Just got back home from house & pet sitting, which was exhausting in itself, to discover my replacement laptop battery had arrived yesterday... except it is the wrong battery. It doesn't match the description or picture on the website; it's not even close. I went through the online steps to return it, and apparently I have to wait for the seller to "approve" my return request (WTF?) before I can ship it back for a refund.
{sigh} Thanks, Cosmo.

I blame Cosmo that when using Google Site's tool for editing a page's raw HTML, the stupid editing window wastes about 2/3 of your computer's vertical resolution, leaving you a small slit to actually view and edit HTML. On a 1366x768 laptop screen, it's headache-inducing and unnecessarily time-consuming when re-writing huge chunks of HTML.

I blame Cosmo for experimenting on one of our two cats with NZT or CPH4 or melange (or something else). Over the last year, she has become a more vociferous vocalizer when she wants human attention, and she's stopped being a pushover for her previously more dominant sister. But lately she's figured out how to use her paws. She taught herself how to open cabinet doors, and then last month, she figured out to flip the slides that unlock her cat door. About that time, she discovered how to get my attention by reaching out and touching me with a paw, often repeatedly until I give her whatever she wants. Last week, she figured out how to open the French-door refrigerator. We seen her poking at other latches and buttons that she's watched us touch. Thank goodness she's not polydactyl.
Stop brain-juicing this cat, Cosmo!

In relation to to this...
I Blame Cosmo for my cats learning if they want to go out just scratch the wood work. ( Or how my parents learned not to reinforce bad behavior with something the cats might want...like going out side.)
I Blame Cosmo that Floyd will pretend to be throwing up if he wants to go out.

I Blame Cosmo I forgot all about Off-Topic discussion section...
I will also Blame Cosmo if the college I'm trying to enroll in winds up full and I get stuck on the wait list. I want my bachelor's degree in English damn it so I can go teach Eigo in Nihon already! I'm too old now to make it for the JET programme, I'll JUST hit their age cut off point (30) by the time I get the required Bachelor's (for this, I do Blame Cosmo), so I'll have to go with a friggin' corporate one... I am seething with impatience! SEETHING I SAY!

I blame Cosmo for this entirely rational desire to spend $300 on buying Nerf toys. I also blame him for the responsible side of me resisting this desire as there is no way I can afford to sink $300 into awesome toys.
I'll accept the blame for your desires, but I refuse the blame for your responsible decisions.
BUY THE TOYS... BUY THE AWESOME TOYS...

And some of these.
I have nephews. I would delight, most heartedly, in shooting them when I get the chance and then engaging in all out nerf warfare.
[Edit] Forgot to include one of these.
[Second Edit] I blame Cosmo for failing to include why I suddenly wanted lots of nerf toys (beyond being they're awesome). I read a review on the Nerf Rival and wanted them. It also had a clip of the machine gun in the previous edit. The 8 year old in me squealed in delight.

Over the last month or so, I've been griping at stupid and/or distracted motorists by calling them "Jacka$$" in the style of Joe Flaherty's character in Billie Madison (Youtube clip not linked for NSFW language).
I blame Cosmo that I now think The Joe Flaherty Jacka$$ Explosion* would be a great name for a band.
* Or perhaps, The Count Floyd Jacka$$ Explosion.

So I walk to and from work some days, as a bare minimum amount of exercise to keep my long-beaten archnemesis of diabetes from ever darkening my doorstep again.
And, each morning, I dash through the sprinklers that, for some inane reason, Cosmo has moved in the night to water the sidewalk and street, and not the actual lawns of the various businesses along said street.
Last night felt fine, going to work, and I wore my usual attire of shorts and thin T-shirt, because it gets hot at work, servicing all those machines. (I no longer service people. Unlike machines, people get so needy and demanding and irrational when they find out that they aren't the only one you are servicing...)
And then came morning, when there was frost on the windows of the cars I passed, in my shorts and flimsy t-shirt.
And those sprinklers were still on, Cosmo! I seriously considered dashing out into morning rush traffic to avoid your trap, but I ran that gauntlet!

I blame Cosmo for this emotional roller coaster I'm on since my sister has asked me to help pick out the song for her wedding procession.
No contest. The Imperial March. My wife wanted this, but my Dad (who officiated) shot the idea down. Not suitable for a church wedding, or something like that.

Got a few things to blame Cosmo for today:
I blame Cosmo for humanity adapting to the ambient temperature. This makes it so 32 degrees at the end of winter is warm, but 32 degrees at the beginning of fall is cold.
I blame Cosmo for how "cold" it's been recently. I've git a long sleeved shirt, a sweater, pajama pants and sweats on under my blanket and I'm still feeling cold.
I blame Cosmo that, despite the cold, my region in Alaska is, apparently, the only bloody place that didn't get snow! Seriously, there's like a horseshoe around the Kenai Peninsula and snow fell everywhere else. You made it cold enough to bring a chill, not cold enough to freeze the rain.
I blame Cosmo for 3 days of rain. Not just the rain from the sky either.

I blame Cosmo for the wash outs and massive rainfall (about 7 inches) that fell on my province...just days before a potential hurricane coming our way.
Yes it was dry here and we were looking for rain, but this is ridiculous!

I Blame Cosmo for having to wake up early this weekend. Sat. I had to be up at 7:45 AM to take my Mom car in for maintenance. Today I had to be up at 9:20 AM to watch the Jets who were playing in London. And to top if it off I have to wake up at 7ish tomorrow to go to Jury Duty. Normally I don't like to be up before noon on the weekends.
