I ate an entire party-size bag of Doritos all by myself today. The shame is very real. I also told myself that I'd do nothing but work today, and I ended up mostly playing Fallout and Kerbal Space Program and telling myself I'd get to work in a minute.

Chrome now forces DirectWrite. This is not a good thing!





Seriously; I don't know if it's just my computer, but DirectWrite looks like absolute garbage.

It's like somebody downscaled and then upscaled it again. I'd be irritated if my text look like that.

Just had a serious talk with my mother about a genetic condition she has and which I should get tested for. It's caused by a dominant gene (or whatever the correct term is), so inheriting it isn't unlikely. Luckily, it's not of the life-ruining variety of genetic conditions (in fact it has a plus side), so I'm not too worried, but I thought I'd get this off my chest.

Unlikely to be inherited would be recessive, not dominant.

so inheriting it isn't unlikely.

I actually misread the post in the exact same way, at first.

I have half of my mouth covered in canker sores and I can barely talk >:

Ouch. Is there any soothing cream you could use?

Yargh I am tired. Still. I need to do a load of laundry and "tidy" my room (or rather, just shove everything into a corner) to make room for a desk I bought today, but I don't really have the energy. Heck, I'm feeling too tired to even walk over and get my earphones from my bag. I thought I'd had enough sleep to be less tired today, but I guess not.

Maybe I need a nap.

Maybe I need some energy drink.

I have finally come to the conclusion that caffeine has no effect on me, and that there is no stopgap for sleep deprivation.

Went to buy a shirt I'd wanted for a long time and lacked the funds for, only to discover it sold out.
I really wanted one of those.

Mass Effect 3 is on sale, and I'm annoyed that I have to download Origin to play it. Why can't it just be on Steam dammit?!

It's even a worse deal that the Steam games; 1 and 2 are 75% off on Steam, where 3 is only 50% off on Origin.

I was actually debating mentioning that, but it's not sad material, mild or otherwise - my mum got me a topical painkiller, and it's a really funny, tingly feeling, like mint on steroids.

I don't know if I have it, since I haven't gone to the test yet, but it's congenital thrombophilia. Which type it is didn't come up in the talk. The condition causes blood to (start to) coagulate faster than average, which greatly increases the risk of thrombosis later in the life, but has the upside of closing wounds faster.

Well, at least you didn't get its opposite and then bleed to death from papercuts.
