i'm also sick and tired of oscillating fuzz.

and i hate myself and want to die. and can't even make it into a catchy song like Kurt Cobain.

I felt bad, but I got most of it, and then he said "well, thanks for cleaning it up, but you'll have to tell my wife what you did." So as I was leaving she came home, and I said "I blew up your bathroom," and her response was "well... I did feed you curry."

So I guess we're cool.
