On disappearing data

Come back, review draft!
I am a slack updater
without failing tech.

I went to post a book review that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, and it has disappeared without a trace. Guess that's what I use for using outlook to draft reviews. Cryface ;_;

On admitting I have a problem

iPhone addiction
I must overcome. Oh, wait
There's an App for that.


Confession: I didn't come up with this one, but it definitely applies to me.

On Pining for Real Cream

Non-dairy creamer;
Powder’d heathen substitute
Why taste you so bad?

Coffee profaneth;
Shopping negligence punished -
You make me so sad.

On you sick fuckers

Confined to my bed
Wallowing in self-pity
Won't share drinks again.

On Poor Publication Practices

Publishers should not
Deceive unwitting readers.
Number your series!

This weekend I started a book that turned out to be second in a series. Nowhere on the book did it say “book two” or “sequel.” I’ve noticed this trend a lot lately (ex: “A Harry Dresden Novel” instead of “Book 4 of Harry Dresden”). There aren’t words for how annoyed this makes me. Rawr!

On Cheap Furniture

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
My back really hurts today
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Mart of Darkness

Clothes shopping trials.
Hours spent in vain to fit
Awkward proportions.

My only options:
Have Three-quarter length sleeves or
Voluminous cloth.

-----
Last night I bounced between countless outlets, malls, shops, over the course of about four hours trying to find a coat. One that would fit. And would be in my size. I did not believe at the outset that it would be the tribulation that was soon upon me. At the very end of the night, however, I finally happened upon one that I liked and also fit. Sometimes it sucks to be a skinny, long limbed, boy.

(Open Item: Why does the 38 have shorter sleeves than the 36?? It makes no sense.)
