The stars shine in the deep sky

January 20, 2017:

1. 2NE1 breaks up and puts out their last song ever.
2. Donald becomes president.

Note to self: the sweetened carob chips may be $13/lb, but they probably don't taste like chalk!

Also, oat bran is not a particularly good substitute for wheat germ. Maybe half oat bran, half all-purpose flour next time?

Seriously.

The CW app is so bad that I'm going to watch live TV tonight because I think there will be less commercials that way.

Edit: Timed it for another show. A 42 minute episode took 53 minutes. I hate everything.

I, quite literally, cannot understand why anyone would vote for Donald Trump in the general election. Especially Republicans.

Likewise, I cannot wrap my head around people voting for third-party candidates this election. It's, like, do you not remember the 2000 election? Because I will tell you about the nightmarish hellhole that was the 2000 election. (Or you can watch Recount. Either or.)

When will I remember on a consistent basis that the amount of Sour Patch Kids it takes to murder my tongue is less than one entire package?

On one hand: Zero Time Dilemma comes out in three days and Amazon still hasn't put the correct release date on it, or given me a shipping notice.

On the other hand: I haven't finished replaying its prequel, so a delay would actually be kind of welcome...?

On one foot: But I'm hella worried, because I quite literally do not order video games from Amazon anymore. These are the fuckers that canceled my two orders of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition (one for me, one for my brother's birthday) after delaying shipping for three weeks, giving me a shipping date, stealth-canceling, putting the Special Editions back up for sale briefly, and then (after they had sold out) contacting me to tell me my orders had been canceled and here's $5 to make up for it. The only reason I didn't cancel this preorder from a year ago was because I am pretty lazy of the watches. (And it might be very late, but my brother is getting a Special video game, dammit! *shakes fist*)

On the other foot: OMG, the review scores are unbelievable. WANT. NOW.

That anxious feeling you you get when you return an item to Target through UPS, but when the clerk asks if you want tracking you reply automatically "no, thank you" and then step into the rain thinking why the fuck did I say that; if they lose this package I am boned, and then it's been more than a week and you're starting to worry that your packaging was the problem (did you really have to reuse their too-small box? maybe you should have taped the return barcode to the item rather than leaving it floating free?), which means you almost start crying in relief when you get the Return Processed & Refund Credited email at 1:48 a.m.

So I ordered a book from Amazon and, naturally, the dust jacket arrived a little torn. I've heard reports that this particular book has some prints that were bound incorrectly, so I checked the inside to see if this was a case where I definitely wanted to return it.

There was a booklet of Grumpy Cat stickers between the pages.

Are you trying to bribe me, Amazon Warehouse employee? (Because it might be working.)

Finally catch up on The Mindy Project, where the writers have decided that Danny is a mysogynistic, abusive asshole in the last 3 episodes despite 57 episodes where he was the charming yet prickly love interest: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

Finally catch up on The 100, where the writers have decided that Bellamy is dumber than a bag of rocks and would agree to killing people for no reason (a move that would endanger Clarke and Lincoln and HIS GODDAMN REASON FOR LIVING, OCTAVIA): (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

So, naturally, I dropped The Mindy Project. (Delinquents 5evar!)
