I woke up depressed.. ironically, in revenge for not missing someone, when the question is asked I find that the next day I do miss them. Hm.. I guess I dserved this.<\/p>\n
Then I realized.. wait a second, Sheer, this is not like you. You’re sitting in a room surrounded only by the whine of the hard disks, no wonder you’re depressed.<\/p>\n
So, envision each of those tiny heads over a spinning platter as a tiny record pickup, touching grooves of vinyl. Even upstairs I have a few hundred watts at my disposal, and it’s bloody well time to use it. What shall I listen to. Trance doesn’t seem to fit the mood.. I want something upbeat..<\/p>\n
[reaches for his pile of 80s music..]<\/p>\n
Insoc time. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Hmm. the stereo up here doesn’t have enough bass.. I’m clipping the amp before I can feel it hitting me in the chest.. [forcable removal of depression through application of large amounts of moving air. Someone should write this one up for the psychiatric journals]<\/p>\n
I wish I had more friends so I could throw a house party.. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n
Oh, in other good news, my mac is back (with a new systemboard and a new display bezel, and the same hard disk and bumper stickers. [For those of you who wondered, those read ‘Carpe Noctem \/ Seize The Night’ and ‘DefCon 11’. ;-)]<\/p>\n
I had a thought the other day.. I should really go to Cafe Press and make up some of the bumper stickers I’ve always wished I could buy:<\/p>\n
‘Napster is communism and communism works’
\n‘Linux is communism and communism works’
\n‘I drive electric because I try *not* to be a asshole’
\n‘Everything I know, I learned in a library. School taught me how to spit. –Terry Prachett’
\n‘I’m PLUR, and I vote.’ [I imagine the nw-raves mailing list would have a feild day making fun of that one]
\n‘Pistons? Pistons? We don’t need no steeenking pistons! –Rod Wilde’ [for those of you who don’t get the joke, think what electric cars generally, as a rule of thumb, don’t have]
\n‘Your TV is physiologically addicting. Ask me how.’ [Great lead-in to the 60hz lecture, which no one believes..
\n‘I’m a musician, and I *like* Napster\/Kazaa\/WinMX\/P2P.’ [and I always will. Even when my stuff is actually worth downloading. ;-)]
\n‘Music is far too important to be left to the professionals’<\/p>\n
I’ll have to think of another fifteen or twenty or so. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
In the meantime, the basement is calling me. I can hear it..<\/p>\n
Just _once_ I would like to see the ‘clip’ lights on on the sub amps. The problem is that unless the system is outside, I can’t safely test to that level without hearing protection. [As a bare minimum ;-)]<\/p>\n
Peace out, y’all.<\/p>\n
