Got 6 months free internet and cable for moving into my new place.  Torrenting at 17Mib/s right now

Just discovered that I can get sushi delivered to my place, never leaving again

Very jealous right now.

[Madrun Badrun]

I downloaded 'A Few Good Men' in less than a minute.  Only it was the Tom Cruse movie and not porn like I had expected. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Yes but this comes with 750 GB/month

I also got a free months rent and a free HDTV for moving in.  Shit is awesome. 

[Rufus]

Wow. So is this place haunted, or what?

The boxers I bought on Black Friday are amazing. No tags...this shit is amazing. Definitely going on my list of favorite 2013-2014 innovations alongside the Taco Bell dollar menu.

[Madrun Badrun]

Wow. So is this place haunted, or what?

Actually everything is brand new.  Has washer dryer and dishwasher too.

Down side is it is a really sketchy neighborhood; there are buildings that look the like low rises out of the Wire a block down, multiple people talking to to themselves on the street every day.  I was in a restaurant and a really dirty bum lady came in and asked everone for money, swore when people said no and then tried to steal out of the tip jar. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I just made the perfect bacon and eggs in a wok.  I made 10 pieces of bacon, so I could have left overs but ended up eating the whole thing. 

[Kara]

I pissed off a hipster bartender in a hipster bar* last night by telling them they were a heathen for trying to light the sugar cube accompanying my glass of absinthe on fire and then taught them the traditional method or serving absinthe.

*They had a sign in the window telling you to not enter the bar wearing a baseball cap and suggested that you wear a fedora instead. I wish I was making this up.

[nudemacusers]

go in sporting an expensive designer ballcap

i like the long tag on the back of my underoos, it tickles my ass when I walk

[Kara]

The thing is Esch, I saw 2 people inside wearing baseball caps so I correctly deduced that the sign was in fact ironic and not injunctive. The debauchery of hipsterdom, even the rules are insincere.

[Madrun Badrun]

Nah, hippsters are just too pussiefied to do anything about it.  I bet their facebook posts about the cap wearers expressed their sincere disdain for the head gear and the said attirerers.

'Sir, I have to ask you to leave or remove your cap' is a phrase no vest wearing bartender said to any baseball cap fan anywhere

[close]

[nudemacusers]

they could be wearing ballcaps for an MLS soccer team, the ultimate statement in irony.

[nudemacusers]

the autobots are kinda assholes tho. get all pissy when the gubment, very reasonably, wants to limit the country's exposure to an all out space robot war. and yeah they still give us peashooters despite being able to craft murder lasers out of scrap metal or whatever.

[Mr. Nobody]

Found a working pass to a site I thought was near impossible to crack 

Found another one to another site I could never get into before

Just saw my Mom off to the airport.

We also got news this morning that the insurance has paid the hospital for my stepdad's ICU and handling his remains, so that's done. 

Now I've got this week to enjoy the USA before going back to Japan.

[StealthFan]

Went to a wrap party with my gf tonight, and I met Josh Duhamel. I told him, "You killing a Decepticon with an assault rifle was pretty awesome."

And he said, "Yeah, but by the third movie, why are we even using assault rifles? They're like pop-guns to these robots. There's all this awesome tech and we don't get to use it. The Autobots are assholes."

And I was like 

I heard he was a cool dude.

[nudemacusers]

So at my company, someone got the idea to do a bunch of "organic" photo-shoots that they would post on the website. They'd shoot people in pairs or small groups just talking in various points around the facility.

My photoshoot was today. Not sure why they wanted to include an intern, but my name got on that list. And for whatever reason, I got paired up with a Senior Vice President (dude has direct reports who manage departments and are like four levels above where I'd be if they converted my job to full-time). The photographer wanted us to just act like we were talking naturally, so we got into a real conversation. Turns out I actually do know a fair bit about the energy industry at this point. The rise of solar and impending grid parity is a huge deal right now, but with the recent election it looks like the solar investment tax credit will probably be nixed (the WSJ basically runs an editorial every week about "picking winners and losers", the "Green Agenda", etc, and the Republican Congress is not renewing this thing), so we were talking about that and the implications, and I could tell the guy was impressed. I dropped the fact that I'm doing an MPP in addition to the MBA, and this SVP said I should email him to set up a lunch, and that he wants to introduce me to the company's policy group.

I feel like this was a pretty good W for me. Even if nothing comes of it, it was a major confidence boost.

cool stuff dude

tho i would probably cringe if I came across myself in a 'natural photoshoot' 

[Madrun Badrun]

set up a network between my pc and my mac.  This is so much easier than it was like five years ago.  Basically all I had to do was create a homegroup and then log into my pc from my mac.  Crazy.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I practiced a little more today. I'm still really rusty but I've practiced enough that some of the rust is starting to flake off. I was able to play a Tansman piece and Brouwer piece. Feeling the guitar vibrate against you as music pours out of it.

[CatsCatsCats]

Bought birthday cake Oreos

[G The Resurrected]

The evidence that I have eaten a whole rack of ribs. Yes that was my triumph of the day.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Started with this:




Then went onto this little beauty



And just finished off with this



Except I cut off the first movement because it wasn't originally part of the piece (so when I play it I start at around 1:27)

It went better than expected
 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Yeah, I don't care much for the flashy stuff. You want fireworks go to the piano or organ, guitar is all about expressiveness (to be fair the third piece is pretty flashy in the third movement)

As to the story. Nope didn't dream it. It's the villa lobos etudes 1-12.
He had written them for Segovia and Segovia said they were impossible and unplayable.
So villa lobos spent a year practicing in secret. Then the next year when Segovia came over for a dinner with his friends afterwards Villa Lobos pulled out a guitar and played all 12 of them in front of Segovia and his friends with I can only imagine is the biggest "F U" face. After that Segovia recorded a few (though I don't know if he ever played all of them)

Here's all of them here:


I had to learn all these in college (if you're going to be a performance major you practically have to)
None of them are easy (although 1 and 11 can be done with relative ease comparatively which is why you always hear these)

My favorite though is 12:


I still have nightmares about #10.

I’ve been with my Mom since October 16th, so it was about 7 weeks total. Everything is in-process for claims, it may take months to finalize. She’s in a good spot, and I’m feeling compelled to be back with my family for the turn to the New Year. You know how it is. Thanks for asking.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hang in there Chrono

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Got a new ride today. Hiding in my shop until I tell my wife. This may be moved to the struggle thread but fuck it, it's dddddddooooooooooooppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeee.



Sorry about image quality, my phone was in a minor dust storm at my shop this am.

[Pickles the Firecat]

The drought is over. Got my eyebrows threaded for the first time in almost two months. My face is properly framed 

[Madrun Badrun]

For those like me who don't talk to women

[team filler]

had to google that:

this dude has mr popo lips

[Phoenix Dark]

[Madrun Badrun]

Where is the video of someone getting their pubs threaded? 

[team filler]

asshole threaded 

[Phoenix Dark]

can it get rid of a widow's peak tho?

[thisismyusername]

This is the perfect response to a dude talking about getting his eyebrows threaded.

Perfect.

Oh come on, it's no different from shaving your eyebrows and plucking them.

Some people don't want a Indian Unibrow, Esch.

[Pickles the Firecat]

Brows frame your whole face brehs. Don't sleep on the effect properly groomed eyebrows can have on your look. And threading > waxing

[Madrun Badrun]

In terms of manliness plucking (without telling anyone you do)  > shaving > threading

Clearly there is a difference of empirical rank.

[Madrun Badrun]

hey hey no need to get mean regardless of what kind of chugger they are

[Pickles the Firecat]

In terms of utility:

Threading > Waxing

and plucking should only be done super sparingly, you could fuck up the shape of your brows really badly if you over pluck and you risk leaving your threader/waxer without a good idea of how your shape grows in the next time you see them. Only pluck if you're stuck between visits with a date or interview or something, then get reshaped.

Threading/waxing is mostly a preference things tho. But top tier Indian threading artists >>>>>>>>> any wax specialist.

Shaving and plucking yourself as a routine is the equivalent of doing your own lineup in the mirror brehs. Some real dustbowl era shit

[Madrun Badrun]

Certainly I don't pluck out of fear of confusing my threader. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I mean I could make Dijon just irritate with me and then you just know he'll gossip what I've done to all the other ladies.

America loves sports but hates gays.  I'll never understand you guys.

Used a public toilet to take a much needed shit. 

[chronovore]

Back in Japan! Only made it to 20:00 before passing out, and now I'm awake at 03:30, but I AM HOME!

Also: Back in the land of Washlet toilets! HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS...

[tiesto]

Made pulled pork in my slow cooker and got it to come out really tender. Successfully reduced the liquid in the pot to sauce consistency, then mixed that with some Sweet Baby Ray's to end up with an awesome sauce. I feel like I leveled up today, brehs.

Slow-cooker pulled pork with BBQ sauce, jalapenos and onions

Today was cool since we had our holiday party, playing Cards Against Humanity with my coworkers/boss was quite the experience! Also getting to drink beer at work was pretty fun too.

[Brehvolution]

It cost me 3 hour and $500, but I got 90% of xmas shopping done. If I don't have to wrap on xmas eve this year....
