Am I right to be kinda annoyed by that?
This was a weekly practice in college for my friends. Then at some point in the following week we'd get a bitchin remix, complete with a sweet bass line and all the most embarrassing snippets strung together.

Is it the kind of friend you can trust to destroy the recording or guard it as one might guard a phylactery?
I have a feeling he might use said recording as a cheap party gag.
Was it "seriously discussing the merits of one Street Fighter character over another" type drunk conversation, or "I killed a man just to watch him die" type drunk conversation?
Speaking of cats, the little orange cat was waiting at my door this morning. He started crying plaintively as soon as I opened it. I guess that he recalled me drying him off and cuddling when it rained this weekend.
I will admit that I actually stood there for a bit, as if he understood English:
Desc: Sorry buddy. Not today. I have to go to work!
Cat: Meow!
Desc: if I don't go to work, I'll have to live on the street!
Cat: meow!

Ishmael secretly began keeping the little blue pills he picked up at the Apothecary in the phylactery he wore around his neck. Morning prayer had never given him such a rise until that day.

Just do it! It'll be the best laptop you've ever owned!
Be sure to get the matte and high res screen options. All the other upgrades you can leave off and do later. HDD and RAM replacement on those machines is dead simple.

I made my remixes with Garageband but any beginner DAW software should work. I don't know of any that match Garageband in terms of price ($0) and super easy usage on a PC though.

Nice, RMS.
I'm supposed to officiate a friend's sister's wedding next year. I thought it was a joke when they suggested it, but apparently my name is starting to appear in scrapbooks! It all started because I mentioned that I'm an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church.
I'll have to ask my parents to take some pictures, because I didn't think to take my camera.

What's the size/extra charge for the SSD? You might be better off snagging a little 2.5" drive case and something off Newegg.

I might post this over in the man-child thread but right now I am more just musing so I'll stick it here.
My life has (though circumstance not planning) been one much more like the ideal held up in the article in the OP than that of a "man-child". I stopped receiving any economic support from my parents at 17. Had a kid just after turning 21. Been in a monogamous relationship for nearly 15 years now. Worked like hell to go from nearly being on the street (along with my family - we came damn near the edge several times when the boy was a baby) to now making a hell of a lot of money with lots of future prospects.
But despite that, I actually empathize far more with these man children than with an Irond Will-esq caricature of 1950s suit-wearing Manhood. And I think they, or something like them, are by necessity much more the Man of the future than any past ideal.
Having done exceedingly well for myself during a period of general economic horribleness I think the second most important factor for success in the US (the first is, as always, being born or marrying into the upper class) is to retain a child-like quality of mental plasticity. The willingness and ability to learn new skills quickly is far more important than the sum total of skills a worker has at any given moment. We live and work in a dangerous and constantly changing environment where rapid adaptation to change is absolutely vital.
And the ideal of a steady, reliable, suit-wearing, god-fearing, Ward Cleaver style family man who works for the same magnanimous corporation for years on end is one utterly doomed to failure in such an environment. I would rather put forward an ideal of a Man who retains and even revels in the child-like ability to learn and deal productively with destructive change. If the side effects of this are an equally child-like demeanor and wardrobe then the tradeoff is still very worthwhile.

it is $90 for the 128gb (student discount! SHH!), and right now OSX only supports TRIM with the BTO SSD's, so there's a definite benefit
I'm worried about space but I think if I need more I might buy one of those optibay things and put the 500gb hard drive out of my current pos dell in place of the cd drive

Ableton Live is probably the novice PC user's best bet. I say that partly because I know like real professional musicians who like make money and shit who use it, and partly because out of all the DAWs I've tried it's the first one that didn't make me feel retarded.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Pics? There have to be pics, you know?

In this context "pimp" is a superlative.
Nobody's ever asked me to officiate nuffin', though, even though I would be rad, so that is awesome for you.

it was about shel silverstein and how one of my friends thought he looked like a black man in his photos

Totally stealing my thunder.
I'm guessing you're getting the new one. I'm loving my ipad1 so far (all of 24 hours); seriously wish i'd had the the cash to get this months ago.

Yeah. But don't worry, you'll still have your thunder for about a month. ;-)
