I hate Instagram because it lets people deliberately destroy their already-limited phone camera photos with fake vintage filters. These are irreplaceable memories. They'll look vintage on their own in five years. Stop wrecking your photos for faux-nostalgia.
Olay's "Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod Anti-Aging Triple Response System" is just a cream that fills wrinkles with tiny balls. Every claim in the ad is nonsense: skin cells can't be "regenerated," eyes don't "radiate," and you don't need cream to massage your face. All cosmetics ads are like this. Where are the regulations?
I lost my Citibank ATM card and it's been a nightmare. Losing the card locks me out of online banking too, phone transfers aren't possible, and their "Global Executive Banking" program is useless outside US business hours. I'm closing this account as soon as humanly possible.
My dentist has now botched two fillings in three weeks, both requiring emergency root canals. The second woke me at 4am on a Sunday, sending me across London for expensive private treatment. I'm filing a formal complaint with the NHS. My teeth and my wallet are both in ruins.
Heard my first Christmas carol on August 10th. I am appalled. With Halloween no longer serving as a barrier, there's nothing stopping Christmas from creeping all the way back to Easter.
"Valentine's Season" is apparently a thing now. Bad enough that corporations turned an obscure saint's day into a commercial juggernaut, but now they're expanding it into a whole season? We need to stop this before it spreads further.
Boys suck. That is all.
Bars are loud, smoky, crowded hellholes with nowhere to sit. People tolerate them for cheap drinks, but I don't drink, so cheap drinks mean nothing to me. I'm done being nice about it. From now on, meet me at a cafe or a quiet restaurant, or don't meet me at all.
Christmas is a scam. The food, the gifts, the family bonding, the religious angle, the music -- all bullshit. Only small children enjoy it, and that's pure greed. I love it anyway, because it's gloriously camp and I get to visit my family somewhere warm.
Lost my coat to a pickpocket who somehow took it from right beside me, but inexplicably left my bag full of valuables. They even stole my passport photo name label but not the bag itself. I really liked that coat.
Been slack about updating, but here are five bookmarked gems: cheap domains, rediscovering Brian Aldiss's Helliconia series, a geek cookbook, my new Handspring Visor, and a Latin dictionary. Also: Windows XP is every bit as awful as I suspected, and I lost a month of email. Please resend.
