's not in theirs) it also attracts moths which then congregate in the corridor outside my apartment, not theirs.  They clomp around like fucking elephants and have at least one kid that cries from the time I wake up in the morning until almost the time I go to bed at night.  Whenever I cheerfully greet them, they just give me the "OMG, A FOREIGNER, I AM TARO'S PROVERBIAL DEER-In-THE-HEADLIGhTS" look.

They're just fucking rude and inconsiderate.  Am I expecting too much to expect someone who moves into a building which has had only one resident up until that time to knock on that resident's door and say, "Hi, we're new.  We have a kid who may be loud, but we'll do our best to keep it quiet, please understand. We'll be using the roof, do you ever go up there? Oh you do, okay, that's cool, we'll make sure to share it.  Well it was good meeting you, let's be good neighbours. ^_^" ?  I really don't think I'm out of line expecting these things.

and it's super fucking loud
and people with shitty cars that sound like they're going to blow the fucking engine, when they're really just coasting gently backwards

Seriously, if I had known the neighbourhood was going go to shit like this, I wouldn't have stayed for a 4th year, or I would have demanded they move me to a different apartment, and pay my fucking key money.

I'm gonna try not to heat at all this winter, so that the fucks upstairs don't get to benefit from my heating efforts, which they would, since there's no insulation, and it'd just float up and warm their floors. Fuck them.
