That Moment...

That moment when you get invited to a weekend away with friends... but you don't really want to go. I mean, I like them, we're not like super close or anything, but ya know, they're fine. The truth is I'd much rather spend that weekend with my family then going with them (and all their boyfriends, yay for being single), but if I'd say that they'll think I'm crazy.
I don't know what to do. I suppose we'd have a good time, but another factor is that I'd have to pay 70 euros too.

Aaaah social life.

 

Social life is pretty fun at times.

TMW . . .

You brainstorm your story out loud, turn around and your pets are looking at you like you've just completely lost your mind.

 

TMW you hit the 700 post mark on your blog. Whoops...

 

TMW the manager says - app looks really functional, can you make it look good?

Me: Coz like. Apps used for testing fuel lines need to look like a website, right.
Him: Well the functionality is spot on, but for sales and demos and marketing....
Me: *wilting* let me put something together and shoot it through to you?

TMW you start mucking around with some ideas and think - heyyyy yeah this looks kinda cool after all...

 

That moment you wish there was an app that told you were you could get the cheapest taco.

 

TMW Word refuses to accept "woah" as a real word.

 

Highlight, right click and put ignore all.

 

TMW you are mocking up a new UI for the app and include some dummy incident reports, one of which is randomly named "Bunbury Infermo".
TMW the manager replies with "that's a little too close to the truth, this happened just up the road from Bunbury" and includes the following video in his email.

(Keep watching till ~0:50 in)

 

Guess Word didn't like The Matrix.

 

That moment someone says they came to see you and you don't remember them being here.

 

That moment when you wonder if the "one to one-half increase in satisfying sexual events per month" effect of flibanserin could be replicated with a single dose of methylphenidate.

It might actually do the opposite in some cases, but we're not looking at anything particularly amazing with the other drug either.

 

TMW you make an exception and go into work on writing day to do a 30 minute appointment for your very best client, and two hours later you're still at work.

 

That's why I don't work.

 

I wish I had that option! Damn kids.

 

Yeah I get the Depo shot, and it helps me to not have kids, and it makes my family jewels shrivel to pearls.

 

TMW...you decide, ‘To hell with it, I'm just gonna go draw my fantasy as a graphic novel . . . on MS Paint.’

I've gone crazy in the head haven't I?

 

TMW you go to a bar and some random guy keeps saying, "Hey, I'm going to take responsibility for you tonight so you'll stay safe. So I'm going to be touching you a lot."

And no matter how many times you tell him to leave you alone, he refuses. You're a little worried that he's going to follow you to your car and make more sinister advancements, but then the bartender and the manager take notice, ask if he's making you feel uncomfortable, and kick him out when you say that he is.

 

TMW blogging feels harder than writing fiction for some reason.

 

I didn't get refunded my door charge either. Thanks a whole-f'n lot.

 

Is it Duck Tales?

 

TMW you are reading through a forum post and now cannot get the theme song from 'Duck Tales' out of your head...

 

No.

It's Dora the Explorer. The 'let's travel' song. How did I know this? I was flipping through the channels one day looking for a decent show to watch until I found this. ‘What the fuck am I looking at?’ I asked. Through sheer morbid curiosity, I watched half of that episode before I thought I heard my brain begging me for mercy, begging me to switch to any other channel but this one!! So I turned it off to go watch Youtube videos of Goku and Vegeta fighting each other to loud rock music.

That infernal song is locked in my head because my brain likes to record everything and keep it. Especially interesting/absurd things. Rarely, though, does that damn song pop into my head, and when it does, I hate it. I now know why the phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’ exists. >:[ And now, thanks to you, it's back again.

 

Do you ever wish you could have sat in on some of the meetings where they discussed the songs for the show:

"Whoa. Dude, I got it. You know when they need the map? I have the most PERFECT song for that... I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map... I'M THE MAP!"

"Omg dude. That is brilliant..."

 

Yeah, who green-lit that? Honestly, the show is insulting to four year olds. I think at that point, they have a vague concept of what a map is without needing to be sung to by a cartoon map about what it is, and I'm pretty sure they know where and what a bridge is when they see one.

I suspect everyone involved in the creation of that show honestly believed the target audience were brain-dead newts.

 

TMW a dinosaur explains a trope.
