One of the more nonsensical and completely inconvenient design changes to a major website of late is the fact that you can't configure embeds smoothly within YouTube anymore. Nevermind the fact that I have to click twice just to access the full iframe code, but you previously could enter your desired width and have the code automatically updated to reflect the proper ratio. Now I'm whipping out the calculator app to do some aspect ratio b.s. to make it look right. UN-ACCEPTABLE. And just look at how ugly that crap (⬆︎) is in general. I hate it.

A funny thing in life is that when I add movies/tv to my new phone and watch the files in Plex, they are randomly relabeled as wildly wrong titles. See above: this Season 3 ep. of Mr. Robot which Plex thought was the 2009 movie Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.

Petition to replace all door knobs with trumpets. The mouthpiece end would be on the outside along with the finger buttons. Visitors would have to play the right melody to gain entrance. The bell would be on the inside and if the people outside played it correctly the door would automatically open. Could increase home invasions but might make life more interesting?

I Like Sports
IT IS TRUE WAHT THEY SAY ABT ME AND THE THING THEY SAY IS "I LIKE SPORTS." I SOMETIMES WONDER WHEN I READ SOME THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE NOT LIKING SPORTS... THAT THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM ON THE MOST BASIC OF LEVELS. AND THAT'S SAD. FANDOM IS 1 THING. BUT A GENERAL APPRECIATION FOR THE ART OF IT–THE COMPETITION TOO, SURE, BUT MOSTLY *THE ART*–IS SOMETHING ELSE. THAT IS THE THING. I WISH EVERYONE LIKED SPORTS IN THE SAME I WISH EVERYONE WAS IN A BAND (EVEN IF THE BAND THEY ARE IN IS JUST THEIR OWN MINDS). ERGO, I WISH PEOPLE COULD SEE ALL THE SPORTS THRU THE LENS OF A BAD RESOLUTION VIDEO BROADCAST OF A LOW, LOW LEVEL ARENA FOOTBALL GAME WITH MAYBE 115 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE.

A well adjusted adult would call this behavior insane, were he to witness another adult doing so, but this is the beauty of children I guess: we afford to them what we cannot ourselves, a finite window in time to be an insane person, but to eventually grow up, lest one be called insane for good.

I'm going to post a video of me going down every isle of the Montgomery, NJ Shop Rite in ~one hour on the Livesthetic facebook pg.
I think the audio quality...
... of my new phone recordings for MY PODCAST! are way less than before. This is, potentially, because of the new phone's mic, but it could also be because of how the Android Soundcloud app handles large files (?). I am suspicious because it literally took about ten seconds to upload that entire ~60-min. long episode (Ep. 339; just posted). Before, on my iPhone, I was using a third party app called AudioCopy (or something like that) because you couldn't record/upload straight to your account with the iOS Soundcloud app, or at least I thought you couldn't. Anyway, that app recorded audio at a very high rate and the files were pretty big. TOO big frankly, if you ask me! Anyhooters, this is my life now. I like it.

Things I've eaten thus far 2day; @ ~10:04:23 AM–––3 DEC 2017 [monday]: ~10 raw green beans doused w/ Ken's brand Italian dressing, ~⅛ of a Kiwi fruit (was cutting it up for my daughter), whole red plum. I am going to eat a pear (not sure which type it is) and some pistachios at some point too, likely before lunch.
