^So this was cool. But I just bought a $250 World War II rifle and pistol sound library for a project. God fucking damnit.

Welp, returning my brand new turntable to the after-sales service. I accidently broke into pieces of the package's polystyrene blocks, so I'm not returning all of this in a very neat way. I hope they won't be a bitch to me.

I just cooked up the flesh of my left thumb.  It hurts.  Don't do it, watmm.   Pain is bad.

But how does it taste?

Beat me to it, lol

Tastes like blister.

in university and it just feels like a big waste of time and only a benefit to those who were already in a place of privilege to begin with, but i have to do it because my mom already sank a bunch of money into it

also i feel like i might've been an asshole accidentally to someone over the phone but i don't really want to bring it up because i feel like i'd be a clingy nuisance

also i started making songs but i keep putting off finishing them because what's the point of making new music when better music already exists ::((((

You're never too old to apologize

One of my professors has all the students in our class designing a proposal for a postcard mailer for an event a local organization that represents many print companies is holding... It's a real client and should they decide to use our design that'd be great to put on a resume but...

The ladies who are our clients are absolutely awful though. They may work for a company that represents other print and graphics companies, but these two are very clearly not visual people. Their suggestions to all of our design revisions are just awful, my design is now nowhere near where I was hoping to go with this, and frankly after following their input I think it looks pretty damn stupid (my final proposal may not even be the one they pick anyway...). Definitely not my proudest work.

They also, gave us an email of what they want to include on the back of the postcard... The card is a 5" x7"  and they wrote out practically an entire letter. They also expect logos of various companies sponsoring the event to fit as well... I repeat on a 5 x 7. There's no way to fit all this and make it readable.

Because it's essentially an assignment for a class, I haven't really been able to give any feedback on their awful suggestions, it's more just "yeah okay, sure"...
I'm so sick of this assignment/client.

 

^^^^ do it your way. learn to tell clients no in a way that makes it sound like it was their good idea. or come up with one reason for each of their suggestions that sounds like market tested science.  

i have a folder of rough mixes. versions of things.. and i forgot which ones i liked because i forgot to put the ones i liked in a "finals" folder.   and i have 11 more songs to mix all of sudden and most of them are things for my own enjoyment but i'll probably spend a lot of time mixing them because.

errr, the fucking London tickets were for RFH members only at first. So a very kind watmmer bought me some with his membership.

I messaged him yesterday but he hasn't been online since 13th of October and only has 6 posts since he joined.

I still haven't found them.

You pet em inside a book / magazine / vinyl sleeve or something where they're 'safe'...?

Yeah check your Holy Bible

It seems like I've been cleaning and restringing my acoustic guitar for hours.  This would probably be a half hour job for a normal person.

Aaaaaand one of the pegs went missing.  Insert an hour of me bumbling about the room looking for a peg before giving up and grabbing one from a different shittier guitar.
