    Get writing. It's got to be better than watching wallpaper self-peel.

    Song we sang at the end of every year in primary school to serenade the leaving Year 6s: And I can't wait to live on Coke and pizza...

    Me: Silly song, you can't live on Coke and pizza.

    ~10 years later~

    Me: *Lives on Coke and pizza*

    Not even sure if this should go here or in the Happiness Thread.

    Only for a brief period of your adult life, then your digestive system tries to revenge kill you and its back to eating like your parents tried to force feed you when you were a kid.

    Have to be in the mood to write, and I'm in the mood for nothing lately. I mainly do poetry, and I can't force those, cos they always turn out wrong.
    Also, I don't have wallpaper. :p

    I didn't specify it had to be your house. Choose a house at random, a random house that's currently unoccupied in your neighbourhood because they're taking a well-earned holiday someplace not at their home. As I said, random. Break in and redecorate! It's good for the soul and it's a great yarn to spin the judge.

    You do know that Charles Manson had his followers do just that?

    I've got my eye on you...

    I don't think you've got much to worry about in that department. I asked my dog how charismatic I am and got no reply. That's because he wasn't around — he avoids me like the plague. If I enter a room, he leaves if he can be bothered. Otherwise, he ignores me. If I take him for a walk, he latches onto passers by and begs with those cute puppy-dog eyes that older dogs do so well to be taken home by them, freed from the torment of spending one interminable more second with me.

    He's a great reminder of why I never went into politics or why I will not be the next charismatic leader after Mr Manson!

    I think it's an indication that I never left childhood that I'm extremely jealous of these.

    Now I'm really creeped out. The place where I was trying to get delivery from the other night but couldn't because there were no Postmates drivers in the area--a Third World Whinge if ever there was one--was where Sharon Tate had her last meal. (El Coyote.) I've never bothered to Google to see what her last meal was because it's too creepy, but I know the info is out there because people go there and order it.

    Feature creep, especially in electronic devices. If I ever buy another new car, I suspect I'll have trouble finding one without a touch screen on the dashboard. Knobs and buttons worked fine. Smartphones? I read that over 90% of downloaded apps are used exactly once. I doubt if I'm much different from most people in the way I use a microwave oven: set the time and push the Start button. All that other stuff is useless.

    I got a sales call from a cut rate car insurance company today, in spite of my phone number being on the FTCs national no call list, offering to sell me auto insurance for $140 per month. The woman on the phone was quite pushy, so I kept saying I had to go tend to something- someone at the door, something on the stove, the dog getting into the gabage- until I felt I had wasted as much of her time as she was wasting of mine. Then I asked her why should I pay them $140/ month when I already have insurance from one of the top real insurance companies for $320/ year.

    I just had to replace the batteries in the remote control for my toilet seat.

    Also, out of milk. The store is just across the street, but I'll need to put on pants to go there.

    Ebay says the last toy car part I can't afford, for a half-formed project I can't afford and don't have time to build, that I would have nowhere to keep in my mess of a hobby room, and probably wouldn't drive more than once because my ideas always look better on paper than they perform on the street, has sold out.

    Also, insomnia.
