force quit

my firefox froze up so i went to force quit it, but for some reason i accidentally force quit final cut instead, which contained a project i'd been working on for five hours and hadn't saved since i started it.

UPDATE: thank god for autosave! but that doesn't absolve my force quitting mistake. the icons aren't even anywhere near one other on my dock.

container

i had some leftover rice n' beans in a gladware container and turned it upside down to see if it was microwavable, but i did this after taking the lid off, so the entirety of the contents immediately splattered on the ground. the punchline: the product is called Gladware Microwavables, which is boldly stated on the lid.

computer bug

a termite was in my room and landed right at the bottom of my laptop screen, and since my computer is right under a ceiling fan, it was unable to fly away. i watched it for a bit, and thought how it would be funny if it went down into the space between the screen hinge and the computer itself. then it did, and i realized that the vent into the computer was right there. but when i tried to get the bug out of that space by blowing at it, i ended up just pushing it right into the vent.

this may be the last mistake i am able to blog about.

the lists

i have a lot shit to do today, so i was going to actually make a to-do list, but i thought it would take too much time, so i started to do other things instead, and i've done like 4 things from the list without ever having the list, but i still have to make the list so i can cross those things off it, but making the list is pretty low in my list of priorities right now. but still, i might get around to actually making it after i go to the grocery store, which i'm going to do without a list as well.

UPDATE:

list of things i bought at the store that i already have unopened packages of:
  • cheese
  • bacon
  • rice
  • whiskey
  • peanut butter
list of things i didn't buy that i don't have at home:
  • butter
  • soap
  • trash bags
  • a trash can
  • toilet paper
  • utensils (except for a bag of large knives)

old food

i don't have gas in my place, and yet i bought groceries a couple weeks ago. now everything has gone past its expiration date, even though i barely opened anything, due to fear of it going bad before i could cook it.

also i neglected to buy anything microwavable (the one amenity my place came with), except for bread, which i thought you could microwave, but you definitely cannot.

lost key

last night at 4 in the morning i realized i had either locked my car key in my car or lost it while scaling the wall i parked next to. i was supposed to work the next day as a delivery driver. also there were two purses left in my car (for safe keeping).

luckily the tow guy i called to unlock my car was far less tipsy than I, and found the key in the grass about 15 feet away.

staple fixer

while fixing a stapler i pushed the staple-bank back into place with my palm against the slot where the staples come out and, of course, i stapled right into my hand.

blurry drive

my eyes went blurry while i was driving last night, and i fixed the problem by rubbing both of them, at the same time, while going about 25 mph.

i was also kind of drunk.

mug crash

i tried to kill a spider dangling in the kitchen by smashing it between two coffee mugs, and both mugs shattered. the spider survived.
