just had the joy of yet another false alarm on our interconnected KIDDE brand smoke detectors

a bit after midnight, it’s usually in the middle of the night, and since one goes off means they all go off you get to play the amazing FIND THE SCREAMING MONSTER CONTROLLING ALL THE OTHER SCREAMING MONSTERS game

this is number five to fail, three from one pack, two purchased replacements, one optical (which was the one to go up tonight), KIDDE refuses to honour the warranty on any of them so FUCK YOU KIDDE

since there’s literally fuck and all i can do about this other than scream FUCK YOU KIDDE i’m just gonna tell everybody DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM KIDDE EVER.

i really hoped going optical would help BUT NOPE

fucking shitheels

Almost done with the restoration work, and then a trainwreck happened. I put details over on my LJ, since I don’t really think vintage kitchen restoration is really band material. Anyway, there’s a lot of money, some more work, and I cut my left hand in a pretty ouchy way, but I’ll be okay.

But goddamn I’m angry about some of that.

This week tho’ – it’s mostly more money on other stuff than more work, so in a day or two I should be playing again and I can get those Lukey zouk re-records done. Anna is deep into the Rebels of Adalonia third book right now, so can’t do readings this week after all.

Things just take. so. many. little. times. away. from. each. other. Crazymaking.

Oh, we also just gained a bonus track. It’s actually already ready, as are many things. We’re 95% done – that just leaves the last 95% to go…

Current Mood: pissed off
Current Music: want you gone | yes it's been stuck in my head for two days

So over on Tumblr, I got a new follower, maksimoqqoman. And despite the crappy username, I thought I’d check it out. It brings up a possibly-relevant promoter’s page, which is all well and good, despite for the autoplaying music video, but whatever.

Then pops up a modal dialogue box saying “Check out some great artists below,” with a single “close” X in the upper right and no other controls, and the rest of the page is locked out. Fine, annoying, but you get a lot of that brick-wall experience these days. It makes me very unlikely to look at your site again, but whatevs.

Sigh, another brick wall frontpage

THEN it gets good, because the “close” X? It’s not actually a close. IT’S A HIDDEN FACEBOOK LIKE FOR AN UNRELATED POLITICAL GROUP. Which I discover as soon as I try to close it.
