Cheers to that!

Newbury Comics -- I was there, many an age ago, but...pretty sure that was after 'Til Tuesday, so...no Aimee Mann... Yeah, I really dig the new Pallbearer, too. Will have to give Antoine Dufour a listen. My favourite acoustical player is Tommy Emmanuel. And I saw Michael Hedges once, live.

Unholy carp! How did this not go like all the other arguments we had with "newbies" (because I have this theory that many of them are the same person -- a conspiracy of one as it were) so quickly? I feel thwarted. Guess I'll have to go pick on someone else now.

What, you think just because you stand up to someone that makes you a hero? No, it just makes you a drunk, or high. Not all authority is wrong. You probably voted for Trump, too.

Dammit, -10 reading comprehension points for me.

This might be the most important thing I've ever seen. I highly recommend everyone watch this. EVERYONE. There is no-one that won't be affected by it. And yes, I include Al, Dan, Jacob, Brent, and our multi-personality troll. EVERYONE.

Bastards!

"What do you think this is, some kind of joke?"

Unholy carp, this is devastating. Anyone who has teenagers, is thinking about having teenagers, or who has ever been a teenager needs to watch this. I totally knew people like this. I was quite a bit more oblivious than Clay, but probably did just as much damage, if not more. Fuck. Being a teenager is hard enough, I just can't imagine what it would be like to be a teenager in this day&age.

You think?

Condolences, HS, and eventual cheers.

13 Reasons Why (my sister did costuming)

Happy birthday, cat whisperer! (party favour noise)

Everyone does.

Soen, Lykaia https://soen-sweden.bandcamp.com/album/lykaia RIYL: Katatonia since Tonight's Decision; recent (clean singing) Opeth, but would like to hear them more atmospheric gothic metal; the last Leprous album, The Congregation

Happy birthday, Duggeh! (party favour noise)

I'm a Win7/Win10 guy...mostly (really, a Linux guy who is circumstantially force to use Windows). I find Win10 perfectly tolerable once I shut off the default look&feel. I never got that with Win8, but then it was my understanding that the person responsible for that universally despised OS lost his job for that.
