I found a centipede in my house while i was mopping the floor so i smashed it repeatedly with my sandal while yelling "sorry".

Haha omg I was in the river last year and I was wearing sandals that had Velcro straps. I'm not sure how I didn't feel it but some unlucky bastard of a little fish got his gills stuck in an exposed bit of Velcro hooks. As we were heading back to the car, my sister screamed "a fish is stuck to your sandal!!" but we were already a fair distance from the water. His suffering was great I'm sure so I said "hey, turn your head" to my sister, peeled him off the strap by pulling his tail and mashed him into oblivion with repeated blows while chanting "sorry buddy" just like yek. My sister was howling. It was so hideous hahaha.

not my proudest wank^

I put more than minimum effort into a post in the 'albums recently listened to' thread in the hopes that Zephyr_Nova would check out the album I posted.

 

The Tom Hang one?  I'll check it out at some point.  This is the problem though - there's already a list of 100+ albums for me to get around to.  But I'll budge it ahead in line.  Still need to give NTS a third listen.  So many FWPs.

I've been awake since saturday and earlier I was fighting to stay awake until at least 9 tonight so I don't completely fuck my sleep schedule before work tomorrow but now it's past 10 and I'm all awake and pointlessly webbing innerly. Awake.

I’ve been in Japan for the past 21 days and tomorrow I have to fly back to Canada and the real world. :(

To be fair chen, Canada is one of the better places to live. It's actually my fall back plan (or Ireland). 

Except for Vancouver and the Islands, it’s cold as fuck in the winter, there’s way too much snow, and Canadian service levels are abysmal.

Roads in Ottawa remind me of roads in a third-world country.

Also the Canadian dollar is shit ass weak right now.

 

Seriously considering starting a new career (again) in Japan. And no, this is not first blush romance, I’ve visited Japan around 25 times. I’m aware of the downsides.

 

The problem is of course I’ll be 45 this September, and I don’t really want to give up my career/pension. Who knows. Fuck it, I’m going to movement in a few weeks, so I won’t give a shit.

that's why you have canals in ottawa and skates. in winter you can skate the canals to commute to work. it's totally reasonable. 

No canal available for my commute. Also skating in a suit not my idea of a good time.

Listening to the song Cornucopia by Black Sabbath and the guitars are too quiet, vocals are too loud.

*Also, no mention of the song Changes' chorus being used as the theme song for Big Mouth on the Wikipedia page.  Very SFWProblematic imo.

i need a drink

Just made my first wikipedia edit to rectify this.  "Publish Changes" button made me chuckle (but not really, I just politely appreciated the pun).

-see "cover versions" towards bottom.  That last sentence is my handiwork.

I can’t get my new studio to sound correct. The bass is completely gone and I have no idea what i’m doing when I’m eq’ing. Plus, all my old mixes sound like ass and I know they actually don’t. So tomorrow I’ll have to bring a lot of it back to my old studio so I can get some work done.

get a different job.  put your suit in a bag. change at work. or just stop going and skate the canals.  you could be canadian forest gump who "just likes skay-ting"

Chen, it’s worth starting over career-wise for access to Lawson. Have you ever been to one of the country stores? They have really fresh produce at the one in Kita Kamakura.

 

What’s your fav sandwich from the konbini/mart? Mines egg salad for sure. Also big on the salmon and mayo onigiri, and strong zero is amazing.

 

My bro lives there and has a wife and little baby.

 

My fwp is we want to go to japan again soon but it’s like a $5k minimum for a decent trip.

Lol @changing careers for access to Lawson.

 

iggy - if I got a different job, it sure as fuck wouldn’t be in Ottawa. Or anywhere east of the lower mainland. It fucking snowed today here. It’s almost May, this shit is inhuman.

It snowed most of last week here. Then again I'm geographically right next door to Yukon.

booked a major international act for a festival this weekend and now the flight's looking to be cancelled cause of a major pilot strike, so we've gotta shell out additional €700 to even get her to come. also i've come down with a major cold just in time for the event.

I don’t like hockey much. I’m a lapsed Oilers fan.
