"suspect," hell i know i am

Step one: admit that you are powerless over Soulseek, and that you will still feel incomplete even after downloading that very last acetate demo of Fela Kuti jamming on surf-metal songs with Bjork and Harry Partch.

you've admitted it, that's the first step.

I am still in denial about it. I'm not continuously addicted, I just have downloading binges. I've had a few "lost weekend"s due to slsk.

Oh hey, thanks for reminding me I needed to clear my finished transfers.

C/D: checking your tranfers and seeing this weirdness where all the downloads are flashing blue, red, blue, red, Initializing, Failed, Initializing, Failed; pondering; realizing the cause is that your hard drive is FULL

going cold turkey on slsk is worse than going cold turkey on blow

My computer crashed and SLSK isn't working on it. My body hurts because of it.

Fortunately, the payment system is better automated now. Instead of the 24 or 48 hours it used to take, now your privleges begin within a minute or two after sending your cash.

what bothers me, is that whereas your audiogalaxys and yr napsters closed down mere months after i began on them, slsk is still up/jivin like there's no tomorrow after mo than a year. how long can it last?!! hey, maybe itll be here forever?
it's gone very eerily/suddenly quiet on the RIAA clampdown hype-o-rama front...

soulseek has been up for more than 3 years at this point, brainiac

My brush with Mr.Show: If you look closely, you can see that I am standing directly next to the drunk woman that David Cross berated in the Portland scene of his "Let America Laugh" DVD. It's true!

― ianinportland (ianinportland), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

david cross alone =! mr show

fuck him

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

June 17, 2004 -- COMEDIAN David Cross felt a little shortchanged the other night at the Slipper Room, where dwarf actor Peter Dinklage was celebrating his birthday with the likes of Paul Rudd, Stephen Dorff and Norman Reedus. We hear that Cross falsely accused the Lower East Side lounge's barmaid of "watering down" his shot of Patron tequila and demanded his money back. "He was yelling at her and being really belligerent," tattles our spy. Cross' tantrum elicited eye rolls from the bar's staff, who are unlikely to send the cranky comic any free rounds during his next visit.

he wishes he had beer commercials.

― artdamages (artdamages), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

or was in anchorman.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

he was in Cable Guy for like 2 seconds if that counts.

― artdamages (artdamages), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

He was also in that Phil Hartman movie about the toys coming to life, too. I think he'll take any role he's offered.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

And he really digs Superchunk!

im addicted to a david bowie bootleg torrent site just as much as soulseek which is ruining me.

― thesplooge (thesplooge), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

he was in eternal sunshine, though it seems he may not have actually had to act in it

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)
