I might have already posted these before. Senility is a bitch.

Had a plumber stop by today. He said in effect 'lol, big job. Imma call the boss. No way this is getting done today, and probably not tomorrow either.' That's kind of a blessing as a have a huge gig doing lights tomorrow night. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be without a kitchen sink throughout the weekend. After the plumber left, I collected and dumped ~5 gallons of fetid water. The leak has been going on for quite some time, possibly upwards of a month. The broken pipe is located right above a large storage unit. It has a few dozen removable "drawers" in it, each of which has a front panel that extends out at a 45º angle ...perfect for collecting water. Add to that fact that the primary source of water for the leak is the kitchen sink and the end result is a hideous situation. You know how dishes smell when they've been neglected for a week? Extend that to a month or more and stick it in a basement during record temperatures. The stench was unbelievable. The storage unit was full of old tools, many of which qualify as antiques. I threw out one entire box of them. The tools might have been salvageable, but they were covered in black gunk. I threw them into not one but two contractor's bags and deposited them in the dumpster outside of a friend's business. It's good to know people in the commercial sector. I think I'm going to take like three showers tonight. *shudder*

Ayep, I appear to have angered the same plumbing gods as Shelley. I've done some further investigation, and I can't use the upstairs sinks without causing flooding, either. Also, I don't want to appear insensitive to the passing of NightWoundsTime with my selfish bitching about plumbing woes. I never met NWT (or any head-caser, for that matter) but I do recall him posting in Slow Forum. I've said it before, I'm guilty of posting in this thread, but not keeping up with it. In a revelation that will surprise exactly no one, I have this url http://www.head-case.org/forums/topic/9081-slower-forum/unread/ in my FFX toolbar, and I go there first and other places later.

Just discovered that the gray water pipes from my kitchen sink and downstairs bathroom have burst. There's water all over my basement, and I can't use any of the sinks.

Apparently Sharon Osbourne angered some Maiden fans a few years back.

Living the dream! MS Flight Simulator's textures are a bit out of date. :/

H-C was down during his actual birthday, part of some Rotenberg/Ultrasone conspiracy I am sure. I had an elaborate and terrible joke constructed around not knowing who Tyll was and asking a variety of increasingly inane questions, culminating in me moving my HRBD out of the way to get a better look at his resume. Of course, seeing as how I'm starting this thread that's not exactly gonna work. I'll say this instead: It was directly because of the reviews I read of the HD-650 on the Headroom website in early 2004 that I decided to build a headphone rig. Thus began an extended and expensive journey that eventually lead me to this place. Thank you and damn you, Tyll Hertsens!

The Indie Royale bundle includes a bunch of games, but more importantly if you pay $8 you get the Floex album Pocustone. In FLAC, no less. Floex is an alias of Tomáš Dvořák, the man who did the amazing Machinarium soundtrack. I paid quite a bit to get Pocustone on CD, about a decade ago. Games included are SOL: Exodus, All Zombies Must Die, Cubemen, Squids, Platformance: Castle Pain, Platformance: Temple Death, VectorGeddon.

David Guetta "performing" in front of 80,000 fans ...all the faders are down on the DJ mixer. Fake DJs FTL.

The snake is a lie!
