Read up on some Chomsky last night. It was a great reminder about the common sense politics of isolationism.

Jimmy Page is well known for not wanting to have his
picture taken or sign anything at record fairs so I was
reduced to the game of taking sneaky pics - but I can
tell you he smells nice, wears a lot of leather, has a minder
and didn't buy anything off me today - though he did once
buy a Public Image LP from me
Jimmy checks out his own LP but decides it's too pricey!
any lower and I may have been accused of an upskirt shot!
(if he was wearing a skirt, which he wasn't - he's a black
Levi's kinda guy)- http://www.thaterica…

Anyone on here living in Florida (specifically Weston, Ft. Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Plantation areas?) I'll be in the area for a few days in November.
• Places to stay?
• Things to do other than the beach(although not really there for vacation, I can squeeze one in)?A little nervous about going truth be told.
- Further out from where I need to be, but I'm looking at staying here: http://gzellacollect…bklyndroobeki

I see 'they' are rebooting Curb your Enthusiasm, Roseanne, Will & fucking Grace (should've been called 'Jack & Karen'), Dynasty... another Star Trek... anything else unoriginal I should be watching?
- Curb is a reboot? That would be hilarious.********
- Just more regurgitated Hollywood crapola!utopian
- Lol at "Jack & Karen" - very true. They should just have their own show.microkorg
- technically I guess only Dynasty and Star Trek are reboots as they're new casts? Everything else is the same people (like Full Fucking House!!) fucking Tanners.PonyBoy
- Curb is a reboot? That would be hilarious.

After two shitty years of divorcing and shit living conditions (was literary smoked out the last place!) I moved into a nice place with my GF. My son was so happy to have a room.
Got to love the old Victorian ceiling height!
Anyone else living in Brockley? Start a South London QBN massive!

"Defragmented Timeline Of My Mind"
we live life on a timeline
a timeline of our mortality
at least in this present day
this present time
my current realitybut in my observations
my stupid
limited
meditations
I wonder why?I wonder why
time flies by
arbitrary
until I hit certain memories
that seemingly
systematically
fill larger portions of my mind.I run through
the unimportance of my life
with the fervor of filling out
tps reports
forgettable documents
for meaningless work
part timewhy is it that the joy
fills so much of the void
of my
ridiculous mind?somewhere along the line
GOD created a way
for defragmentation
of days
of weeks
of timeonly the memories worth a shit
remain easily accessible
in my RAM.And that's fine.

If your lease goes to a month-to-month, do you worry about being kicked out?
- Not unless you give them a good reason too.monospaced
- no, but I worry about my rent going up as much as they want each and every monthlvl_13
- ^month to month has a fixed rate but it is normally 25% higher than a lease.Hayoth

Went to a National Park last weekend, and its located in a area where they protect the sky from light pollution so we can see the stars at night. I've seen the Milky Way and so many stars, you just can't imagine. I was speechless.
You guys on the East Coast have no idea. Here's a map of the light pollution in the World. Some people are unable to see stars.
- lol @ light pollution. Eat it up man. Eat it up.Hayoth
- this is how it is called. There's so much lights in cities now that we cannot see the night sky anymore.Bennn
- Yeah but at least we can SEE at night, Ben. Total darkness? Sad!stoplying
- lol. but yeah miss seeing the universe._niko
- < and what the fuck is happening in siberia? lol_niko
- you guys are souless. You'd understand if you'd see the milky way in real life. this is mazing.Bennn

ugh I'm so very irritated. An extremely distant cousin came to New York and asked if he could stay the other day before he got here. I said no. My place is absolutely not set up for overnight guests, especially right this very moment. But he's got himself in a weird situation so he's on his way here now. I'm trying not to be a complete bitch but it's really fucking rude to even consider crashing at someone's house if they didn't offer in a place like New York City. It's a really city newbie thing to do and I DO NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT. I need to turn my cunty snark down by 68% before he gets here.
- go out, don't come back for a few daysautoflavour
- pfft... I wish. I have shit to do. The last time family did this to me, I did actually just leave. I couldn't get my work done and 3 people completely took overshellie
- weird. Sounds like a latcher.Hayoth
- just say no. i had someone spit on me when i asked them to leave. only cemented my decision for their exit. fuck needy peopleimbecile
- fuck me... family sucks sometimesPonyBoy
- could you elaborate on the weird situation he got himself into?hotroddy
- He got a one way ticket to be with some girl, and that did not work out in less than 48 hours. He's gotta go in the morning. Can't stay here, bruh.shellie
- plus, he came empty handed and totally broke. I'm sorry this is a hard lesson he's gunna have to learn on a park bench bc that's wild.shellie
- hotels, hostels in NYC & BK aren't cheap. Even a couch on airbnb is $30 a night. How in the fuckin fuck do u come to NYC without money? Thats a bad kinda crazyshellie
- i think since1979 stayed on the Bowery, the flop houses are still around and are the new "in" thing...robotron3k
- Sounds like he needs to hear no a frw mote timescannonball1978
- dont reply.pango
- One of the inspoken things about being a New Yorker is that you become the NY ambassador to outside family and friends. Help him out and be sure he returns theinstrmntl
- favor.instrmntl
- You have bills, you have to focus. You said no. That was your free will and he took that from you and in a rude manner. Its effected your mental balance so do .mugwart
- ... what you need to, to balance it all out.mugwart
- Let him stay 1 night. Use that night to give him a good talking to. It's family.Hayzilla
- Just stay really quiet and don't answer the door for a few days.elahon
- yoo hes on some crazy delusional shit. he has no money. i woke his ass up at 7am with directions to Penn Station. Hes going to have to pawn his lapto and get ashellie
- AND this morning he just walked into my female roommates room. she's on a broadway show rn she wasn't home but if she was she woulda freaked out.shellie
- Im not an ambassador to someone who is clearly taking advantage. I've never stayed anywhere this rudely, even when i was on a (band) tour.shellie
- When i say distant cousin i mean married in step cousin type stuff. i don't even know him. We met once at a concert a literally a decade ago.shellie
- ive hosted my bfs mom in LA and New York. His sister moved in w/me after a school break from Japan for 8 months. im pretty reasonable for immediate fam/friends.shellie
- Did I mention he told me he spent time in jail within the first 5 min? Recently divorced (not terrible) has never met his 1 yr old daugher (terrible).shellie
- this was my face O__Oshellie
- blew all the money he had on cabs weed & food to impress some girl only for her to say "but you can't live here dude" none of this was sound descison making.shellie
- wow.********
- Make him clean the place, run errands etc. and give him a 2 night maximumProjectile
- ^********
- oh not a chance. His jail time had something to do with sexual assult. im not surprised. the way this all happened made me uncomfortable with every step.shellie
- he was abused as a kid and i feel sorry for him, but i don't feel safe at all in his presence. he could rob me if my bf wasn't here. he actually came backshellie
- after my boyfriend led him away this AM. im kind of bummed that he knows where i live. he obviously did not go to the train station as i directed. fucking crazshellie
- O_Opango
- haha i kind of pulled the same(not really) thing with my cousin when i was in her city. Only half a nite tho. i needed to take a night before i party till mornipango
- if you dont feel safe and he is walking into someone else's room - with a history of violence - get him out. Tell his family and kick him out.mugwart
- also i'm more of a together person... i think.
Now she's in my city in 2 days. I really can't say no lol.pango - *night = nap....pango
- He's gone Mug. But he made me kick him out twice for Christ's sake. I had a director not take a firm pass on a project recently. i bring that out in ppl.shellie
- The power of no.robotron3k
- Glad he's gone and you both safe Shelliemugwart
- Good god. After full disclosure you did the right thing!!Hayzilla
- that esclated quickly.shellie

Working on some client files, two of which are named 'steamer pusher' and 'steamer collar', and every time I see them 'Cleveland steamer collar' and 'Cleveland stamer pusher' spring to mind, neither of which are particularly enjoyable mental images.

Back to considering getting a standalone computer for music recording. Still using an early 2011 MBP, pre-Retina screen as my main computer, it's nice and fast, 1TB drive, 16MB Ram.
I've got the 27" Thunderbolt monitor, and I can't decide whether I'd rather buy a new iMac, or a refurb Mac Pro. I want/need a computer for recording that's always connected and ready to go rather than connecting, disconnecting my MBP, taking it down to the basement, etc.
Someone suggested selling my 27" monitor and putting that towards an iMac. I don't know if I'd switch to the iMac for most of my photo editing and design work, but I'm sure the newer iMac screen would be a great update to what I currently have.
Any suggestions?
- mac pro's cool but its slow as shit compared to what you can get with a pc or hackintosh build, I have the mac pro trash can and work in VR and it suuuuucks.moldero

In Stockholm this week for work. Such an awesome city.
Normally, team members are scattered all over the globe– working remotely, but many are based in Stockholm/EU.
We're having a "summit" where the most company can work, brainstorm and generally be in the same room together. Many of us have worked together at previous companies, so we're all friends. It's great to hang out 3-4 times a year.
Having a handful of locals is great for the best restaurants and bars.
- You came at the wrong time - most of the town is a fucking building site. And don't be suckered into going out in Söder - its reputation is vastly overblown.face_melter
- Ha - yeah, lots of construction. Our office is right at the Slussen station, but the weather has been amazing for walking and exploring.bulletfactory
- great city / shitty weather ;D Enjoy! Try to get a reservation at Punk Royale if you're looking for great food!ArchitectofFate
- But yeah - i love living here - it's a great town to walk through. Also, check out B.A.R. in Blasieholmen for a nice place to eat.face_melter

Client: We'll use DIN Next.
Me: OkayWeek later...
Me: Okay so I used DIN Next for everything except for paragraphs (p). For that I used Open Sans as an example but since your Senior Designer's gonna check on everything he'll probably decide what's best in this case.
Client: We want everything in DIN Next!
Me: Okay...

The people who call themselves creative or even worse have creative in their url (ex. joesmithcreative.com) are the worst designers out there.

In the starbucks vortex and trying to survive a blast of intolerable music. Why do they blast this music? Is this supposed to enhance the coffee experience or is it supposed to drive people out of here? I figure the latter. I miss outdoors Starbucks coffee loitering in the sun. That's something Florida has that NYC doesn't have.
- Fuck Starbucksgrotesk_neue
- First off, starbucks doesn't make decent coffee in NYC. Second, you can easily take a cup of coffee outside in NYC to any of the many parks, in the sun.monospaced

I'll confess it... 25 years ago, i liked the U2 Achtung baby album, those times i was more into punk or grunge music... but ey, those irish boys were not that bad...
Now i can be puking all day long if i listen just a second of their new songs... blgrrrllrllr
- My brother used to be sooo into them. My teen years seemed to be soundtracked by him playing that album constantly. I fucking hated it so much.Hayzilla
- But now after 20 years without listening to their music, whenever i hear one of those songs I think they were rather good.Hayzilla
- I've good memories of those times, and still associate them to this album... but i can not stand with the new songs mateOBBTKN
- Damn you're oldpinkfloyd
- Joshua Tree was the album that hooked me... then I discovered all their previous stuff and loved it too. The came Rattle and Hum and that was okay...PonyBoy
- ..but after that it ALL WENT TO SHIT!! I hated Auchtung BehBeh—HATED it—still do. Current Joshua Tree tour I hear has been a great time machine for sad fans. :)PonyBoy
- I hated zooropa when it came out.. and now I love it. music is weird that way.hotroddy
- I (think) I still love it. Along with Disintegration and Brothers in Arms. Good times, good memories.formed
