My Least Favourite Kitchen Applience
not that i spend all my time complaining about homeware, really, but as an adult i suppose im legally obligated to have opinions on these things now and have at least one thing a week make me want to either smash in into smithereens on the pavement from the balcony or commit murder. and the winner for most hated rage inducing appliance really has to go to these 'hot water dispenser' things they have in the student residence hall kitchens here instead of a normal proper kettle, despite these horrible things being more expensive, less convienent and a lot harder to use.
not only can you not pick it up to refill under they tap so you have to find something else to carry the water, but instead of an easy switch you flip on the boil the water and automatically goes off to tell you its done, its got these ridiculous load of different buttons and sometimes pressing the right one doesnt even do anything and it just sits there flashing and not boiling the water. and even if it does decide to work, it doesnt actually bother telling youu when its done so you constantly have to check. its lterally bloody impossible to get to work sometimes no matter how many times you plug it off and on (dont get me started on the power plugs here, i dont know how theyre even legal). its literally completely fucking baffling why they didnt just save a bit of money and buy normal kettles
#i just dont get this thing. why is it uniquely so unfunctional#also the tap water still tastes awful even after two months and sometimes smells actually toxic#and the showers turn off after ten seconds like its a bloody youth hostel or something#and set up like a public toilet block instead of individual showers/toilets so you have to brush your teeth and stuff in public

Took her to the pet store, let her pick a toy. You'll never believe what she chose.
It's a hyper realistic trout the size of her body but it's what she sniffed the most so. That's what we got.

not to go posting random irrelevent tumblr ads but come on youve got to be taking the bloody piss ???
#and this is for kids? dunno if adults get braces but theyd have to be even more#dunno how the system there works or anything if you pay full price or not#nor did i ever get braces myself so dunno what the normal price is#this ad is so weird for tumblr too how many 6 year olds do you reckon there are with tumblr accounts#no really how much does this sort of thing usually cost if you consider that affordable

please do look it up if you dont know the date bc there may be at least an approximate answer and otherwise the last option will completely dominate and this poll will be boring.
and dont be like 'but i cant sing'... just answer the earliest tune you know well enough that you COULD sing it
periods of western classical music provided only for reference
#the only songs i still remember the words too are like folk songs or something i dont know#but im not saying what cause its embarrassing

okay bear with me here but i went to illinois last week and one part of the experience has stuck with me
this is, of course, ignoring things like current weather, time of day, your current ability to physically go outside, etc…. answer based on what you consider would be your optimal mountain viewing conditions on a day to day basis 👍
#for the first time out of the places ive lived yes#i went out into the hall to check if i could from the window but not in this building#in my accomodation though i can from the stairs#theyre not very big mountains though

buying four things that are about sixteen dollars adds up to over sixty dollars. that doesn't make any sense they are each sixteen dollars (small price) and it is only four (small amount) they should not make over sixty dollars (big cost) this is why the economy is in shambles
#i wouldnt even consider 16 dollars cheap if it was aud#but certainly buying a few things that are only one or two whatevers ends up costing far more than it should#especially when supermarkets dont tell you the real tax included price as the large font cost

i never usually allow news apps to give me notifications but i allowed nhk to cause i couldnt figure out how to find out about weather warnigns so i knew when uni is cancelled but it was odd to wake up to a notification that a missile 'might' have been launched at japan (and then i found no mention of it on my usual international news app)

really looking forward to switching back to pay as you go mobile data this plan things giving me a headache
#and going back to having an actual variety of affordable options#even if customer service is shit i dont care if the price makes up for it#ive never had actual bills before just rent#but now i get a bill i can get in trouble for forgtting#and mandatory health insurance as well#dentists had bloody better be cheap here#the idea of having to go down to the convienience store to pay my bills is quite novel but i suppose thts being an adult#i wouldnt quite call it exciting but

My senpai and I are very different people lmao she just suggested we take the 100¥ bus to save us less than 15 minutes walking and I'm like GIRL I am NOT paying ANY amount of money if I can reasonably walk there
#im pretty sure ¥100 is actually closer to 50p or 1aud which is pretty cheap#i dont know how adjustment for income works but im not working in japan my incomes still from my home country so i use what google says#if its over like 28 then im taking the bus#the only busses ive been on in japan were like 200¥ but its still the bus considering the weather#usually id walk though

when i decided to study in japan i never wouldve guessed id be subjecting myself to being forcibly exposed to the american education system
#the discussion in this history module really feels pretty reminiscient of primary school at times#the lecture parts arent so bad other than being completely unengaging and fairly badly presented#the lecturers american its so annoying i didnt decide to go to america i want nothing to do with it
