When i have free time I want a job but when I have a job I want free time. 

Yep. That's what we call duality. The world we live in.

I was at an 8 hour meeting today. I hated every second of it.

ugh

Never fun.

Did they at least cater a decent lunch?

My company usually brings in a good lunch. Doesn't make up for hours of line item budgeting but meh.

Was in the middle of an online survey about protein products (shakes, bars, powders, etc) and to a question regarding where said products in a store can be found, I answered, "The area where you find fuel to become the almighty vanquisher of evil minions." As soon as I clicked the next page button, I was disqualified. Oops.

Bear in mind these surveys are based on random selection, as I have no way of knowing their content before proceeding.

i was posting memes and got called to dinner by the GF 

I've got some sort of lower lumbar injury or something. Pain shifts from my back to my hamstring to my glute.

I twisted my ankle on the shitty busted up sidewalk half a block from my apartment building and I keep getting freaked out that I broke it again.

Every day I download more music despite the fact that I already have 100+ hours of unheard downloads.  I don't know when I'm going to get around to hearing it all.  To make matters worse, the idea of revisiting the Vsnares discography just occurred to me.  Life was so much simpler before torrents became a thing.

Music went from being a scarcity to an abundance of riches in less than a quarter of an average lifetime.  Our ancestors didn't have to deal with this shit

For real though. "Ooh Orange Milk released like 7 new albums! ... Orrr I'm listening to every Analord and Bubblebath again."

I've been trying to work through the Datach'i back catalog for a month.

It's madness.  And I'm at a stage where I even want to hear all the music that was historically influential, even if it's something I wouldn't be that into.  Like "I should really hear some Eagles albums" or Justin Bieber or whatever the fuck.  But it's hard enough finding time to hear the music I love, let alone all the stuff that confounds me.

I have reason to believe Big Brother is monitoring my online activity. Sometimes when I post a comment about Trump on FB the page quickly scrolls upward. Even on this message board the site page turns black in the browser window when I'm reading a thread about Trump.

Hell, maybe this post will get deleted by an outside party somehow.

Yea I do this a lot. You'd be surprised at how much stuff you'll like even if you think you won't be that into it. Theres a reason why some albums stick around forever

My tastes are quite eclectic, so I can usually find something to appreciate about any music I spend a bit of time with.  I'm often more surprised when I find something that truly bores me, heheh.  It does happen though.

FWP: attempting to do the thing I hate doing the most, writing a bio to hype my music up to record labels.  I've been forcing myself to the task for over half an hour now, and I've only got an opening sentence to show for it.  On the upside, The Ohio Players album Pleasure has been an excellent albeit ironic soundtrack to my most hated activity.

bought a new pair of soft/fluffy towels. had a shower, dried myself off, lint all over my balls. jump in the shower to wash it off, forget and dry off with the same towel, lint all over my balls.

My bathroom is covered in fucking blue lint from new fluffy towels. Bane of my life.

I see no problem here

Client from hell wants me to do some mix work.  He already hired a hotshot producer from LA to do it, and was unhappy with the result, but the problem is the material that's being worked on.  I know there's no way he will ever sound like the rock star he imagines himself to be, and that he will never understand that.  I know he's going to want certain aspects of his mix to sound like what the other guy did (drum triggers and whatnot), and will be micromanaging in insane ways that will only hurt the end result.  Then he won't understand why it sounds like a mess.  Nice guy, but man... intensely delusional.  I know this is going to be a fiasco.

EODS 1-9

today Ae was a bunch of stuff at 33rpm... slowed down.. yeesland, the we are r y .. krib.. lexis... etc.. and i was well into ep7 (at normal rpm) when a stink tweeker came in and wanted to touch everything and reconnect with some part of his past non homeless life when he made beats and didn't talk to himself.. he thought he was in a studio and was jamming on stuff and tweeking and touching every knob button etc..  ended up having to chase him out after a half hour or so when he got a bit too animated for my comfort level. and was talking to himself and over powering the scent of the 3 incense i'd lit.

I bet he had lint all over his balls.
