Twice in as many days, I have noticed a speck hovering in front of my face, focused in on it, and realized that a spider was dangling from my glasses. I haven't the foggiest where they've come from or what they want.

They must be living in your hair. Or maybe your ears.

Just don't go eat little German girls plox.

I'd like to believe that, as it would be easy to deal with. But no, hair is too clean and well-kept, and they only ever show up on my glasses (or, for a brief time, the brim of my cap, before that one swung at my face like a special forces operator). Both showed up at the same place, so I'm somewhat hesitant to open the ceiling tiles above my computer...

Got a bill in the mail. Apparently I owe four cents worth of interest on my credit card. Despite having completely paid it off at the end of Summer.

Where did the interest come from?

The invisible hand of capitalism, presumably.

Probably what happened is that your payment didn't clear until just after the start of the billing cycle, so you got charged just a tiny bit of interest before you wiped out the balance. Happened to me once.

[Bouchart]

If you call to complain they'll cancel the balance.

[RedWarrior0]

Probably because it'll cost more than 5 cents to process. So if you want to stick it to The Man, you've gotta pay that bill.

I'm suddenly getting ads everywhere, and I don't know from where. It has to be something someone downloaded, but I have no idea what it is. Dammit, this is why you don't download random shit people.

Edit: Got the little bastard. It was hiding in Program Files. Now to scan and make sure nothing else got through.

I was asked tonight to 'help' a friend.

Spoiler: ehh (click to show/hide)

My marine friend in the oasis has an air force buddy.  He is 'puttin' it on the pedestal', and it is a large woman.  He offered me $50, $100, and $100 plus any liquor bottle of my choice if I would seduce her, prove to his friend she is not faithful, and confront him+her together, possibly taking a punch to the jaw (though not necessarily from him, if you know what I mean).  Sad, considering I don't advertise my personal life any more; he only knows what I used to be like . . .

My mother finally decided to check my brother's grades (and mine, but I have straight As so it's not really an issue). Apparently, my delinquent younger brother has fourteen zero grades between all his classes. My parents are now grounding him until he makes up every single one of them.

He is not happy about this. Fortunately, the plurality of these missing assignments require a computer. So instead of actually doing work, he watches morons on YouTube. I go in there and notice this, and, being an evil brother, rat him out. Now he's trying to jump me. I guess I'm learning an important lesson should I ever go into organized crime.

Only fourteen? Hah.

The three years of high school I went to, I turned in, oh, about 4 homework assignments. Yet I maintained a B average with a around-100% test and classwork average. Something tells me that he might not have that safety net...

He doesn't. I myself have five or six zeroes on physics homework - but since homework only counts for 10% of your grade, and the tests have hilariously large curves, I still have a 112% in the class.

He currently has three Bs, one C, and one A. Above 'average' but not to either the standards I've set or my parents' already honorary-Asian status.

EDIT: I memorized his gradeviewer account password, so I can stalk his grades personally. Let's see... Spanish 1, the easiest foreign-language class at the school... B-, almost a C+. Grades indicate he's learning jack shit about Spanish. Figures. He's barely fluent in English.

Tried to start minecraft about two hours ago. Jack-shit happened for several minutes, so I just closed the launcher. Suddenly, in the middle of my flight to Jool in KSP, Minecraft pops up, ready to go. What in gods name was it doing for TWO HOURS and why couldn't I find it in my processes tab!?
