Random Music Talk CVII - At Home with Cobbler

[cobl04]

Lots of fun things happen in my life living out of home. This thread will be used to share some of those moments.

Here is me attempting to cook

And here is Teresa with Teddy, who I have had since the day I was born.

Please enjoy.

 

[martha]

Teresa is adorable. Those paws!

You, maybe not so much.

[cobl04]

Yeah we love her li'l socks

Twerps album Range Anxiety is quite good. Not going to change the world or anything but if you're after an album of chilll-out rock that mixes the likes of Lotus Plaza, Pavement, Velvet Underground etc then it's definitely worth a listen.

Empty Road is such a good song. The album is super derivative of The Smiths, Felt, Yo La Tengo and others, but who complains about that in 2015?

 

[cobl04]

Yeah the bookends are by far the best tracks, the rest is all very derivative and relatively inconsequential but it all sounds good and effortless so it's not something I'll be whinging about. It breezes by very nicely.

 

[Axver]

I honestly didn't get much out of the new Twerps album. It starts off pleasantly enough, but by the end it was all samey and boring.

They're a decent band to see live on a really hot summer day though.

Who the fuck let this thread happen?


You're all fired.

Some of us were working all damn day whilst others were basking in tropical heat and delicious foreignness.

 

[lazarus]

l'M BACK ALREADY AND WORKlNG AND lT'S AWFUL

 

[martha]

Oh crap. Work is for schmoes.

Who the fuck let this thread happen?


You're all fired.

Over 5 hours from the last thread being locked to this one starting...fails don't get much more epic than that.

 

[IWasBored]

I thought about it, but I didn't have anything that was much better. Let's be honest, I was probably just going to use a rape(d by wolves) joke like I did the last time I started a thread. And everyone knows that's not funny.

 

[cobl04]

I can't be held responsible. It is up to everyone else to create threads before I do. You all had plenty of time.

I feel like you could be using your counter space more efficiently than you are.

 

[bono_212]

Agreed. It would also help if you practiced the art of mise en place while cooking. You might not have so much clutter, or dropped food

Are you deliberately using that phrasing to antagonize gvox? I feel like you are.

That movie looks sooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid, but I have this small inkling of a feeling that it'll be good.

 

[Danny Boy]

I would seriously rather watch a movie about Cobbler's life than a new Adam Sandler movie.

This was quite lovely.

But see I had a working system in that photo. I ran out of bench space cos my other housemates hadn't cleaned up in full. So even though it looks bad that there's bacon on the floor, it is on plastic and I also did some cutting on the floor (on a cutting board) because I didn't have the room. So it looks bad but it worked.

 

[PhilsFan]

You see, I clean up after my roommates if I need the space and they haven't cleaned. But in my house we are all pretty responsible about taking care of that stuff.

For the brief time that I lived with roommates, I did tend to clean up after them if I needed something done, but I grumbled furiously to myself about it.

 

[IWasBored]

My old housemates would never wash the dishes they didn't destroy while cooking. Two of them were absolutely incapable of cooking without setting off the smoke detectors, and the third would steal anything left in the fridge.

 

[Hewson]

Perfect.

 

[Hewson]

Didn't realize you previously lived with my wife.

yeah, like peef and ashley said, if you need the bench space, clean up after them. my kitchen is ridiculously small, if the sink's full of dishes or something i just do them before i cook. and then i do my dishes immediately afterwards* because sitting dirty dishes are gross.


*no really, i realise i take it to an extreme level but i usually do my pots/pans immediately AFTER cooking, before i've even eaten. i always seem to cook stuff (curry, spaghetti) where if the ring of sauce sits, it takes forever to soak and clean, so i just started soaking immediately, then realised it'll take ten more seconds to just clean it then, and that's how i got to this ridiculous point.

This is why I live by myself.

Personal news alert:

Spoiler

Well, have lived by myself for a bit over a fortnight, having previously lived by myself for three years when I first moved to Melbourne. My partner of more than five years left me at the start of the month. It was unexpected. I'm... still alive. I've kept a lid on the news until now because we hadn't quite decided whether or not we'd say it publicly until yesterday (we're still talking, and hope to remain friends). Plus it's just been nice to come to Interference and post banal jokes and talk about sport. Anyway, there's my first and hopefully last Serious Personal Life Post in RMT. As you were.
