they sound a bit like Skinny Puppy to me - they don't sound exactly like Skinny Puppy or sound completely derivative of Skinny Puppy.

I didn't want to seem dismissive of something you obviously like.
― sarahel, Friday, 20 November 2009 23:43 (fourteen years ago) link
no that's cool - i've noticed that when you don't like something so much that i adore, you say it isn't for your tastes, which is very pleasant of you :)

― bamcquern, Friday, 20 November 2009 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link
i try to be pleasant. though there are some musical things i can't be pleasant about - like Hall & Oates and Phil Collins - so I generally don't say anything about them.
― sarahel, Friday, 20 November 2009 23:46 (fourteen years ago) link
rather than saying it is flat-out bad or terrible music - positive attitude imo xp
yeah exack

I don't understand the Alica Key's ass thread.
― sarahel, Friday, 20 November 2009 23:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe it's because when I open that thread the post that is dead center in my field of vision mentions cupcakes.

that's what you said about the Smoke Persian, and I didn't understand.

It's more straightforward than the Smoke Persian.

shapely advanced chords and an obligatory post about cupcakes

we went out to dinner, went home, watched episodes of Season 4 of the Wire for possibly the fourth time, and I fell asleep on the couch. We were full from dinner so we didn't eat any snack food while engaged in this activity.

My brother and his wife keep it like a cave in this house. The opaque curtains are always drawn, even when it's overcast outside, even though the porch kills a lot of the potential direct sunlight, and now, in the middle of November, in one of Central Florida's colder autumns, they've got the air conditioning on. Not the only reason I'm moving out, but I'm moving out. Fuck those two.

i talked with one of my non-profit bookkeeping clients yesterday about the breakup and the business stuff that's up in the air, and how I'll need to take on more freelance work to be able to live alone, and she said she'd refer me to other people who might need someone, so the financial challenges are seeming a bit less challenging.
― sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
That's good. I keep thinking of financial challenges in special classes.
― bamcquern, Saturday, 21 November 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
when I think of special classes I think of my friend Jen's students, and how part of their curriculum is social adjustment, so she'll take them to McDonalds or Walgreens and places like that.

u can live in place where your rent is less than $400/month

wow 300 dollar rent
― jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:02 (fourteen years ago) link
my rent is under $500/month - I have friends that have cheaper rent that live in larger places or crappier neighborhoods.
― sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I used to pay $275 for a three bedroom house with a large kitchen and a porch. But this is Orlando, and it's $300 for a room. Florida is not too cheap considering the quality of life is total balls.

the summer I lived in Indiana was 1995 - the summer a hundred old people died in Chicago, but by the time I went out there, it wasn't that bad - but it was still a major heat wave. His parents "didn't believe" in air conditioning. He lived out in the middle of nowhere. A night on the town was driving into Muncie and going to Steak & Shake.

We went to Bloomington for a few days and hung out w/friends of his from HS. We saw a play that one of his friends directed - I think it was "Cowboy Mouth" - and it was a bit dreary, until the Lobster Man showed up near the end in a lobster costume they rented from a costume shop in Texas, which apparently was the only place they could locate that had such a costume.

Bloomington's so indie now. The guy from John Wilkes Booze used to live in Knoxville and he's from there.

I <3 Christian Bale - it's weird thinking that he's the same age as me. I think in some ways the movie is actually better than the book.

the book made me crack up a lot when I read it one summer during secondary school, every time my mam asked what i was laughing at i kinda had to be "i would have to explain a lot of backstory" cos usually they would be lines abt hacking up some workmate
