On the double-plus side, being not dead is good. Best wishes, Jacob -- I would wish you luck, but you don't need it, you just need to find an interviewer who is good enough to realize what an excellent worker you'd be.

That one front and center looks...Dali-esque.

I don't even know what to call this. Death Rock?

Yeezh.

EDIT: That is surprisingly watchable, in an avant garde/manipulated found art sorta way. I watched a lot more of it than I thought I would. Forforforforforforforforforforforforfor... Is it just me, or is this worst advertisement in the history of advertisements? The scene where he slumps after he says he can't play, so he draws...what is the appeal in taking lessons from someone with that shitty attitude?

I found both these videos enlightening: I think Barrett-led (early stuff), ensemble (everything between <-- and --> ), Waters-led (The Wall, Final Cut), and Gilmour-led (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and after) were all Pink Floyd, just different. It seems Waters in the above video recognizes that he wasn't Pink Floyd in hindsight.

I thought airfoils were put on cars because the drivers wanted them put on. I know cars like the Mazda3 and the Matrix definitely need them, otherwise they look...I don't know what the word is...'dowdier'?

Bathroom door sign:

yeah, but how are the production values?

Happy birthday! (party favour noise...doppler shifted as he goes whizzing by...)

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

I think of this sample every time I read the words, "quit being poor", finally got tired of not knowing what the song was, so I Googled it.

A little salty...IIRC, BFB is usually not that salty.

KSIA == "Keep Shelly in Athens", Jeff.

Fucking hell, it's a bit of a mystery. I'm in a group on Facebook with the maker of his signature pedal, and there isn't a single word on it, and you can't get it -- it was made exclusively for him. But I have learned a few things -- he splits the signal, and puts the clean sound and distorted sound through two different amps, so that's a big part of it. I believe he low passes the lead (dirty) sound and high passes the clean, bass sound, but that's obviously not the whole of it. EDIT: OH HOLY SHIT, apparently the bassist/vocalist, Steve Fromage, is in the group too, I interact with him all the time. Unholy carp, I hope I haven't said anything insulting, although I don't think I did, because I really like them and just bought all their CDs.

Fucking brilliant video

I love the groove of this one:

My jam is "Drinking Song" by Rob Dougan (anyone who's hung out with me while I was spinning on tt.fm probably knows it by heart). Not that they're related at all (they aren't!). I just thought it was funny that the song titles make them sound like they are. Me, now: Trans Am, Futureworld -- I have very pleasant memories of seeing them several times in the 90s after this release, and they would bookend the concert with synthpop that would gradually morph into their more guitar-oriented indie music, and towards the end of the concert, would morph back into Kraftwerkian electronica, and it was such a unique, yet totally Trans-Am-ish experience, that I will probably take this memory to my grave.

I lived in a townhouse for years, from 1988 to 1993, IIRC. It's exactly as you say -- I really liked the lack of lawn care (HOA took care of the front, I used a weed wacker on the back forty...square inches), but occasionally the neighbor liked to listen to things loud -- I suspect I was the bigger problem. Also, parking can be a problem, depending how things are set up. (We didn't have reserved spots, so it was last come, walk far.) Some units are really well built, though, I've been in one where I've never heard them. Downside you may not have realized is in the DC area, there's a big temperature differential between the upstairs and the downstairs. We ended up having to get a window unit for the master (topmost floor). At 2500 sq. ft., you might consider multiple units. I suspect if this is in the South, you'll have the same problem. Also, talk to your dad! He'll give you honest answers, won't he? Tell you whether he can hear the neighbors and how much. Also, if you both trust each other, you can save a lot of money by not getting a realtor. Single biggest expense when real estate is sold directly. You still need everyone else, just not the realtor.

I tend to go for the most power and capacity that I can afford, in an attempt to future proof, but that's more of a Windows mentality, because Windows software has a tendency to act like a liquid -- take up the form of its container. Apple software tends to have much better longevity (from everything I've heard), so I think you just answered your own question -- i7 and 8G, for battery life and lack of overkill. (i5 don't really take that much less power, they're just i7's that failed quality control.) And who knows, if you get garageband, you may want the extra power.

Didn't the first one have electric piano in like every song, or am I thinking of someone else?

yes -- since when do you not prefer meat?
