Hey, I have a week left in London.

Due to the biggest amount of fuckery when it came to getting a van to drive me to the airport I have been overcharged massively, AND I had to book it twice. Some money is "coming back to you in 5 - 10 days" supposedly, but this has left me with basically no money.

I also need to pay another £48 when I pick up the van (I might do a long rant about the issues)

Please, please help me survive my last week in London.

green's questionable musical tastes (more?!?) 

well I call for sleep
but sleep it won't come to me
shuffling in the hallway
I can hear him on the stairs
and I hear his lighter flicking
I hear the soft sigh of his inhale

time is money and money, time
we wasted every second dime
on diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps and flags and plastic surgery
now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali, and Leia have moved on
(and that's the part where I start crying)

complaining about the weather 

I realized why I've been feeling low-grade sick the last week or so; the temperature is high enough that I feel like I'm running a damn fever just sitting in the living room. o_____o

hawk spoofing 

while heading out to Costco earlier I heard one of the Cooper's hawk fledglings in the forest, so I played the adult call from the app on my phone, and ended up with two fledglings perched about two yards over my head doing their best to intimidate the strange and persistent bird they could hear near me. XD it was so neat, watching them poof our their feathers and yell at me...

i’m done putting this bad boy together, not as effective as a regular AC but much better than a fan.

the cooler has salt water and ice packs together with a cheap aquarium pump, water is circulated through plastic tubing and a copper pipe in front of the fan to cool the air. there are tons of instructions for these on youtube and it’s pretty easy to put together.

total cost: around 50 euros and everything can be found at a hardware store. (for fellow swedes: biltema!)

food 

why is "a gluten-free burrito that doesn't fall apart upon being microwaved" such a goddamn pipe dream?? >:( I keep hoping, and I keep being disappointed... maybe I should start frying these damn things instead.

food, sleep 

slept badly, so after taking my meds and feeding the cats I went back to sleep for a while. what I forgot to do at that point: eat. um. so now I *really* need to do that... o_____o time to go stare at the fridge contents for a while...

"The plunge in Facebook’s share price puts the social network on track to rack up the biggest ever one-day drop in a company’s market value.... the Silicon Valley company revealed that 3 million users in Europe have abandoned the social network since the Observer revealed the Cambridge Analytica breach"
