i don't know where to put this so i'm putting it here

wanna go see the new james bond tomorrow?

from Hurlstone Jackson's Celtic Miscellany a translation of a Gaelic incantation to accompany the plucking of yarrow:

"I will pick the smooth yarrow that my figure may be more elegant, that my lips may be warmer, that my voice may be more cheerful; may my voice be like a sunbeam, may my lips be like the juice of the strawberries. May I be an island in the sea, may I be a hill on the land, may I be a star when the moon wanes, may I be a staff to the weak one: I shall wound every man, no man shall would me."

how jelky got his groove back

"it's quite a tribute to a person if they sound shrill even with mute on"

i hate married people

sometimes i think all they have to offer are unwanted evites and the refraction of their hatred of their husbands

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

seriously what the fuck is up with marrieds and evites?

also i have severe cases of both earworm and tetris effect.

if it makes you feel any better, the center house is reeeally depresssing

also, earworm not nearly as gross as one might imagine!

i trusted you not to link to something that would be as gross as that link might lead one to think. if anyone else had posted it i wouldn't have clicked!

i don't see a 'snippets of conversations you have overheard' thread so i am putting this here:

closing up the store, i see girl walking by talking on mobile
"oh yeah totally okay then TTYS!!"

ppl really say tee-tee-why-ess IRL??

explain to me the marrieds/evites thing... married people always stay at home?

haha nothing to explain really, i was annoyed with a married co-worker that day and took my frustrations out on the internet. (the idea was that the things married people can offer are mostly useless to me)

will keep that in mind in a year's time, jergz

i like the first post on this thread
Do You Ever Feel Unreal?

i like noodle vague a lot - guy's a deep thinker, in the best sense of the word.

i like dudes who are still zingy even after they have kids

he is probably the best british poster

i really don't know anything about noodle vague at all! i know that he has been posting for awhile, but he has been completely off my radar otherwise somehow.

also, "ttys" takes just as long to say as "talk to you soon" does. same number of syllables.

exactly! that's why i thought it was so stupid.

oh jergz: i bought that tee fury t-shirt, thanks to your link! <3

aren't those neat? it's a great idea, having them for sale for just a day, makes you say OH MAN I GOTTA GET THIS NOW. i wish i would have been looking back in october. there's one i really want that's gone now

i kind of want to buy today's shirt (http://www.teefury.com/)
the guy is a local

Me: so why did you go out with them in the first place them?
Her: I wanted to make them feel better

Found Sound City

There's a building somewhere in New York City: every time you go there – maybe it's a bank or a department store or the office where you work – you hear what sounds like air-conditioning equipment, a distant droning noise in the background that you can't quite place.
But it's always there – maybe sometimes higher pitched than other days, but always audible.
One day, though, you happen to be there with some friends and you've got a videocamera. You're filming each other goofing off, playing in the stairwells, and so on – but when you get back home and begin to watch the video you realize it's actually quite boring. Making faces at a camera is not as interesting as you'd hoped it'd be.
So – overlooking the fact that this would not actually be possible – you begin to fast-forward the video at 4x speed, then 8x, then 16x, then 32x – and you realize, with a collective gasp, that that droning sound in the background is not a drone at all but a piece of music played slow to the point of unrecognizability. It's Beethoven, say, or Jimi Hendrix.
Someone is playing incredibly slow music, like a kind of acoustic glacier, inside the building. It's avant-garde Muzak.
You go a little crazy upon discovering this, however, and begin to make field recordings all over Manhattan, recording drones. You stand in alleys, beneath trees in Central Park, and inside abandoned warehouses, capturing ambient background sounds on tape. You visit the airport, deliberately seek out traffic jams, and illegally access basements on the Upper East Side.
And for the next six months you sit and listen to all of them at 32x speed – 64x speed, 128x speed – convinced that this world has strange music embedded in it somewhere and, if only you use your equipment right, you can find it.
