So I looked at my energy usage over Tuesday and Wednesday when it was warm and I did use my aircon a bit. As far as I can tell aircon use only slightly increased energy usage which would suggest my a/c is fairly efficient.

Speaking of serial killers, if there are any Fincher fans here, “The Killer” premiers on Netflix today.

Ah dang it. Minipeelers want to see the FNAF movie but it's rated M. Knowing them (they love jump scares and horror themes) they could handle it, but they aren't legally allowed to so they are more than a little upset about it!

It was my partner's birthday yesterday and I made him a playlist called songs that convey how I feel about you.

He listens to one song on the playlist and tells me it was a pretty solid playlist. However, regarding the two heartfelt Taylor Swift songs on the hour-long playlist, he tells me I should switch them out for insert other songs that do not convey the same meaning as the Taylor Swift songs at all because they were "better". He didn't listen to the songs.

Maybe he's just not a lyrics person, though I'd think the title would convey that the lyrics are important. It sucks that I'll have to explain that and also that we are probably not on the same wavelength. I'm debating ending it.

You're going to break up over a playlist? Look I hope this doesn't come across as harsh but it does strike me as an over reaction. Not everybody is a Taylor Swift fan. I personally don't care for her and I don't think she can sing particularly well.

It's possible you have different love languages and he can't necessarily compute your gesture. But if you say, made him a lavishly difficult cake he might love it.

Anyway food for thought, pardon the pun.

Half price Haagen Daas at Woolies? Don't mind if I do.

Tried for T Swift tickets again, as hopeless of an exercise as the first time around. All gone. Delaying the sale of some tickets changes nothing on chances of getting.

Think it’s beer time.

Has anyone been getting group spam texts? Like it'll be the scammer and then one other person? It's very weird, all the spam texts I've gotten in the past has just been one person until this week and now it's like group ones.
