but it shows how amazing these machines really are.

I am so thankful that the nerds I grew up with haven't trooned out

"The land of plenty" has its plenty and wants to keep it that way as cheaply as possible.

The bike I was going together never came this weekend.

I hate ordering really large or really small things online. Seems like it never gets deliver.

It's hot.

The full-time job I was supposed to get fell through.

But thankfully, a bro reached out to me out of the blue and found me some temp work. I'm making greasy money, and the most demanding things I have to do is be on site at the asscrack of dawn and occasionally interact with hoodrats.

I was in Nunavut so I don't think I actually ran into any of them.

All the best Newfies left for oil sand jobs in AB or FIFO jobs North of 60.

when i got it out of the box and tried to start it up, it would barely go, and i knew exactly what was wrong...i took off the top plate and underneath the entire thing was leaking black oil everywhere...
LUCKILY i found someone who will take it apart and give it a good cleaning though. the damn thing had feathers jammed into the mainspring somehow.
it will be worth it though, it will sound amazing when i get it back.
here is a short video of my smaller music box, just because.
it sounds a lot different than my new one, but i like it all the same.
i forgot to wind it though, and it starts really slowing down halfway through, but it shows how amazing these machines really are.

Damn, 1900 bucks sounds pricy to me but that's really cool! Also that looks a lot bigger than I imagined when I read "smaller music box". Impressive things, kind of reminds me of the Syberia games...
Shame we are moving further and further away from purely mechanical things. It's simply not the technological meta anymore, but these mechanical contraptions are still so cool!

Shoot just talked to my buddy and his dad is terminal with different cancers and all the family stuff is falling on him bc he's the only responsible son. He unloaded on me and that's good and he needed to vent. Gotta be there for your bros. But man, it's not going to get better. Dang.

[Haunted Tamagotchi]

Doing pretty well over here. Planning the final stages of an upcoming family holiday, starting Tiniest Tamagotchi on baby food, and crocheting lots. Taking the eldest of the kids to see My Chemical Romance soon, which will be fun-I got to see them during their original run before they broke up, so it’s kinda sweet to be able to share musical experiences with my child. I feel ancient now though.

Over the weekend German cockroaches have exploded all over my studio apartment and have spread into the hallway. After tearing up my kitchen trying to find where they are hiding I discovered that the drain for the washer that got taken out when I first moved in was not plugged. I got it taped up now but a lot of damage has been done already and I still got to male sure I got the ones that are already in my apartment.

sounds like you need a final solution.

I’m getting a little tired of the cold and rain but I don’t know if the pending heatwave will be better or not

 

[Squanto Airi]

Woke up this morning thinking I had a doctor's appointment, only to find out it's next Monday.

Now I have come back from my eye exam. Talked with the lady at the front desk about the Dawgs, and the optometrist complimented me on my eyes (which was nice but I don't swing that way).

 

[Scream Aim Fire]

My work and writing lives have been the same as usual; work sucks, but I'm still going. Writing is pretty much completely stuck, so I'm taking a slight break from that now. Truth be told, I've been having more trouble with my personal life more than anything.

Been a LOT of issues with my family lately; just lost another one of my relatives, and another one got AIDs from his piss-poor decision-making, so that's been hell to deal with. My parents have gotten fairly toxic as of late, as detailed a bit on the Boomer Hate Thread, so that's been a thing. I also keep getting reminded of a lot of rather cringy shit I've done in the past; feels like stuff that I can't/not allowed to forgive myself for.

Newfoundland is split 70-30 between dysgenic Irish gnome caricatures who refuse to work a second longer than needed to get their stamps, and workaholic handy men who can seemingly do literally everything.

When the fishery was shut down a lot of them left for Ontario and New England as well (
back when those areas were still economically prosperous)

NFLD is just about the only place where when. Companies complain they can't find workers I believe them. The salary doesn't matter man, everyone just wants to work during the summer and take the rest of the year off. ( This isn't sustainable but more power to them honestly)
