No, living in a house or apartment with someone else sucks, too. People are just more trouble than they're worth.

Miz Jen is pretty awesome. We almost never see each other, we both cook and clean and random things from the store show up occasionally for either of us. My rent and utilities are less. I have occasional social contact every couple days for about 15 minutes.

Granted we are both neurotic bipolar artists and totally out-there. She's far too much like a realgirl version of me, and vice-versa, with her being punker d00d and me being goth grrl. It's odd. But it works. Largely because anyone else would think we're totally mad. Which we are. We acknowledge that point and move on. She has impeccable taste and is fine company, when either of us can tolerate company.

What are the fucking odds that I decide to email a guy who is advertising looking for a guitarist in a 90's project and the guy is a professor in my university...

WTF?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

Trade favors for grades.

I don't like doing people favors, but in this case I guess I'm kinda screwed...

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me, Snaxo. The housemates I live with downstairs are alright, they're Polish (I think) construction workers and keep themselves to themselves, bit of polite chit-chat etc. And they're never here in the day time or at weekends, so I only have to speak to them when I'm making food or tea/coffee. It suits me perfectly

Oh and they drink an exceptional amount of Pilsner Urquelle. Like, in quantities so big that if I were to steal a can from the fridge it would definitely go unnoticed. But I wouldn't do that, stealing a mans beer is almost as bad as stealing his woman Unless at a house party where everything is fair game.

Far from it on both counts.

There is definitely a cosmic conspiracyforce that:

1. Can sense that i need to apply clear coat, and

2. Can make it rain at exactly the wrong time for it.



On the upside, i could probably sell my services as a charlatan/rainmaker across the midwest in times of drought.

107 runs down the main bit of the mountain in the bike park since 6th september, not bad going if I don't say so myself Including the few days in August I did, I'm probably up to about 135 total + about 10 for the lift to the very top of the mountain. Doesn't look like I'm gonna make 200 this season though, next week it's closing weekend

Damn that's a lot of biking.

If I don't ride my bike for a little over a week, I have to pump the tires up again.

You probably have a slow puncture

Somebody on the nsmb forums has done 400+ runs this season, but he's a local so has been here since opening weekend

Also, I got the bike new for 99$.

I know it's gay to use presets, but fuck, using the 'percussion' preset for the EQ plugin that came with my Focusrite and increasing the 'beater' knob... best kick sound I've ever had!

Presets are more useful with recording gear than they are with guitar gear by a lot. Presets on guitar effects fellate dead bears about 300% of the time. Recording stuff, they're actually useful. They're a starting point from which to tweak to taste. They won't get you there on their own but that's not the point. "This X does Y on one of these mostly. Now tweak it to get you there with what you recorded."

Anyone else notice they're lingering on the Index page for longer than should be appropriate?

Mainly i have noticed an increased desire for beer.

My life has actually been going very well lately.... I have a 4.0 besides a B in fucking Spanish 1 which I will raise within a few weeks but it still pisses me off. I'm actually ranked number one in my Algebra 2 class, normally a junior course but I'm a sophomore. I feel so much more intelligent now that I'm actually trying in school and doing well. It's fucking easy man, I don't know why I had so many problems last year. But yeah I guess I'm finally making use of my potential, so that's something I'm proud of myself for. On another note, I'm also doing better socially; people generally like me more this year. My confidence level is much higher too. I've been getting a good amount of opportunities to get pussy lately. I'm still a virgin, not even fingers or hand jobs, but as of now I have three chicks I could fuck/have them blow me if i wanted too. It's not a big deal though, sex isn't really that important in the grand scheme of things.

As far as music goes, I'm in the guitar class at my school which is very good for me. I'm finally playing with other people, and people are finally starting to notice me haha. The music program at my Catholic school is really making me wanna possibly stay. Also, my songwriting skills have improved greatly and I have a few pretty good songs written.
So yeah, CSB.

I thought you were meant to be clever? Sure don't sound like it to me

I thought about that before I said it, and decided to say it anyways. Sure, it's the origin of life, but in our case, with 7 billion people and many of them having sex for pleasure and not for reproduction, it's not that important. You know what I meant :P I just worded it retardedly. What I was saying is in my current situation, I should be focusing on succeeding in school and taking care of my responsibilities, not getting laid.
