Bacon pie.
Brett is back! He came home last night, and then worked a half day today, and he's home again for the weekend. Yay! ♥
On his way home today, he stopped at Costco for groceries, Taco Bell for himself, and McDonald's for me. My energy has been reeeally dragging today, so I tried eating a big huge green salad with olives and tofu and basil and a nice homemade vinaigrette for brunch, thinking that the protein and veg would pep me up, but it did not. Proper nutrition = FAIL.
Then I tried drinking a bunch of water, thinking that maybe if I just shocked my system with sort of the inside equivalent of a cold shower, THAT would pep me up. Proper hydration = FAIL.
Moving around = FAIL.
Lying on the couch and watching two hours of
Shear Genius = (obvious) FAIL.
By 1 pm, I was lying face-down on the couch with my eyes closed. So I decided to go in a different direction, and called Brett, who was running errands, and asked him to pick me up some McDonald's. I got: a diet coke (for caffeine), apple pies (for carbs, fat, and a nice healthy dose of hfcs), and a chicken sammie (because I figured, you know...I might as well just go all the way).
And you know what? I feel better. This high may end with a crashing low in a few hours, but for right now I feel pretty good. Here's the weird thing though - I ate my chicken sammie first, and it pretty much just tasted like mayonnaise and breading. No shocker there. But my diet coke and the one apple pie I've eaten so far (why do they come in twos??? So stupid) have both had, I swear to God, a subtle hint of bacon in their flavoring.
At first I was like, "well, maybe someone didn't clean off the fryer before they cooked the apple pie. But WTF? I'm pretty sure they just microwave that shit inside its paper box; I doubt it ever actually touches human hands until I'm shoving it into my fat face. But maybe they also microwave their bacon, and they had just done that when they decided to heat up my pie? Idfk. It's a mystery. But how the hell does my COKE taste like bacon??? How does that HAPPEN??? Anyone? Don't tell me if you know the answer, but you think I might not want to hear it. Wait, no...tell me. Wait, no don't.
And on a completely unrelated note: what do you think of teh new Faceboks? (OH! My stomach is starting to hurt. McDonald's, I'm looking at you!) It took me a few hours to get used to using the new layout, but now I love it. I think it's sooo much better. And anyone who is pissed that they didn't make it more customizable with different color choices and all that can kiss my ass. MySpace is fugly. If FB ever becomes as fugly as MySpace, I won't use it anymore. There are, however, some things that I do NOT care for:
1) I can't for the life of me figure out what happened to my ability to import data from other websites into my mini feed (you know - Flickr, Digg, YouTube, etc?). I know I have at least one Stumble and one faved YouTube vid that should've shown up, but they haven't and I can't find the options to add/delete/update my acct info. If they really did get rid of the import option, that's so fuxed. They're retarded if they think it won't be missed. At least by me. And I'm important, dammit!!! Does anyone know if they plan to add it back in, or if it's just in some weird place that I haven't found yet?
2) They have a nice little spot under my profile image for me to "write something about" myself, but it's text only. All I wanted to do was add hyperlinks to a few other sites that I go to (just like on my profiles for
Flickr,
Last.fm, etc), but I couldn't even use <a href="...>. Hell, I couldn't even use [url]!!! Facebook, that is G-H-E-T-T-O. Fuckin' weak. And if I let them display my urls FOR me, you know, in my "website" section? They display the whooole thing, http and all. Which is ugly, so I keep it hidden. Much like Hugo Simpson. But there will be no bucket of fish heads for my website section, because it doesn't deserve them. I will let it starve until it learns to be a pretty girl.
3) Ew...my diet bacon Coke is sweating a big wet ring onto my desk. I should really finish it. Or get a coaster. I'll just finish it. Anyway, like I was saying...
3) You used to be able to add all kinds of cute shit to the bottom of fb comments, like Free Gifts, Green Gifts, you know, the type of ghey shit someone like me would (and did) add to like, a good 25% of their comments. What can I say? I like adding a birthday cake image to the bottom of a "Happy Birthday!" comment. Or a picture of a bikini to the bottom of a comment that includes a story about a sunburn. Today I went to add a four-leafed clover to the bottom of a comment for someone in the middle of a job hunt, and found that my only option was to add one of FB's "Gifts." Lame. FB CHARGES for their gifts. I never use them. Unless the are the free sponsored gifts that pop up once in a blue moon. I want to add Free Gifts and Green Gifts to my comments, gd it!!! Bring them back!!! :/
That's really it, though. Oh, I also hate that my photo section is so prominently displayed, since I usually just use flickr. But that's all I can think of for now. Even with the shitty stuff that they still need to work on though, I still like the new layout better. So good job, FB staff! You're like, 99% there.
This post is longer than I intended it to be. But oh! FYI (if you're one of the people who was still wondering) - Mordechai is home safe. So is Star (she got out too, later). And Mordechai got out AGIAN last night, and came home again this morning. Bastards. Wanting to get out and enjoy the world. Can you IMAGINE??? How rude! (
Aaron, I totally think of FH every time I say "How rude!")
But, IF you were one of the people still wondering if Mordechai had yet been found, you could always check my FB status. 'Cause I updated it as soon as I found him.
Or, if you're not my FB friend yet (I'm looking at you, old people and fb boycotters), you could check my feed on
Iminta. I have to manually update my fb status there, which sucks (I'm looking at you, Aaron Newton), and the time stamp on MOST of the shit that shows up in my Iminta feed is waaay off (and the amount of time that it's off varies from site to site, which also sucks), but it DOES show my activity on each site in order, which is the most important thing. So like, my Last.fm playlist info might show up after my FB status update, when in fact it was played BEFORE, but FB status update #343 will always show up after FB status update #342, which is good. I really like Iminta, and I want it to be good, and I want it to be popular. I think FriendFeed is ugly and stupid. There ARE other lifestream blogging options out there, but honestly none that I like as much as Iminta. So far.
Okay, now this post is reeeally too long. Kudos to you if you get this far. I'm going to watch some Bones and maybe play some sort of FB game until
Brett gets off the phone with his birthday twinnie and makes me do something productive. Cross your fingers for me that they talk for a few hours, k? :)
