stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I'm not denying it. It's just a little too accurate for comfort.

My band had the most morale crushing trainwreck at our gig last night.  We were the 2nd of 3 acts in the lineup, everything fine through the first two songs, then we get to the 3rd (a waaay-altered Cure cover that we've probably practiced 300+ times and have been gigging out for the last 2 years) and someone's IN THE WRONG FUCKING KEY.  Our female vocalist and myself (drummer) just look at each other in horror and after 8 or 10 bars I/we call uncle and just stop.  Doesn't help that the neither of our front ppl have the kind of stage presence to laugh it off, joke with the audience, etc. so the awkward silence is palpable.

 

Then we restart and whoever was in the wrong fucking key is still in the wrong fucking key, only this time there's no stopping, only 3-1/2 minutes of pain and embarrassment. As this point I wanted to kick over the kit, destroy every guitar and bass onstage and walk out into the ocean.  And we still had like 9 songs left.

Oh no :(

Did you figure out who it was? Did they get a stern 'talking to' afterward?

 

Just yell the following at your band mates, verbatim:

 

Heh excellent. Rich must've inspired this character:

 

 

Wow. I'm the one who's upset now

that's a great movie if you haven't seen it.. "Whiplash". i finally watched it a few months ago.  

fwp:

i don't want to go to a thing out of town that i'll probably end up having to go to.

I don't really have much of a social life anymore (lol, +10,000 watmm points) but went for a rare night out last night and had a great time, but hangovers absolutely slay me these days. Was in bed 'til near 5 this evening, proper all-day affair. I get really puketacular hangovers where I'll just be heaving up bile which, according to Google, is a sign of having low alcohol tolerance. Who knew. Makes me glad I don't really drink much these days but fucking hell, when I do, boy do I pay for it the day after. 

Need another band name for a duo, but despite having very similar taste in most things, my bandmate and I seem to share no taste in names.  And we have pressure to come up with one for promotional purposes (from a promoter who's setting up a US tour for us next summer).  It's so much harder than it should be.  Any time there is a name we both like, it's already taken by someone else on bandcamp.

I ate a Reuben sammich for lunch and now I'm going to be controlling farts for the entirety of this meeting.

Got some pop-up notification from Microsoft Edge (formerly Internet Explorer) saying something like "we're 62 percent more effective at fighting malware than Firefox" or some bullshit. Fuck off Microsoft. I'll take Firefox over The Artist formerly known as IE any day.

win10 in general is p obnoxious about telling you how wonderful it is.

I've had Win 10 for over a year now, but last night was the first time I'd seen that pop-up. IE has always been the least impressive of web browsers. MS Edge is merely new paint as far as I'm concerned.

AFAIK it's almost entirely re-coded from the ground up (at a minimum they threw out all the code that was still in IE for backwards compatibility, might have reused the rendering code for the standards compliant stuff). It's not bad, renders pages very fast, has ad blockers and other extensions finally (including LastPass), has excellent javascript performance, a bit crashy though. I saw that popup once, when I went to change the default browser to Chrome, 'wait are you sure you want to change? I'm awesome', it told me. still not good enough for me to consider changing from Chrome, but not far off. I only use Firefox for it's javascript debugging, has always been a massive memory hog.

Details are mundane even for the srupid wfp thread, but basically the lab at my doctor's office fucked up my blood work (imagine yakety sax meets a "you had one job" meme), so first thing tomorrow morning I have to call them up and yell at someone for wasting my time.

I just heard someone in this cafe I'm sitting in say, "omg, I just love juice". It made me sad.

Are you sure it wasn't jews?

Has your subscription expired? Browser settings?

If you can't do anything or look at anything how did you type this FWP in this FWP thread?  

Got a deadline for some PhD stuff tomorrow and made the foolish mistake of spending weeks doing loads of reading but not a lot of writing... cue a stressful few days with today the worst of 'em. But the bulk of it is done now and I've just to add a few finishing touches in the morning before sending it off. I'm only a few months in to it; taking today as a salutary lesson in needing to write as I go along rather than letting it all build up. So fws after all? Who knows.

you'll do the same thing next time, though certainly my case. god I hate writing.

In reply to Bulk Vanderhooj ( top notch name by the way),

Can't quote anything as it will sign out before i can write a reply.

My subscription has not expired, have no clue what browser settings are.

i persisted on signing in to this thread until it accepted what i have written. After that it was off again.

Hmm... I wonder what it is.

I've flagged your message for the mods + joyrex in case you're not able to do so yourself.

Woke up this morning with back pain

When I don't stretch out my hips, my back becomes a useless pile of cow turds. It's a first world problem because I couldn't ride my bike to work so I drove.

http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR663.loop.shtml#skip .. gonna have to unplug every before bed. Doesn't look as bad as yesterday's was which had some hail, thankfully we weren't right under the thunderhead for that one.

Will be broke again in a few days, but I'll survive to next payday. Been thru this bullshit too many times tho.

The music video for "Robert De Niro's Waiting..." was directed by Duncan Gibbins and shows Bananarama walking around dark streets, possibly followed by mafia-style clothed men. When it gets to the bridge part of the song, Bananarama member Sara Dallin is shown running along, looking behind her as if being followed: As the video winds down, Sarah and the other two members of Bananarama, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward, are back in their apartment, when the door bell rings. Keren answers the door, only to be confronted by the man who might have been chasing them, armed with a Mafia-style violin case. As she looks nervously at him, the case falls open to reveal a sign saying "Pizza Delivery", along with three pizzas. Both the man and Keren start laughing, and the video ends with Bananarama in their apartment eating the pizza and laughing.
