That kind of shit happens to me. Makes me think I wanna carry a rock in my pocket to hurl at the next fucker who does that. I'd love to see their rear window splinter as they speed away.

I totally don't have the time to finish (well...more like start) one of the homework assignments that are due today before leaving for class in half an hour. Meaning, that I'll probably fail Production Management.

Oh well, it's only film school... not like my dreams are at stake or anything.

I only had it for 2 month or so.

So did you get the book?

!@#$%! 04.21.2010 07:04 PM

started well, got shitty, got better, now it's fucking 6pm and it should be 5 but the fuckwads moved the clock so it's "later". what a bunch of fucking tools.

but anyway, got better.

knox 04.21.2010 08:17 PM

I WILL CRY. I had a shit day. I DONT EVEN WANT BEER.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 04.21.2010 08:27 PM

I was left bewildered, hustled, and relieved by the apple store. that place is crazy, that fascist apple culture is bizarre, but genius marketing. They have all the classic secrets.. bottle-necking customers into limited locations, crowded and confusing sales floor in order to make the salespeople seem like heroes of relief when they finally get to you, flashy lights and novelty buzz shit going on.. the manager played all the games with me, gave me all the 'hook-ups' which left even my anti-capitalist ass largely impressed and even 'sold'

have I sold out to the apple fascism? Will I buy a mac?

floatingslowly 04.21.2010 08:59 PM

whatever you do...make sure you get applecare. that shit BREAKS (as you may well know).

space 04.21.2010 09:09 PM

A bad day unfolds if I can't get a hot shower in the morning.

My cousin's friend is trying to hook me up with a job at the Grove Apple store. We shall incorporate your consciousness through all available avenues. Long live the new flesh.

half of my mind is still in dream land. I just kind of remembered I should probably shower before work,.,..

Sonic Youth 37 04.21.2010 10:34 PM

Day: 3/10. Worked and now I'm trying to write two five page papers before morning.

Looking forward to: Friday. Sushi with the girl and probably video games.

if you wanna escape the clutches of babylon and stick it to Little Stalin (steve) you should look into a netbook hackintosh. oh yeah. up his!!!

space 04.22.2010 09:31 AM

the last twenty minutes have been so/so.

ex-minions do not understand time change, ex- had to tell me to get a new bank and this banana is a little too ripe.

chicka 04.22.2010 10:00 AM

I love my Mac. It's so nice to turn the machine on in the morning or afternoon and be surfing away in a minute. My last PC took 15 minutes or so to load everything up and be willing to work. It's definitely the most user friendly machine I have owned.

Nice signature Doc thanks for the change........

It's time like this that I wish I had re-enforced battering rams instead of bumpers on my car.

newports are the ones in green packs, right? I remember, only black folks smoked them
cigarette business is very racially segregated in the US, isn't it?

ink. 04.22.2010 11:06 AM

soooo tired, but not as ridiculous as I thought. I didnt fuck anything up! ( I dont think)

Derek 04.22.2010 11:07 AM

My day was good but I'm EXTREMELY tired.

so far i've drank tea and listened to sleater-kinney's "all hands on the bad one". the fucking record, it skips at times, even though i've cleaned and reclean the thing.

i'm seriously considering ditching vinyl. fuck fetishes-- i need music that plays without constant babysitting.

although, they look and feel good.... and the large-sized photos of carrie brownstein are nothing to sneeze at. fleshy lips + androgynous body + smart brains = strange reactions.

CD's - need baby-soft care to prevent scratches, heat damage,data rot.

digital files - need constant backing up, plus updating of playback software, plus updating of playback devices as obsolescence is built into the format.

records - keep upright, in sleeve. you can play them for a hundred years.
if your ALL HANDS LP is skipping then it is either due to mishandling, or a production error. sux man.

hot. always hot.

vinyl gets melted like a cheese food product in the heat, more easily than CDs, it gets scratched easier than CD too. data rot on CD: OK, yes. however, vinyl warps. that's a 3-3 score an they are tied.

digital files can be a pain in the ass, yes, but with the proper format (e.g. raw audio from CD) they can be transcoded into eternity.

the all hands was fine before-- not sure what's wrong. maybe it needs some sanding... ha! anyway i just played the woods and it was fucking fine. whatever.... crazy-making archaic technology! still i like it.

i think i'm going to shoot myself in the head and rethink this one.

space 04.22.2010 02:27 PM

due to geography, the tilt, spin and orbital velocity of the planet, my "day" doesn't end.

the sun never sets on the blissful empire.

I think it would be obvious to everyone you're a fucking psycho who has played GTA IV one too many times.
