Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
You're right. I just worry a lot about not showing what I can do, and I tend to struggle to find motivation to really put work into things I've not been interested in. And I tend to get pretty miserable if I'm just sitting there staring at a piece of paper with no good ideas (which has happened plenty of times before). Although I suppose I'd be more motivated if I had a deadline, and people who actually know what they're doing criticising my stuff... I think.
I'd be interested in seeing your coursework, it'd be useful to see what a First-earning bit of creative writing-ish stuff looks like.
I'm not on your lawn though. D: Just remembered from my vague wanderings in the FFRP section that NO was on its seventh thread, and put two and two together. And yes, it appears to be still alive!
Symphonic Melodic Post-Rock Progressive Shoegaze Depressive Suicidal Folk Black Metal? Whyever not!
And I gave that song a listen, nothing I can't do in there. It's just the recording part which is annoying, I have no real access to anything that can record drums... unless I can somehow wrangle use of the little drum roomy thing at college...
I guess anagram sounds similar to acronym, and they have kind of similar meanings... it would be easy to mix them up. Words are easy things to get mixed up with.cool avatar by araveugnitsuga

The alcohol is flowing, and the 1960s sci-fi is playing.
Good times, here I come.
Best part is that Little Sister's off the school tomorrow, and the Brothers go (Britland) college on Thursday.
Oh wow! That was terrible special effects. Awesome.

Meh. It's not that long.
Royal Albert Hall's a pretty cool place, speaking as someone who's performed there (And iust loves to show off about that).
That's fine. We'll iust have our own separate conversation for the people cool enough to read quotestorms.

It's a tough universe out there - full of people trying to do you, screw you, rip you off. If you're going to survive out there, you've always got to know where your towel is.

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
I was told last night that I've ben selected as an official for the National Finals weekend in two weeks time.
It won't be for one of the 'big' games, but I'm happy all the same, since this is only my second year officiating, and I've been thought of as good enough to warrant a spot as a finals weekend official.
It'll be for junior kitted 5-on-5 and for adult 5-on-5 flag, and will include a total of 6 games over two days.
I'm EXCITED!

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
Sounds like a good time. In a giant orange excited sort of way.
On another note has anybody picked up Brent Weeks' new book The Black Prism? I assure you it is just as good as his other books, The Night Angel Trilogy. And if you haven't read any if his books I pity you and demand that you go out and buy all four
But seriously go buy them. Now.

aaahh...
Bacon and poorly-mixed J-Pop.
A match made in heaven.
In other news; the power went out earlier, and with no rain in the skies nor thunder in my ears, I'm blaming the sod next door with the loud-as-demons bass playing for an hour straight. While I was trying to read, no less.
The power outage went a little like this; At first I was all 'AW now i has to find window,' but then I was all 'YAH now i can take out earplugs.'

I just finished the Night Angel Trilogy, so will second this. So awesomely amazingly great! I have not bought the new book yet, though will likely soon, and by soon I mean, after I do Iron Poet judgments and ink and color Zeb's new avatar, I will go upstairs, buy it on my kindle and start reading.

You have to understand that, if someone asks me to drum for them, I'm perfectly willing to drag half of my kit on the train across London to play. The experience is always worth the inconvenience. Well, it is for me, at least.
Besides, I could learn that song in about half an hour, no problems. [/showingoff]cool avatar by araveugnitsuga

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
So...I live in the Seattle area, and it's always been my secret suspicion that Grunge and Nirvana are more important here than anywhere else, because it has its roots here. I am personally not a huge fan of Nirvana, but I know a lot of people that are. My girlfriend and her friends are at Bumbershoot, and Hole is playing, and I'm being told about how bad Courtney Love is, and how much they hate her and such, and I don't fully understand. As far as I can tell, Nirvana as a band is a Big Deal. But I don't see every store on the corner selling Che Guevara-style Kurt Cobain shirts, and I don't hear about Nirvana songs being in Gossip Girl and such. As far as I know, that is because of the other two Nirvana members and Courtney Love.
Now, being a music enthusiast, I know Courtney Love is kind of crazypants, but that's true of a lot of musicians. If I remember my release dates correctly, the first Hole album came out before Nevermind, and was actually fairly successful, before Nirvana and Cobain were famous, so the Love-Cobain relationship wasn't important to either album's success. Shockingly, I've discovered that this dislike is not unique to people I know, but is in fact quite prevelant. Discounting people who think Courtney Love killed Cobain (because they are crazypants themselves), is there really a reason to dislike Courtney Love on the basis of liking Kurt Cobain and Nirvana?

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
I pretty much spent the last two days reading it, it's so good. Maybe not the best way to spend all of my time, but when I get into a good book I can hardly bring myself to put it down.
I shouldn't have expected that I would spend my time any other way when I walked into Chapters armed with $100 in gift certificates. Oh well, time well wasted. I have another day until university starts anyway, so I'd better get all the reading in that I can.

Auauaagh! Why must the teacher presenting our 100 points Project Work course talk to us as if we were 10 years old children? My intellectual facilities! They hurt! THEY HURT!
EDIT: She just introduced the moment called the "Blog Book"! Seriously, just call it a Log Book. It doesn't even involve the internet!
I really want to leave the room right now. Even my body agrees with me. I imagine miniature Damage Control teams running around inside my head to minimize the brain damage. Hell of a job, as far as I can tell.
Anyone's got any brain bleach in stock?

Dear Playground: Save me from ignorant people, who make claims such as
"No anti virus is the way too go. Slow's down PC performance for what, nothing. If you don't visit dodgy sites, or download dodgy s*** then you're in no-way going to get these virus"
and
"Why do you think some can pick up some virus' and others can't. Even when they're both 'quarantining'."
Yes, because quarantining really affects whether your antivirus picks up something or not

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
Long story short, no. And I've encountered people convinced that Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain and made it out to look like a suicide out on the east coast as well, so it's not like it's some kind of local urban legend, either, thanks to the wonders of the internet or something.
So, my advice to you is to try to avoid the topic of such things as much as you can if your girlfriend is that kind of girl.

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
How peculiar. That's probably a first, my good sir. Well, to me anyway. Rationality and music so rarely seem to go together even though ultimately it demands thought and feeling.
Too many people seem to think of music as some kind of headless, flailing beast or something. Quite confusing.
It is a nifty new avatar. Sorry if we made you uncomfortable or anything.

I've taken the day off today from my studies. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I'll probably be fine. I'll have plenty of time anyway to get the job done. Huzzah for laziness!
And I'll make up for it tomorrow, honest!

Weeeell, in fairness to your ancestor, I've read histories which have pointed out that those kinds of hunting accidents did actually happen a lot and no one at the time seemed to think it was suspicious, so maybe he was honest. Plus, by all accounts William Rufus was a **** king so maybe it was for the best.
I'm impressed by all you folks with Norman descent, or rather by the fact you know this. I can trace my family back all of about three generations and it's just full of working class criminals.

I want more coffee. But the coffee is upstairs. And I am downstairs away from all the boys.
How badly do I want more coffee?
EDIT: I suppose it's moot now, since one of them followed me downtsairs and keeps asking questions. *sigh* May as well go get more coffee...
EDIT again: Andre read my mind and brought me more coffee!!!Last edited by EmeraldRose; 2010-09-06 at 09:24 AM.

Re: KuReshtin's Vociferously Ruminating Harbinger of Random Banter - #147
Me, I just wonder whether Norman-descended types have any feelings at all about being called WASPs. I know being predominately Scottish in genetic provenance I always feel it's a bit odd that this term has come to seemingly mean "white people" in the U.S. as I've known almost no one of English descent.
About as far back as I can trace my lineage is to some guy who migrated to the U.S. from Scotland just in time to take up arms in the Revolution. That, and I know that my father's father's father's family got disowned after the Civil War for reasons that they were never quite able to ascertain.
Most of my ancestry that I know about was over here from pretty much the beginning of the U.S. if not colonization, so occasionally I'm jealous of those who are recently enough immigrated to have some knowledge of what the people who came overseas were like.
