^ Nice man, I dig it. :) I love Everlong too, my brother and his wife had their wedding musician play that song as they recessed out of the sanctuary after their ceremony. :)

I saw Emancipator live once, in Asheville with him and Shpongle opening for Beats Antique (Creature Carnival on Halloween), and though Beats was my favorite part, I enjoyed Emancipator a lot more than Shpongle. Shpongle felt like he was just playing existing tracks one after the other, but Emancipator was doing it LIVE, creating stuff I've never heard before, and also Beats Antique's violin player came out to play with him for a while. It was really great, I am often a bit bored by the tracks from Emancipator I've heard online, but the live set I saw was really a beautiful thing.
 
Creature Carnival was soooo good. Still bummed that I missed it this time around. Luckily Beats Antique tours all the damn time, so I'm sure I'll get another chance before long. Or maybe I'll be less of a grumpy old person and explore some new music from Chicago's EDM scene.

Back in lawl school. It's as much of a pain in the ass as I remember, but somehow despite building my entire schedule during the free add/drop after missing the bidding process (was still on med leave), I put together a kick-ass schedule. I like all of my classes - I can't remember the last time that was true! Two environmental law classes, a labor law class, a class about the use of narratives and rhetorical technique in the law (we're reading novels and watching movies and shit, and talking about critical legal studies and other crit theory goodness - probably the best opportunity I'll ever get to cite Zizek in a law school writing assignment ; ), and a class about the potential - and limits - of trying to achieve substantial and lasting social change through the courts (the course evaluation responses from previous semesters sounded almost cultish in their praise of the prof, so either this class is gonna be amazing or I should probably call in sick on the "free koolaid" day). Actually, come to think of it, making a schedule entirely on add/drop probably helped me make a good one - I have a good excuse for not taking boring, "practical" shit like business associations or income tax. I think I have the most hippie-ish class schedule of anyone at Northwestern Law :P
 
xorkoth, I'd love to see Emancipator live! I just recently discovered them, but I really like it to chill out or fall asleep, very smooth listening experience...
 
Yeah it was great. I really like when DJs take the time and thought to create truly live sets of music instead of just putting one pre-made song after another on.

Well my upper throat/nose area is sore today, but I feel 95%. So that's good, especially since I have band practice tonight. Also I expect a variety of fun things to come maybe today, including methylone and ethylphenidate and a sample of escaline, plus a gram of AMT which I used to be (unhealthily) obsessed with, and haven't tried since 2007. I'm in a way different place now and I'm looking forward to getting to do it again, it's a great drug.

Shit is getting really deep with my girlfriend. It's been an interesting build-up over the past 16 months we've known each other. I believe I started loving her around 2 weeks in, we met and immediately started having sex and being close, and 2.5 weeks in she left for a month and a half (when it started I found that to be a bonus because I was just looking for friends with benefits type of stuff, but when she left I was very surprised to find that I cried). I realized deep down that I was already feeling that by then but the speed of it scared me and I spent a good few months trying to be as casual as possible about it, and she either was doing the same or she was just doing a really good job of being patient with me. Eventually we said we love each other and it's just gotten better and better. Then she left for 2.5 months this Fall and when she got back, it had grown substantially in our absence from each other. I've never felt anything like it, my last (and only other real adult) relationship was intense, and I felt really strongly for a long time, but it was like, a tainted love, built around emotional abuse, lying, and codependence, and in truth I honestly could not stand certain aspects of her from the very beginning. But with this, it's so pure. I honestly just love everything about her, it's so peaceful and supportive and respectful going both ways. A true and beautiful connection. I guess I'm gushing about this now because last night while we were both sitting at our respective homes alone and chilly (it's DAMN cold here right now), we started having the sweetest text conversation ever. She told me she thinks what we have is really special and she's never felt anything like it, and since I have been feeling that way too it feels so great to know that feeling is reciprocated. :) I can definitely see myself staying with her. We're both in the same place about kids too, we both kinda want 2 of them one day but we're also both undecided. But she'd be an awesome mom and I think we'd make awesome kids.

Anyone heard from Thorns lately?
 
So I discovered Tipper about 4 hours ago via this forum somewhere. Pretty sweet music, goes well with weed... :)

That's so good man. You've fucking textbook turned-things-around; good for you :) <3
 
It snowed last night, and now I can't leave my house. I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for this morning to get a throat culture since I might have strep, but I had to reschedule because when there is snow on the ground I can't get out of my driveway or down the miles of downhill to get to the main road. I hope it clears up by this evening so I can go see my girlfriend.

Not sure if I really have strep or not... my throat is sore, but not majorly sore. The other day I woke up and my uvula was really swollen and the swelling went away after that day but it's dark red still and has a couple of whitish lesions on it. My throat around it is also red but no white spots anywhere else. That's a possible sign of strep, but it also kind of looks like a couple of canker sores (which I've never gotten there but I do get them, and it could make sense because when it was really swollen it was getting aggravated a lot). I felt a little under the weather but today I actually feel fine other than it hurting.
 
^No good. I hope you are okay. Illness is such a load of shit :D... For me, in Australian hot summer, your discription of being snow bound is impossibly romantic. It doesn't snow anywhere in Australia except in alpine areas of course. I cannot imagine it being a part of day to day life. When I was in Norway, I really found it bizarre that people were not completely focusing their attention of the fact it was snowing a lot. People acting like it is normal!!

We've had a heat wave. It was 42 deg celsius 2 days ago. That's like 107 fahrenheit. Australian sunlight is brutal too, you can almost taste the UV. :\ Like the universe just decides to torture you...
 
I've felt sun like that too, particularly in the desert out in Arizona/Utah/Nevada in the summer. Regarding snow, I grew up with it WAY more a part of daily life... in northern Illinois it snows a lot more than here, and it snowed a lot more when I was a kid than it does there now. We'd have a foot or more of snow on the ground for much of winter, people drove on snow, you just had to. My school wouldn't close unless it had snowed 8 inches or more overnight and the snowplows hadn't been able to clear it when it was time for school to start. Snow can be inconvenient, especially in the mountains, but I love it... nothing like the sight of a blizzard or heavy snow, or the look of a fresh, thick coating of snow on everything. It's magical.

You know as I think about it, I don't think I'm sick at all (except that I did feel a little under the weather before, but today I feel 100%, and I was coming off of a long, intense night of tripping and quite a bit of 3-MeO-PCP and alcohol)... I think I got dehydrated from that night and it made my uvula swell, and in the day during that swelling it got scratched up from constantly rubbing against my tongue and also food. When I get scratches in my mouth, I often get canker sores. I seem to have 3 canker sores on my uvula, they look and feel just like them. They haven't spread at all and it's only that part of my throat that hurts. It makes the most sense. I'm glad to not have strep but this will probably take longer to go away because canker sores that get jostled regularly take a while to go away... and I gotta eat.

Weird shit. My takeaway lesson: keep hydrated while dissociated and/or drinking alcohol.

My girl decided to drive to town to hang out with her friend and then come over to my house after I get done with work. The roads look clear now because the snow on them melted. Then an hour and a half ago it started snowing again, really hard this time. She was texting me that she might get stuck at her friend's house for the night. But it's already stopped and the snow is melting off the road, so I think I'll get to see her tonight. :)
 
Lesson learned. I had a similar thing, I got fucked up on NYE on MXE and alcohol. Hungover the next day, felt sick with a blocked nose and sore throat but assumed it was a comedown/hangover. Turns out I was sick. But, I often find that drug comedowns have that slight feverish, achey feeling... I think I am getting ill a lot of the time, I am quite paranoid about it. :|

Glad you are feeling alright xorkoth :)

I think I want to do a short course this year. Something creative. I am finding that I am less and less inclined to make music these days but I need an outlet of sorts. I'm thinking that learning how to blow glass may be awesome. Or photography. I bought a really beautiful old oak coffee table that I plan to strip back and restore. So, maybe something like french polishing. Something where I devise something in my mind and then create it... Miss Willow did a short course on candle making which she loved. Got me thinking..

Fuark willow that's nasty! We got up to 42 as well one arvo, was a killer

Man in ways I'd love to live somewhere I could potentially be snowed in....I understand it would shit you off frequently though, as you probably are now Xork...though depending on what season it is when the girl and I eventually visit the US, it might even be on the card hahaha



I'm curious - what's the legitimate reason for Morning Glory seeds? Like, why are they sold off the shelf in supermarkets? I'm presuming food, but Wikipedia didn't offer much insight and I cbf Googling beyond there lol
 
they are actually quite attractive

Morning glories sure are beautiful, but they are one of the most invasive plants I've ever seen. This last week a morning glory vine grew through the wall of my girlfriends house. It's over a foot long, just worked its way straight through the wall. She's keeping it.
 
Yeah they're awesome plants, but as others have said, quite prolific at being what one might call "weeds". It's a vine that just grows and grows. But yeah, a lot of people plant them, I would guess that the vast majority sold are for that purpose, rather than eating to trip.

Well I'm going to the doctor today after all, I've developed some white strep-like spots on my throat and it hurts worse. Still don't feel the slightest bit sick though, so weird...
 
Xorkoth, I've had the same thing happen to my uvula from doing too many drugs (along with inhaling tons of dust on an outdoor dancefloor), it sucks to be sure. Took a while for it to heal up all the way, and like you I didn't really feel sick while it was going on. Teas with honey are helpful, especially if you throw in some licorice and marshmallow roots. Warm saline water gargle will help too if you aren't already. Hope you feel better soon. :)

Morning glory was the first plant I ever grew. Planted some seeds in the yard when I was like 9 or 10 because I knew they were hallucinogenic (thought it was cool even though I had no plans on eating 400 seeds) and I thought the flowers were stunning. My mom liked it too until it took over that entire side of the yard and refused to be removed. For those that aren't familiar with them, they twist their flowers into little cigars at night, and at dawn you can watch them unroll the cigar and fully open the flower as the sun starts to shine. Simply beautiful.
 
Received 2x 4TB hard drives today, so looks like I might be getting started on my media server over the weekend :D Will have about 10TB to fill straight off, which should hopefully be enough to cover what I'm interested in copying from our current selection of shit haha
 
I feel like absolute shit. Dunno wtf is going on with me, but it feels like more than testicular cancer. Intense abdominal pain centered around my left kidney, but no kidney stone shown on the CT scan.

Thank god for hydrocodone.

I've had chest x-rays, testicular ultrasound, and abdominal cat scans done, and the only thing they can see that's wrong with me is the tumor in my left testicle. So we're hoping that all the other BS that is going on with me is peripheral to the testicular cancer, and hopefully my other ailments will go away once we get the cancer dealt with.
