Get this, right? So I'm driving to the pharmacy about a month or so back - bear in mind I lived in the ghetto, so I'm accustomed to the occasional oddity. Anyhoo, I'm stuck in line for a traffic light when I hear these kickass speakers comin'  up on my left blasting rap music.

Initially I thought someone was tryna cut; maybe having a bad day and all? Naw, instead I see this 60-year-old black dude on a motorized chair comin' up the sidewalk, bags slung under the armrests, with this giant rear-facing boombox right under his seat. And I'm just sittin' there like "Oh. My. God. That's awesome."

Coincidentally, I saw the same dude two years back, going the wrong way up a one-way street while blasting Wu-Tang Clan. The gal in front of me turned around and said "Shoulda gotten that Snap, doe!", which pretty much made my day.

They were both easily two of the most remarkable and memorable moments of my college career. Regardless of how tough this past semester was, I'm glad I got to see him one more time. ^^

I've always had a habit of envisioning myself in social situations when I'm bored, be it by placing myself at some high-class swing dance club, or imagining conversations between me and the characters from anime I've watched. Today, after reading another chapter of The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up (wherein one Chiaki Suzuki asks a "cleaning expert" to help her with her apartment), this little exchange occurred while folding my boxers:

Me: "Which one's the front... Hm, guess it doesn't matter. But, for posterior's sake, I wanna do it the right way!" (｀･ω･)9
KonMari: "Don't you mean posterity's sake?" (＾▽＾´)

I just discovered that my flatmate was posting fucked up comments on articles I write for a site.

Comments ranged from general hate on quality to telling me to kill myself.

Site owner went to ban the IP but realised it was the same IP as mine, then asked if I knew the email address associated with the comments (which was literally his name).

So, what weird stuff has happened to you lately?

wtf. What kind of articles do you write? also this might be due to jealousy?

Someone left a door ajar when they went out for lunch, so I decided to go poking around a laser laboratory. One thing that stuck out the most, was a box for PowerPuff Girls-themed children's sneakers stowed on a shelf near their current experiment. The sneakers were gone; it was filled with a buncha old papers; but its pristine condition hinted at a particular sentimental value in the presence of that little box.

Went out to the local big-box for somethin'; turns out they've got little webcams in the self-checkout lines, and let you know by providing a live video feed on a tiny screen mounted in front of you. Now I don't appreciate being watched, but the camera was of astonishingly good quality, so I'd go on to spend the better part of five minutes checking myself out and making funny faces.

There was a cashier gal watching the lines as I was doing this. I didn't get a good look at her, but I can only hope she'll tell her friends about it later.

Corsair stopped responding to my messages, didn't even acknowledge that they received my broken PSU.
Today, a new PSU arrived out of the blue.

Eh. Can't complain, amirite?

The guy sitting a row ahead of me in the testing room was wearing a full-camo suit, complete with synthetic leaves. He seemed pretty laidback.
