Give over already.

Things I have learned this morning (inspired by [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma):

- When your smoke alarm goes off at 6:30 in the morning, and there is nothing actually on fucking fire and the alarm won't fucking shut up (after you press the stupid buttons and stick the fan underneath it), you will cut the hardwires after 30 minutes of standing on a chair in a tee shirt.

- When you are tired, you do not care how you look at work.

- Gmail sucks ASS. Guys, why did we sign up for this again? Oh, right because our hotmail accounts were being used to send out virii. Huh. Some tradeoff.

- When life is sucky, go icon shopping. Hats off to all the fine artists at [livejournal.com profile] hp_icons, [livejournal.com profile] oc_icons, [livejournal.com profile] titans_together, [livejournal.com profile] alias_icons* and [livejournal.com profile] _tmicons

Note: Alias people where the fuck are all the Will icons, huh? What about the Sark ones? Why is it like this?!

*pets you*

Though that is a wicked cool sexy image of you in the t-shirt, on a chair, cutting wires. Dangerious, mind you, but sexaaaay.

*laughs*

I'm standing on this chair, holding this scissors like, "I *know* this a bad idea, but it's either me or this damn alarm." Also, look! *points at icon*

Awwwwwwwwwwww! WOOBIE FLASH!!!!

You cut the wires with scissors?? Oh, man. At least you would've looked sexy in that bride of Frankenstein way for the paramedics, if that had all gone wrong.

Aw, what's wrong with Gmail? Now I'm all nervous about having signed up for it.

That sucks about your smoke alarm. I'd have been going at the damn thing with a hammer.

Nothing's wrong with it, if you don't mind it not working 33% of the time and giving you stupid error messages another 33%.

Believe it or not, I was trying not to wake up the neighbors.

Weird. It's never given me an error message. I'm sure it will now, however.

My Gmail loves me. Once I got a browser that works with it, it started working perfectly. I don't like the threading, but that's a design 'flaw.'

I realize it's ridiculously unsafe, but every place I have ever lived has somehow eventually ended up with no working smoke detectors. The batteries mysteriously go missing.

That's what I was trying to do, but I couldn't get the fucking thing to come apart. I was desperate, dude.

Number of smoke alarms in lar's apartment: 3
Number of smoke alarms what have gone off at 3 AM and had me scrambling for a chair to take them apart: 3
Number what have remained battery-less ever since: 3

Gmail does indeed suck ass. It likes to hold my mail hostage and then give me that faux-cutesy "Oops! We can't quite get our head out of our ass at the moment. Try again soon. KTHNXBI!" message when I hit refresh.

Mmmm, iconses.

That's all.

It was cute the first time, however, this is time number 613, not so with the cute anymore. Also, icons, yay -- but [livejournal.com profile] obsessedmuch icons? Super yay! ;)

Gmail doesn't like anybody. Obviously that's why it's never up and working.

Smoke Alarms -

Thank God we've got a smoke detector with removable batteries, because it starts wailing every time we put something in the toaster - before we've even started the damn thing. So our smoke detector remains battery-free during the day, and we have to climb on a chair to put them back in at all hours of the night, regardless of drunkenness, sleepiness or states of undress.
It only gets confusing when we get visitors who don't know about it and want to leave the house without waking us up early in the morning... have fun with your smoke detector!
