  TV is at one end of the apartment, computer at the other.  That means I'll have to choose between
  tonight's Breaking Bad marathon in the living room, and the postwhoring marathon in the bedroom.  :'(

Move one to the other.  It's a match made in heaven  :lovelove:

I had to turn up the heat so I would not feel cold while eating my ice cream.

  I had to turn on my bedside fan to counteract the excessive warmth of the heating.  :'(

our third vacuum cleaner bit the dust. thinking of buying another shark to replace it.

The one that died was dedicated to picking up gross stuff. Like ladybugs.

I have a vacuum cleaner that will not work on rugs.   I have another vacuum that doesd work on rugs but the hose doesn't work.  I have another that only the hose works that gets used for chairs, cobwebs etc.

I think the time has come for me to consolidate all my vacuum cleaners into one handy fully functioning vacuum cleaner.

Buses and (especially) taxi-cabs in Norway are too damn comfortable. This pushes prices up, and makes it quite expensive to use - in particular taxis, which almost always has a new-car-smell :(

I realize that we fare better than 3rd world countries, but proportionally the ratio of aid-concert, solidarity-songs etc is completely unfair

we're into the hundreds now, of songs and concerts for 3rd world countries, but do we get a single song in return? NO
and I don't even demand an entire song dedicated to unstable internet connection, but at least one song to summarize a few of our troubles :(

Why not just find somewhere with catch-up/on demand viewing, or do your postwhoring after breaking bad finishes?

  Buses where I live tend to smell of stale air, and cabs are often a bit messy.  :P
