There's some kind of malfunctioning equipment near my office this morning. The room smells nauseatingly like burning tires.

It's a good thing free donut/muffin/bagel day only comes once per month at work or else I'd be fat like Joe.

There's some kind of malfunctioning equipment near my office this morning.

We keep hearing a loud, deep rumbling, like the El, except we're on the 19th floor. It's kind of alarming.

It's Godzilla.

I think only the general shape of my face and the face I am making in that picture make me look like either David S. or the other guy.

In a developing story: IT'S HOT IN HERE. The sun is beating on the kitchen and living room, creating a strong greenhouse effect. I have opened windows and am not wearing much of anything.

Grousing kills thread.

I'm getting nothing done today. But I have a meeting in a minute, and that will feel like something.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

2x getting nothing done

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

3x. I've got a meeting from 4 - 6 that'll kill the rest of the day.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I heard tale of a $30,000 custom drum kit that was installed in the studio my friend works at in Nashville. I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Was it made from the wood of a one-of-a-kind cancer-curing rainforest tree or something?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure. If I remember right he said titanium figured prominently in the design of the thing. Also, all the parts down to the smallest fittings were US-made, which probably jacked up the price a lot. I guess most custom makers will do the shells and rims and such themselves, but get the hardware pieces from overseas or something akin to that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

4x, though I'm not at work yet. But still I have a stack of laundry that is literally as tall as me and I could be applying for jobs.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

And I have something in my apartment that has been a source of shame for me....a wardrobe box that I have been putting all my trash in since Courtney left. It is all paper trash, nothing rotting, mind you.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan -- do you have the whole Clipse record now?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, my friend bought that CD for the trip this weekend. He got the rental car, so I probably heard it at least 10 times.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't understand what all the hype surrounding it is all about. It has some good beats and there were one or two good overall tracks. But I gotta say it's overrated, and they're probably selling all the coke they rap about to internet record reviewers.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I don't really listen to much rap on the album level, but people talk so much about the Clipse I figured I had to hear it. And it's like Metacritic's 3rd-best reviewed record of the year (although that will probably go down once more reviews come in).

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I might have just heard it too many times in too short a time frame, too.

Funny side story: My roomate M@tt (also at the wedding as he was standing in it) had never heard of the Clipse. His quote -- "what is that, some new mp3 player?"

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never heard of them outside of the Internet.

i do

― grbchv! (gbx), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey. The other two bands tonight are awesome too, though somewhat more "punk" than us, if you need more incentive to come out 2nite.

I like Clipse.

― n/a (n/a), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

The Clipse record is pretty great, but it bums me out sometimes. I can't say exactly why. Well, maybe I can. It's viciously angry in a lot of places, and the life of a drug dealer does not sound like the happiest. That said, I keep coming back to it.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Their fine bitches, stripper bitches, and college ho's all like the dirty money (dirty money).

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I like the Clipse album because it is loud and obnoxious, like rap is supposed to be.

― n/a (n/a), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

WEP WEP
What it do, what it do?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry. Like I said, I heard it an awful lot.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:12 (seventeen years ago) link

YSI, my peeps.

though somewhat more "punk" than us

Which is why I will be coming just for you guyz. :-D

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe you mean "WAMP WAMP."

― n/a (n/a), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh, my thug pronunciation needs some work. Please Frosty don't hurt me!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

(And BTW, I don't need any more incentive to come see you guys play, although I do like teh punk bands. This is totally coming down to my relationship with the amount of money spent, beer consumed, and sleep missed this past weekend.)

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

It's nice having a new boss. She likes my stuff, and doesn't understand why it doesn't get used. Which is what I want to know, too!

D/Led for irony's sake, if nothing else. Thank'ye!

Jordan -- do you have the whole Clipse record now?

Yeah and I'm into it. I like how mnml the beats are. Any one of them coming from the Neptunes might be disappointing (except for Wamp Wamp), but as a consistent sound for the record it's serious.

I don't think it's loud and obnoxious, though I do like loud and obnoxious rap.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 00:11 (seventeen years ago) link

(I love Wamp Wamp)

I firmly support you in that difficult decision.
