Successfully argued with a property manager until she caved and let us do the things our paperwork said we'd done before signing instead of after. Possibly saved us some grief since it turned out the refrigerator had a broken shelf and the kitchen has an ant problem already. My name is not yet on a contract stating that I've verified the property is totally free of insects. Was super close to writing about this in "Joys", but then the fact that this was only possible after investing a significant amount of energy and anger, plus taking several hours off work, just makes me really sad. Guess it's a mixed bag.

Guy at the bar to his friend (at high volume, possibly directed at my all-female group, the only such one in the bar): "Man, this town fucking sucks. All the girls here are complete hos, and the ones who have a bit of class are all stuck up bitches."

I suspect he might find women less stuck up if he didn't call them bitches and hos. It would probably also help to not be wearing  a Confederate flag tank top.

Best advice I've ever been given for tackling an overwhelming writing project: ten sentences a day. Just make yourself write ten sentences a day. It sounds so supremely feasible that it's impossible to psych yourself out over it, and those ten sentences (~half a page) add up. Thanks, advice-giving friend, you broke me out of my days-long cycle of stare-at-blank-page-and-have-panic-attack.

I layed down in my bed to rest my eyes, but then I fell asleep and was rudely awakened by the earth. Uh, rude.

Came back from supermarket for energy drink run and was just in time to see the aftermath of a driveby shooting with a dude bleeding out on the ground. Police came in within a few moments and shut off the road so I politely buzzed off. Looking it up later and turns it was done with an automatic gun (Dutch press knows even less about gun terminology).

Had me a bit frazzled, but turns out this is not that uncommon especially concerning drug nonsense and we have about one shooting incident in the municipality a year. Weird how this isn't making me more frightened but instead calms me down.

Sorry if I got anyone concerned about my (mental) well-being, but I chronically work to consider everything blasé and biking past the place a day later didn't really bring about any new emotions at all, so I'm fine. Backstory to the murder (dude died in the hospital) is fascinating, since apparently the guy had been the target of two other attacks beforehand (one which targeted someone who really looked like him). Police are clueless as to the possible perps, guy was pretty monied apparently so white collar crime seems more likely than my initial drug guess.

I went to my local office supplies shop today, and they to my amazement they were actually playing a song I really like. I don't think that's happened to me while shopping in years. Can they teach my supermarket how to do that?

Wondering why I hadn't seen any updates from a particular Facebook friend in months. Realized I unfollowed him in December so I wouldn't get spoiled for Star Wars since I knew he'd post about it, and forgot to follow him again. Oops.

This is always good for a laugh and a cry (the wording and political implications, not the dude with the badbrains): http://sftn.tumblr.com/post/146214248743 (warning: contains the sort of cringey second-wave nonsense that completely recycles gender essentialism under the banner of liberation)

The sort of mindset the dude displays is horrifying because it's so defeatist and powerless, and therefore politically useless. "Let me analyze the thousands of ways all actions I take can be constructed as fragility/entitlement/control issues/etcetera." Who wins any hearts with that?

Hey, brain! I know we're usually wearing a messenger bag on the moped, and that strap feels like a seatbelt, but it isn't one! When I ride the moped without the bag, there is just no need to keep sending me "YOU FORGOT YOUR SEATBELT" nerve messages! You silly goof!

When you leave a friendly interaction with a stranger going "wait, was he hitting on me?" and then five minutes later, the dude pulls up alongside you in the back of a taxi while you're both driving 40mph, shouting "CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR NUMBER??" out the window.

Points for tenacity I guess, and thanks for clearing up my question, but that is not good road safety Uh-oh

(Sorry for doubleposting, which always feels oddly impolite, like speaking out of turn Laughing)
