how are we all?

up to much this weekend?
im eating nachos and practicing procrastination of the highest order.

Vanished last night before you posted this ... and damn, $150 is a bit more than I really want to spend right now. Oh well.

You can spend less, but it'll sound like bees raping ants.

$109 is the cost of a Boss SD-1 or DS-1, which are professional level pedals.

Not a great deal here ... trying to get some work done and realising that I have a couple of essay topics but no arguments to base my writing on, so I'm still pretty fucking in the dark. Goddamn, I just want to get down to writing, but I think I still need to do loads more research.

That might not necessarily be such a bad thing ...

OK, but names don't tell me much. What does it do?

 

[mysterious_jen]

you can get a build your own pedal kit from dick smiths ya know. even Aldi had guitars and pedals for some reason .

A DS-1 is a distortion pedal. It'll give you sounds more along the metal side of the spectrum. Petrucci uses one, for comparisons sake.

A SD-1 is somewhat along the same lines, although it has more of a mid-range bias. Something more like Gilmour's style, say.

Ah, cool, both of those sound like things I'd rather like ... will have a think about whether I feel like spending that much money.

From Aldi?!

I have some knowledge of the topic itself and I've put some words down on paper ... but I'm just not sure what to argue to keep the essay going. It's a frustrating point of "I know stuff, but I don't know what I want to say about it!"

So is bono like officially gay for elvis or something?

The thing about Boss is, you can throw it out of a three story building and it will work flawlessly. The things are fucking tanks.

At least we know Passengers - or the shit of Passengers - isn't entirely dead to U2 ...

Heh. I've just already spent too much money lately (can we say Europe trip?), so I'm not sure I should be throwing even more money at things I don't need ... but it'd be fun.

 

[mysterious_jen]

what the fuck my 2nd post went in front of my fists one ,

 

[mysterious_jen]

no you cant say europe trip

 

[Axver]

Don't worry, it'll be the only interesting thing I'll do this entire decade.

 

[mysterious_jen]

pfffffft you do lots of interesting things! like writing a thesis .

 

[Axver]

Fuck writing a thesis.

My life is the definition of mundanity. At least it can make other people feel interesting in comparison!

 

[liamcool]

Did I just get sigquoted? Woot.

bit slow there

i when people realise that life is fairly mundane for themselves and for 99% of the population !
your life is what it is i guess you have to get over it and do something with what you got. which you are doing.

mate if i could write a thesis and go to u2 in europe in the same year i would die a happy woman.

 

[mysterious_jen]

ax do you know anything about the NZ charter of human rights?

 

[Axver]

I think it's safe to say 99% of the population is living a life more exciting than I am, sitting here at my computer, reading a bit, writing nerdy shit two people will ever care about (one being myself), and posting on a goddamn forum because I've nothing else to do with this pointless existence.

Sorry, I can't think of anything off the top of my head ... I'm sure my memory'd be jogged if I looked at material about it, but not in any particularly informative or useful way.

thats ok , just wondered if it had crossed your path whilst over there, but you have been here for a while anyway.

have to compare the vic charter of rights with another charter - NZ charter is most similar but other countries charters are more interesting to look at .
