iMovie came out when I was eight years old. It was bundled with the...
Rogers’ Pay As You Go top up number has roughly 1 minute and 30 seconds of talking before you can enter in your voucher number. Most of it consists of “please wait while I look up that account”.
The automated computer lady on the other end tells you your account balance about halfway in, and then tells you twice that she’s still looking up your account, despite having...
You know your language learning is coming along great when you’re listening to a Japanese podcast and all you understand is that at some point, you know they’re talking about G cups and milk… and that’s about it.
In related news: Seikon no Qwaser II.
Just kidding, not going there. I try to keep the blog reasonably work-safe.
