I might have to bust out my Gamecube and play some Spyro

I wish I had a game-cube growing up, a lot of the good games that were out were always the ones that you played with a friend like Wind Waker, thankfully the Wii supports them.

Waking up past 3pm is a huge "fuck you" to motivation. Guess I'm doing everything I put off today tomorrow, now. Fuck...

[TrishaCat]

I've gotten several compliments on my hair the past few days. It's makes me happy, but confused because every single time it's a black chick.

What does it mean.

It happens to me too sometimes.

One time I was walking to Burger King and this girl walking my way with a couple of her friends stopped me and asked if she could touch my hair. Its weird man.

EDIT: I just noticed that was posted several days ago. My bad. Just clicked the thread and it took me to a previous page.

Don't put off till tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.

The way GIMP handles spacing in custom brushes is really annoying.

Wait, are there other ways to order pizza?

Yes! I've always done it by phone, but I found out  you can order them online now. How fancy ~

My pizza also arrived without issue. Hallelujah!

Going for my driving licence test tomorrow, the nerves are real man.

I managed to talk to a stranger today and I didn't freak out or mess up. Today is gonna be a good day.

I hung out with Calix today. It was good.

I mean how fucking cool is this.

I made fish and pumpkin pot pie like in kiki's delivery service yesterday and it was actually delicious. Can't understand why the girl in the movie wasn't happy to receive it.

Someone asked me if Rolfe and Beach Bear were gay last period.
Do you know how tempted I was to say yes?

[Wolflich]

I guess not very because I mean why wouldn't you?

[Ginpanther]

I kept my lunch in my stomach after I ate.

Today was a good day.

[grassfed]

My medical shop had a $45/2oz deal today. I'm set to be pain-free for the next couple of weeks.

what the hell? that sounds too cheap, is it any good?

[evan]

was gonna post this on facebook because i keep getting "well, i thought it was good" as a reply to when i feel have shit performances of things, and it's to the point where there is massive dissonance between what i feel should be done about it and what they think about it. i don't want to have to deal with people trying to argue with me on facebook who think i'm just too self deprecatory to fucking think straight (i may be close, but i know the difference between self hate and what i care about, and this isn't fucking it) so i'm just going to relieve some stress and spoiler tag it here...

sometimes music isn't about the audience. 

sometimes it's about you.

at some point you either know the audience will like the piece, or that you have a good chance of meeting their standards. so then you have to ask yourself; do i have to feel like i'm below a certain standard of musicianship if i don't play this piece perfectly? no, nononono.

however.

you play enough, and you realize you aren't playing for the audience. play for a big enough crowd and the whole value of a crowd reception starts to diminish; you may have entertained the crowd, but what does that really mean? if we can never really assume that you have control over what goes through their heads, does it really matter?

and then the dangerous question;

who are you playing the music for?

as a musician, you learn to hear things. things that are just frankly outright fucking stupid. "this note is out of tune, this note is slightly out of balance," things that make you want to tell the speaker to fuck right off. and yet, what happens those notes are perfect, when you hear -exactly what is in your head?- when there is no restriction from you getting to not only hear exactly what you wanted to hear, but to also be experiencing it? a thing people forget a lot is that when we as musicians get stuck trying to get the music off the page and struggle to do so, we're not listening anymore. we're trying to get the mechanics to work, to just barely get past the challenges. we're not hearing ourselves.

a performance of a piece doesn't have to be perfect. but if you want to give it meaning that matters to YOU, it needs to be YOURS. not a matter of walking away saying "i did it", or "it's over now", but "this was my music that i went out and played". when you have a performance that is bad to YOU, then you should be okay to dislike it. maybe others disagree, that's fine. but that's not what this is about, is it? they aren't trying to hear what you are, they want to hear "good music". if you can deliver that much, it doesn't matter if you left the music you want to hear at home, you can give out something you hate and still have people love it.

does it have to be perfect? no. but what does it mean to not play what you're trying to hear in a piece, to know that what you see as beautiful was not what you just created? ask yourself that.

A little acetone processing and it's beyond awesome.

Acetone? Why not 190proof grain alcohol? Acetone would be one of the last solvents I'd use to extract. Just purge it like no nobody's business

[grassfed]

Acetone boils off at 133F and is something your body naturally produces, believe it or not, it's a great organic solvent, better than MEK or Ethanol. You get it ultra-cold, rinse your stuff for 10-15 seconds, run immediately through a super-fine (5-10 micron) filter and squeeze everything out directly onto a hot plate set at ~160F. 30 minutes later it's clean, no purge required. I use a 1950's Salton Hotray warming tray for my hot plate.

Very clean. Lab-tested no contaminants.

Definitely do everything frozen or it'll be chlorophyll city haha. I started out doing alcohol washes like 3.5yrs ago and did everything in the freezer. Some of it was quite good but never really came close to some properly dewaxed BHO. Light hydrocarbons seem to do a better job at pulling the terpenes/flavinoids than alcohol or acetone(although I've only done an acetone extraction once) and they're non-polar so you don't really get any chlorophyll unless your material has too much moisture in it. Not to mention, a boiling point about 100 degrees lower. Its one of my specialties  

 

Have you tried the Rosin tech yet? Can make some really fire oil and no solvents necessary. Although yields can be a hit or miss depending on moisture content of your nugs and how much resin they have. Some people still yield 20%+ with flower rosin and I've even seen 50%+ yields when pressing kief or bubble hash.

I would like to take this time to inform everyone that the technical plural of penis is "penes", and it rhymes with "weenies". You're welcome.

[Alexxx-Returns]

I've had this cough for a month now, and at night particularly, it gets quite nasty and violent. Thanks to this, something odd has happened. Either the muscles responsible for coughing have gotten fucked up and won't work, or my brain has forgotten HOW to cough.

So now, when I cough, it comes out as some weird ass fake-sounding "aheh...aheh..." Instead of a cough. It takes ages to remember how to cough properly. This is kinda scary. I'm hoping the cough goes away soon so my body/brain can recover.

Have you seen a doctor about it? Having a cough for that long is cause for concern

You need to see a doctor about that, if you haven't already. I don't think a cough is supposed to last for long than a week or two, depending on the severity of the cause.

I just had 2 colds in a row, that's all. I'm living with 11 other people and they're all full of cold as well.

I guess so =c

Anytime I find myself extremely tired and decide to get a cup of coffee, I just get really tense and feel extremely uncomfortable. Something about the combination of caffeine and sleep depravation bring about the worst amount of discomfort. I keep doing this to myself too; staying up all night studying for a test, and then doing this and then feeling terrible before and during the test, so much so that I can't focus since I'm too preoccupied with the amount of discomfort I'm feeling. My arms and hands feel really tense.

I have a test in an hour and I feel dreadful.

The best solution is to spend more daytime and less nighttime studying and just get more sleep.

[Sutekh_the_Steak]

Just try powering through it and doing the best you can, I guess. That's what I do when I'm sleep deprived and need to do a test or something.

Hey which files would I look for if I wanted to, say... save my current story? You know, after the genocide run I wipe it all but want to make the game return to that happy ending. Without genocidal residue I mean haha. (What files remind the game of your sins?)

[I found this utility], but I have no experience with it, and can't say anything about the legitimacy of it.
[This is what I found] about scrubbing the taint from the file.

But either way, I dunno if the geno taint will "stick" without completing it to the very end and selling your soul to the Fallen child.
I haven't done it yet, myself.
So if you want to just fight Sans and / or Undyne, just do those and quit playing?

For some reason I feel like I want to write something. I have no idea why though because I really can't write for shit.

I'm at the anime club at my school and we're having a Halloween party and a bunch of people here are dressed up in furry attire, with one in a full on fursuit and its making me very uncomfortable ironically enough. I've always found most fursuits to be really creepy looking and I don't like being super outward about furry stuff, especially at non-furry related things, so seeing people do this at an anime club meeting is really....uncomfortable. I'm an officer of the club so I've gotta be here.
