Guess my latest dumb FWP would be that I am an idiot when it comes to reading women's body language. Why do they stroke their hair back when you interact with them? Like when I left a generous tip for the barista at the local coffee joint tonight after I bought a lb of whole Kenyan beans, she did that stroke right when the transaction was completed. What does it meeeeaaaan

 

it means her panty situation was something like

lol there must've been a lot of pressure buildup in that tube. In the video of course.

just flirt with girls (if you're not taken) see how far down the rabbit hole you are taken.

 

The "being taken" part is never an issue for me. But I still gotta have finesse about it.

Indeed.

On the one hand, I've got a couple job interviews lined up, on the other I fucking dread job interviews.

Amber, if she played with her hair, fiddled with her zipper on her jacket or kept laughing at what you say - she diggin' it. Maybe not in a jump thy bones way, but I've found in my days of poon-hounding that it's a pretty sure sign.

Take her home... show her Exai

Everything will fall into place. If you play it, she will come..

Job interviews are the worst. I'm fairly good at them, I just hate promoting myself

"What would I consider my weaknesses? Nothing. I could crush you right now and then take your car home and fuck your wife. Three times. She'd love it. She'd say you never went three times, Bill. The fuck kind of a question is that? Gimme dat salary nao." - Will land you 99% of jobs out of pure respect. Trust me.

(p.s. props to anyone who picks up the reference above, great movie)

Once I had a girl messing with her hair constantly but it turned out to be just fleas

I always knew you had swag Audio. But as much as I love Exai, I'm kinda worried it would scare most of the ladies off. Guess I've been too much of a "lone wolf" to really make headway, but I'm not rushing it either.

Job interviews...man, it hurts me noggin just thinking about them. I think it's literally been more than seven years since my last one.

hinge on my new computer broke, now i have to use a 6 year old computer that may break soon, i have no idea

I just spent an hour trying to figure out a glitch that a client of mine is experiencing with her garageband file (the midi instrument sounds that she had worked tirelessly on reset to defaults... I think), and came up completely empty handed. She's very distraught. I thought for sure it would easy to find someone else with the same problem online, but if so, the magic google search phrase combo to find it was lost on me. I guess the whole thing did put me in a kind of zen mood. Maybe focusing on someone else's problem for a while was a worthwhile endeavour, even if it was a fail.

I have two weeks before I have to turn in my first draft of my bachelor's thesis. I know the subject, but I have not written anything and I am not sure what kind of theoretical and methodological underpinning I should use. I am gonna meet with the advisers tomorrow and I hope I have managed to gather enough material to start asking the right questions on how to proceed. I am sure I could write 15 pages or so for the first draft in 2 weeks or less, if I can get myself to sit down and actually do it, instead of procrastinating. How to avoid procrastinating. I know it would feel great to at least get a first draft done, because I have the rest of the spring to finalize the crap. FML

what's the subject?

It's in comparative religion, the theme is transhumanism and I am going to look at the thinking of the Terasem movement foundation, that have the notion that if you upload as much personal information in some databank, it could function as a good digital representation of yourself, even long after you are dead. In this of course is the idea that technology will keep advancing and eventually a far more accurate representation of a person can be created thanks to advancements in AI, hardware etc. Digital immortality and if the most outlandish dreams of these techno-utopian believers come true, the ability to upload/download ones consciousness into a computer and into a new body. There is a religious dimension in this Terasem, it has tenets and even some rituals.

The idea is that I would further elaborate on this thinking and see if this is a modern manifestation of old gnostic beliefs, where the body is seen as something bad and in the way of joining the godhead. But that's something I would explore in my master's thesis.

that is a cool subject.

That is a pretty cool subject.

My subconscious finally came up with its equivalent to Paul McCartney's Yesterday, and it's the most banal and offensive possible thing. Hilarious though. I have never laughed so much upon waking. But due to the offensive part (that makes it hilarious) I can't tell anyone what it is without them potentially taking it the wrong way in today's PC climate. In the dream it was a song that played at a punk rock show that I wasn't even at. But some dude was telling me about the show and mentioned the song, and I was like "oh yeah, I know that song." And when I woke up, I did.

Sounds cool! There's a new Werner Herzog documentary coming out about robots and AI and also apparently about people's relation with them. It might be interesting source material?

Idea: mods ban Azatoth until he shows his first draft

Also if you have to present your thesis in any other form than uploading digital files to a cloud server I will be disappointed

Will keep a look out for it.

I think I will need to drop out from the interwebs for a while, aside from research purposes..khrm...

the transhumanist god minds will be disappointed in you.

went for a late afternoon coffee with a friend and tried this new place on Kent. I don't know what the lady put in it but I have toooooo muchhhh energyyyyyyyyy. literally can't sit still. this is not nice.

Had a bit of a depressive episode, got blackout drunk, and lost my phone in a cab. So now I feel worse and I'm also sans a phone.

thought of a vocal harmony part for a song with three voices before bed the other day then forgot which song it was intended for and now I was just going to sleep and reviewing a song in my mind and an accompaniment for a section came up which is quite handy but I'll have probably forgotten what song it was so disgard it when I wake up just like the other day.

/"but dleetr couldn't you have spent the time you were whinging about this nonsense actually"

no you fools, it's bedtime and I've got to sleep, if I get up now I'll be fucking around and I've got to get up for work in just over four hours. easy come easy go, it is frustrating a little though, sure I'll think of other stuff but I'll never know how the song would have turned out had I continued with this direction in mind. ahh such is knife

I woke up with the bum bum song in my head
