Of the day's annoyances, these...
Nov. 15th, 2005 08:32 am1) Latency on the lab servers is getting to the point where it's affecting the accuracy of my engineering simulations. Whoever's using the lab servers to host your multiplayer Counterstrike games, I will find you and superglue your thumbs to your own ass.
2) Latest attempts at scrambled eggs were unspectacular, but not a disaster. Will stick to fruit and oatmeal. I have not yet burned oatmeal.
3) Humidity is making my arm itch. Need to devise a barometric/hygrometric compensator.
4) Purple hair on my socks, Catseye! Shed on Kyle's side of the room, dammit!
5) Stupid winter cold making my sinuses feel like a thirty pound weight embedded in the middle of my face. Maybe someone needs to look into mutant-strength antihistamines.

3. I know what barometric is. What's hygro? I know hydro. And no, I don't feel like looking it up. Dictionary's on the other side of the room where all the purple cat hair is.
4. See #3. Ha-HA! Invent a robot vacuum. Or use the one -in our closet-.
5. Dude, this is gonna sound totally wacked, but go mix some lemon juice in water, and snort it up your nose. My grandmom gets me to do that... well, got me to do that. I don't get colds anymore. Feels fucked up, and you smell lemons for hours but totally cleans everything out. Whoosh.
6. Dude. Help me out here with the DVD player? I'm supposed to do a compare/contrast on classic lit vs a modern version and I can't get this stupid Knight's Tale DVD to work.

4 - I tell you, between the humidity and the cat hair and the static electricity from winter blankets, it's like trying to sleep in a scrap metal heap.
5 - Water up my nose? Nuh-UH! I am not a fish! I am an oxygen-breathing mammal!
6 - It's probably wired for those weird Japanese import DVDs Shiro likes to watch. Need to install an anti-region coding chip or something...
