I can do tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to a play at 7 p.m., but that shouldn't keep us all from dropping acid.

Today is great acid weather.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I still have some leftover 'shrooms in my freezer if anyone wants them. I grew them myself a few years ago and moved them from NC to here. (Funny story: J/J and I were tripping and the female J said, "You totally have to bring these along when we move to Chicago." So I did. Then when I mentioned it to her later, she had a heart attack. Not that funny, really.)

today IS great acid weather. TOTALLY OTM.

YOU GUYS I DON'T DO DRUGS

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

though I am kind of bored

Acid and bald. That would totally be my new username if I could pick.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

OK time to get off the computer and LIVE MY LIFE

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I was worried Julia would be horrified at my bald head, but she said, "You amuse me." Heh. That's a worthy role in life, I think.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, 2pm sunday, nick's place? is that the plan?

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

John, you may want to bring your keyboard if that's possible.

Yeah, I was planning on that. You guys have amps?

John, did you end up seeing The Host last night?

Nah, we ended up going to the art opening with Dan, and then for drinks at Skylark and, later, Small Bar (Logan Sq.)

I still have some leftover 'shrooms in my freezer if anyone wants them.

You should've told me that before I bought $50 worth last week.

― jaymc, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Seriously?

Anyway, I only have a little bit.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Plus, after 3 years, I wonder how effective their shroomitude would be.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

enough for me, man. Hand em over!

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

$50

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's high time I did a little hallucinogen and reset my brain.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

$50 for old freezer shrooms that you just said might not work? Come on, take some kinda loss.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

2PM Sunday sounds all right. Nick, can you either email me directions or post them here?

― dan m, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll give you ten bucks. And all your stuff back. Three years is ridonculous.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

[link This is my practice space. The address is on the bottom of the page.]http://www.cpesound.com/[link] It's in the vicinity of Damen and Grand: Carroll is like two blocks south of Grand. The practice spaces are on the fourth floor, though there's nothing on the other floors so don't worry about getting off at the wrong floor. My space is the third door on the left, across from the office.

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Damn it. Well, you see the link: www.cpesound.com.

I'll probably get there around 1 and start setting up mics and whatnot.

I know. I just missed that.

The building is across the street from [Removed Illegal Link]

Oh fuck you in the nuts.

I'M TELLING YOU, THESE NU TAGS SUCK ROCKS.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've just been copy/pasting from the examples at the bottom and then filling in the necessary bits.

― dan m, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

You can't include "weird" punctuation marks (like apostrophes and question marks) in links.

― jaymc, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

WHICH IS ESPECIALE BULLSHIT

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry, didn't turn off the "yell" key

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

The nu-code wouldn't be so bad if I could do download a Firefox extension that made it as easy as the BBCodeXtra thing (where you highlight, right-click and then do things like make a link, italics, image, etc.). Seriously, the link code is about as bass-ackwards as anything I've ever seen.

It might be passe by now, but I'm still inclined to curse you-know-who every time I have to use nu-code.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

(I know, I know, there were weaknesses in the old ILX that could have been exploited by anyone with the know-how to do so, and it needed to be fixed anyway, but still, he is kind of the king of the sort of people who would exploit the weaknesses, and therefore deserves a short curse everytime I have to go through a few extra steps to create a simple link.)

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

No, I don't know who.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope you don't mean Jon Williams.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, by the way, while I'm busy cursing things, I would like to CURSE THE FUCK OUT OF iTUNES.

Hey iTunes: fuck you for erasing all instances of The Strokes from my hard drive!

I was importing 3 discs to the library (File--Import Folder--Strokes, just as I have done a million times before) and they didn't show up. Now they are NOWHERE on my computer, including the recycle bin. Completely gone!

[/FU-iTunes]

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

lol at ppl not knowing how to use their machines.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry jesse, but itunes does not erase files unless you tell it to.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I told you exactly what I did. I've used iTunes before, and this has not happened.

It was kind enough to leave behind the artwork for the 3 albums I had though.

Anyway, if I had somehow blacked out and made iTunes erase my files, they would be in the recycle bin. A thorough search of my internal and external HDs has revealed no trace of the music files.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

here's my thing with iTunes: it's better. But it has problems. Namely: 1) it's processor intensive; 2) it's memory intensive; 3) it acts like a Mac. If you don't know how to use a Mac already, iTunes will seem alien to you, even if what it does is designed to be very simple and straightforward. And it actually IS simple, really, if Mac has colonized your brain already, as it has mine. iTunes does not fit very well into PC Land. In Mac World, you tag and organize everything en masse, and you keep up with it, or ELSE. Or else you have a great big mess of files with no direction in life. Mac's easier, but it's also more authoritative, and a lot of PC users resent that. They want to tag everything the way THEY want it. Which is what I meant the other day when I mentioned how assigning yourself administrative duties re: your music collection was the realm of giant nerds.Who really WANTS to do that?

Everything else is just not being used to it.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

And if your computer truly makes files disappear, you prolly need a new computer.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Try foobar2000. Or MusikCube. Or Media Monkey.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

boy was that post contradictory. "mac is easier because it makes you organize things, which makes you not have to work to organize things, which makes it easier than a PC."

It's madness, but it's SO TRUE.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

All of which I have tried, but don't like for one reason or another. MusikCube and foobar are okay if you want something really stripped down. Can't vouch for how well ipod intergration is though.

I've been having trouble with Winamp lately, the new version doesn't like my Last.FM plugin. If I have it enabled, it throws my cpu up to 100%. That is odd.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

shut up jeff. You're just going to have to explain how to install and use more and more software. Which then gets right back to my lol at not knowing how to use a computer.

IF YOU WANT EASY, USE A MAC.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, what Kenan said. But then he is going to be your helpdesk for a mac, since I haven't used one in a couple of years.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

What I would like, is for more people to use the Album Artist tag. It's useful when tagging compilations. So you could put Michael Mayer for the Album Artist, and then the individual artists for the Artist tag.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

after initial setup, my helpdesk will resemble that of the maytag repairman.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

What I need to tag on my music: Genre and Year.

I've got every thing else nicely tagged, but I always get pissed off when going through and trying to determine genre. Years I can do though, it will just take time.
