stupid first world problems you're dealing with

lol. I never get tired of that gif.

My red limited edition copy of the Deftones' White Pony is degrading, and can't get a good rip of the first three tracks any more. And, I suspect, some other CDs might follow suit...

RIP White Pony + other optical media

^ I've got the black one around somewhere, it's been ruined for years.

my roomate will be moving out very soon and i'm excited because my landlord said i could have this place to myself ( 2 bedroom) for a good deal. he has since gone back on his word and decided to charge me more money. i'm pissed at him, but it's tsill a good deal so i'm staying here

walked a lot yesterday and now my ankle is crunkled. Or I slept on it funny.

I wanted to do all the productive things today, clean the flat and work on music. Now I'm in lots of pain and just hobbling from one room to the next.

is it inflamed? I fucked my right ankle going down some stairs, just two weeks ago. was one of the worst nights in recent memory actually. ankle's better but not 100% yet.

Just incredibly painful, managed a shower though and feel better now.

Yeah I've done this to myself before, it's when I go too hard with the walking. I walked for about 3hrs on Friday after work and another 3-4hrs yesterday.

Was fine when I woke up in the living room at 2am this morning and went to bed but I think I slept with it in an unnatural position.

And now I start a whole week of nightshifts from tomorrow night, fml.

well don't strain it further ya big dummy ice it and keep it relaxed and get some meds. or summat.

Just don't try to straddle along any sort of catwalks. Made that mistake in Japan when I was 23 and was limping for at least a week, after falling off and landing improperly. But I was younger and dumber back then.

I usually put tiger balm on my skin when my muscles are tender. I don't know what's in it or why it works but it does.

Look at getting some diclofenac gel. It's the active ingredient in Voltaren, but if you go to the doctor you can get diclofenac that is super strong. It's absolutely amazing, trust me. The worst muscle pain, tear, soreness, whatever... the prescription stuff is absolutely amazing.

I've had a small container for about 5 years from the doc, use it only when needed etc.

actually I might be referring to diclosan, not diclofenac. I think they're 1 and the same, depends on the substrate I think? errr... =/

diclofenac is definitely one of the things. I took it.

aarrrgh oh fuck. why am i still scared to use presets on my tracks? I always tend to start a new sound from the very beginning and that consumes my time and energy :(

Ouch jan... how's the ipod?

Anyway, my fwp: Ever since 2 years, I pretty much always wake up in the wee hours of the night because I have to take a piss; this is usually between 4:30 and 05:00. I think I rewired something in my adrenal gland in the summer of 2013, where I did quite a lot of psychedelics: I remember waking up after one night of tripping and feeling something different in my right kidney.

Almost contradictory, I also pursued a healthy life where at the heart a morning yoga routine lay. This routine required getting up between 04:30 and 05;00. I wouldn't be surprised if I wired those two together somewhere

This isn't too bad really; I just have to rearrange my day so that I go to bed early and wake up early too. Actually, this is what I have been wanting for a while now.

opening too many consecutive tabs in firefox, then it crashes, then wont reload the previous session after re-opening, then u have to go thru your own browser history with a fine toothpick to extract what u'll most prob miss anyway

not learning from it is an annoying habit in itself

Try doing a track with all presets, just for fun. There's nothing to stop you from tweaking/replacing all the sounds later. Tons of great records are swimming in presets, anyway.

Nice one, thanks!

My ipod recently died as well. So I upgraded my phone, which happened to be already covered on my tab (part of my cell plan)! It was was like I got to walk in to the shop and steal a phone, no jail time required. It still gets to be a FWP because the jack is too shallow to properly contain any pair of headphones in existence... which is baffling, but common among phones. So my headphones jut out about 4mm at all times, and even at max volume it's still pretty quiet. Albums mastered before '96 will be largely dissatisfying from now on... unless there is such a thing as a volume boosting adapter. And there probably is, I just haven't looked into it yet. Also, I'm hungry.

Yeah I feel your pain Jan. I've gone through 4-5 160gb ipods over the years. Always the hd.

My last one corrupted somehow, wiped itself. I only managed to put about ten albums back on it before it stopped talking to my laptop.

Now it's a glorified buddha box connected to some speakers in my bedroom. I use it to play Eliane Radigue every night to fall asleep to.

On-the-go listening is now phone based.

Apple need to pull their fingers out and do an ssd ipod classic for dedicated listening. None of this touch happycrappy.

I went through several ipods also, same issue as you spi always the hard drive.

So I ended up getting a modified 240gb ipod with a SSD instead, haven't had any issues yet!

Feeling jaded about the holiday season in general. Hyper-consumerism laden with pandemic stress, alcohol abuse, and family dysfunction.

Seems more trouble than it's worth anymore. Just glad I don't work in retail.
