going through some shit right now

I've been a webcartoonist for exactly ten years today.

Gonna go stare at my reflection in a bottle of Jack now.

I've been a corporate cubicle drone for 11.5 years. You've left more of a mark on the world than I could ever dream of.

Unless you count the psychological torture of AlkalineDrown.

as long as your real name isn't Fred Gallagher, there's nothing to be ashamed of

I've been sneezing nonstop for 6 hours, now blood is coming out.

^allergies?

i scratched my eye quite badly in my sleep a few nights ago because of hay-fever

no permanent damage thank fuck

I have seasonal allergies but I don't think that's the problem. I think my nose hairs are just growing out of control and causing irritation that's setting off sneezing fits at work and in the car on the way home at night. Finally bought a trimmer and tried it out this morning before work. Is it important to read the directions or watch tutorials on this stuff before using it? I think I might have butchered my nasal passages with it or done something I shouldn't have. It seemed to make things worse for the rest of the day.

maybe the chopped-up hairs went up your nose after you trimmed? I'd attempt some sort of nasal douche after trimming.

i've been on Mizollen for my dust allergy for 13 years now but even that can't deal with the perfect storm of dust and pollen.

Possibly not. I'm usually pretty well hammered when I do something as wild as change my avatar, so I can't quite recall where I found this particular photo. I do occasionally visit the TermBo photo thread, so not outside the realm of possibility.

It's absolutely pissing it down at the moment. I fully realise that I hail from a country where it rains 1/3rd of the days, but we've been going through an extended dry spell and this is far from a minor drizzle.

Hope that shit ain't working its way north. Been beautiful in Lincoln.

I love the rain. One of the good things about Pittsburgh imo, in like the top 5 rainiest cities in the US or something.

But in the spirit of the thread, it does really limit my shoe options when it rains so much like it has been today.

i can't possibly understand this opinion

a rainy atmosphere can be a great one, but rain isn't something that needs to be enjoyed in volume

My bowels won't stop churning.

Hey, me too. IBS in overdrive all day.

Unfortunate moment to see your new avatar for the first time.

Finally finishing Project Digitize 2013.  Downloaded all of the hard CD's and digital files to a consolidated external hard drive hooked up to an airport.  And yet 12 of my 3207 albums didn't make it, either because the CDs were scratched, or there was some other sort of file read error.

I bought these records.   

 I don't want to buy them again.   

My list of the unreadables started at 32 titles.  I found many of these online wading through the barren 4shared-filestube landscape.  But now I'm hitting dead ends. I am obsessive-compulsive about my collection and keeping it complete.  But I don't want to have to buy these titles a second or in some case third or fourth time. These artists have enough of my record-buying money already.

Any leads on:

Peter Gabriel "Security"
Public Enemy "Fear of a Black Planet"
Pantera "Far Beyond Driven"
Bob Marley "Live at the Roxy: Disc 2"
Helmet "Born Annoying EP"
John Adams/ Steve Reich/ Phillip Glass "Grand Pianola"
The Sundays "Static and Silence"
System of a Down s/t
John Coltrane s/t Blue Note
Third Bass "The Cactus CD"
J. Boogie "Live in the Mix"
Stevie Ray Vaughn "Couldn't Stand the Weather"

... appreciated. PMs  Links  anything...  I'll eventually go down to Amoeba and try to score used copies, but maybe some of these are LOPPable?

pretty sure slsk would take care of most every single one of those

Slsk...wow, just...wow.  Apparently you can teach an oldster new tricks.  I was like a kid in a candy store this weekend.

I don't know why it wasn't postulated before but members-only Ninja Turtles Fan Forum 1 and here are both logical extensions of the bluebird chat room aren't they?

i remember back when the Internet started and Soulseek was terrible because there were never enough seeders to download anything. i would leave mine on for days at a time trying to grab obscure songs from movie soundtracks.

i almost never use it now that it's actually incredibly useful.

I've spent all day lying in bed, my mind racing through similar narratives to those you'd experience in a dream except I'm completely wide awake and can't seem to drift off at all. Also having mild visual hallucinations, which is absolutely bizarre since I haven't used any substance other than alcohol for such a long time.

I don't feel good.

I've only been living in a new country for a week and a half and my freshly purchased laptop's already been stolen. Fucking krauts.

Please tell me you had lopp2 bookmarked on it.
