Reading a tweet, I'm amazed at what people eat for breakfast... I have a coffee with milk until noon (⊙ _ ⊙ )
- And more coffee and infusions, until lunch time...OBBTKN
- i can't function without soemthing to eat first thing. and a jug of coffee to wash it down.hans_glib
- It's coffee and water for me until about 1pm on weekdays then eat a big banana, and then more fluids til I finish work. Then snack, dinner, and that's it.BuddhaHat
- In Oz I'm all about the black coffee but goddamn did they make a great latte when I was living in Spain.BuddhaHat
- Maybe one day you'll tell us how and why you went off the radar for so long when you were in Spain, making us all think you'd died...!Nairn
- 2 sausage links or patties, 3 eggs over easy, 2 slices food for life sprouted grain toast. coffee is terrible. fill the tank before the tripimbecile
- In order: cigarette, coffee, cigarette, coffee, 100 g müsli with 30 g whey protein powder and 100 g mixed frozen berries. That's breakfast.Continuity
- Oh, and 200 ml of milk for the müsli.Continuity
- "cigarette, coffee, cigarette, coffee" are you okay? :Dimbecile
- He's French. Well, sort of.Nairn
- Yup, I'm French and absolutely OK, thanks!Continuity
- yogurt+granola, 2 slices of levain with butter ham n cheese, glass of 3%fat milk (muricans' count the wrong way) glass of juice.ArchitectofFate
- For years I'd just drink tea 'til lunchtime, but recently I've started having a breakfast bun with egg and bacon, so I'm definitely dying sooner. No cigs tho.Nairn
- A boiled egg in the morning is really hard to beat.
Wakka wakka!scarabin - Huel shake if in a hurry. If not, eggs on danish rye bread, coffee, fruit, water, supplements.jagara

I'm writing a response to Nairn's question about where I went a few years back; it's turning into quite the long story. Does anybody know a character limit for posts in here?
- FinallyGnash
- longer than you would thinkimbecile
- I don't think there is, but type in a text editor first anyway just in case it all goes tits up, which it only does when you type a long post direct...Nairn
- I feel like 2000ish words is a lot, which is what I just wrote. It's late, I will think on it and post tomorrow night if I can.BuddhaHat

I hope you all are well. Even monospaced who always seems to be angry at something. Not sure how my liver feels but I hope he appreciates my 40 days off alcohol.
One other thing I’d like to point out is F everyone that sided with Pia who messages heaps of dudes online when she had a boyfriend. In it’s self that’s fine but back then there was a very flirty thing about it.
Apparently that doesn’t stop people like monospaced/constantly angry nyc man from ... white nighting... her. I totally get that saying white knighting has certain connotations. I’m all for equality.
Was she some temporary woman who private messaged me everyone? Yes even me. I never messaged her first but noticed she did to everyone. But of course the likes of monospaced think they are special. Maybe that’s why he’s so angry.
And the end of the day I send her a diseased dick pic I found online. But only because I thought it was all a joke.
- Oof good to get that off my chest.eficks
- https://media.tenor.…hans_glib
- Congrats on the 40 days!Gnash
- "messages heaps of dudes online when she had a boyfriend"
I see you still haven't gotten to step 4.
Godspeed.palimpsest - what?monospaced
- what the fuck are you talking about?monospaced
- This is the right time to user the trusty: Excuse me?palimpsest
- There are private messages on here?
Also, hope you're well too. :)cotton - Last I checked Pia was happily married with children. Why are you sending her dick pics? Also, I'm not from nyc.monospaced
- ^For internet people it's close enough. you don't want where you live to be too specific.pango
- Congrats on 40 days!pango
- This is interesting, old QBN drama that we had no idea about..._niko
- I'm from California, pango.monospaced
- This post's responses are everything I could've hoped for. Thanks, QBN.Nairn
- I don't think monospaced's birthplace is the real issue here.palimpsest
- lolmonospaced
- he said... "monospaced always seems to be angry at something" it's as if you didn't read. then you prove his point? mind boggling... boy out here checkin'!? :Oimbecile
- Who da hell is Pia?Akagiyama
- Prove his point? I'm not even angry. I'm just confused.monospaced

- This guys mad because 12 years ago this girl in Norway joined QBN, made friends with some people, and instead he sent her a diseased dick pic.monospaced
- Yeah. We chatted. Facebook friends still. Everyone is married with kids. Not sure why you’re so triggered.monospaced
- Maybe she did not reply to deceased pic as much, and that’s where the cow comes from?maikel

I usually don’t get excited about things until after their over. But I’ve never been so satisfied with my work than before now and it feels so good. But, i’ve been tirelessly working to transition into content making that has more to offer than merely shilling products. It’s a fine enough job in advertising, but at my big age, I want something more.
I denied myself fine art exploration in favor of something that would make me immediately employable with design, coding, animation at the beginning but eventually a cog of an agency producer. My career choices, looking back, were fear based and influenced by my Black, immigrant raised mother. Having her definition of a “good job” defined my choices. I’ve always thought very practically about my career, which only kept me close, but not in the midst of the cool stuff. Or, if in the mix, playing a role I didn’t particularly care for. I think I missed a lot of experiences an artist should have.
Last week I was pulled in to consult with a light touch on an hour long documentary about an issue I care about that ”might” be green lit for production. I’m over here just happy to be in the room being an agency drop out finally working in entertainment as a creative full time. But, things are escalating quickly and more intensive planning has begun. Other collaborators liked my point of view, and my role is now a producer on the project. Producer is a much different role in agency life versus entertainment, and the title now feels like it fits. If green lit, the project well have secured distribution as well. I could make a documentary that people actually see. Even if this falls apart and is never made, I’m now in a place where another opportunity will come along whether offered to me or pitched by me. It’s a new level achieved, life is short, so I’m celebrating the small stuff.
- i wouldn't necessarily call it small stuff... sounds pretty big and awesome/life changing to me...
Super proud of you! I love hearing stuff like this..exador1 - This sounds awesome, shellie!
Also, were you/are you at all affected by the writers' strike? Are you unionised, too?Continuity - Sweet. I can relate to the immigrant-family career expectations :)Gnash
- @Continuity yes. I do not belong to any unions from where I sit inside the studio. But, all of my scripted shows are dark until labor issues are resolved.shellie
- So that means I cant work with certain talent and IP until all parties agree with a resolution. But reality, docs, I’m still busy.shellie
- I may join a union or two at some point as a producer, writer or director at some point, so all of these issues are of interest.shellie
- From a corporate POV, it’s also good to understand. Should I stay on the studio side, I’ll see another strike in my career.shellie
- I was not affected by, but adjacent to thr strike in 2008, as I was mostly making movie websites back then. But, it didnt last long enough to push many releasesshellie
- congrats shellie! to thine own self be true. i started writing a screenplay recently. no idea what to do with it! lol.sarahfailin
- Congrats! While my film career has come to a halt, glad to see you've made that transition.ArmandoEstrada
- We should reconnect @Armando.
@Sarahfailin that’s the question everyone has to answer. Theres so many different next steps depending on the writer and storyshellie - Congrats!! sounds magickalBeeswax

Here's a tale, I had a call recently from a woman in Glasgow who was moving to Arbroath (quite near me) and she said she wanted rid of her late husbands record collection as she didn't want to bring them with her when she moved. She explained how he was a collector and also a bit of a dealer so my interest was piqued especially when she said they were ALL classical records which I do know a fair bit about. So I bit the bullet and took the long drive to Glasgow which I had never been to before, but thanks to the sat nav found her right in the heart of the city. There were a few thousand albums, which seemed great but I would have needed a big van to take the lot if she accepted my offer. So I explained how I'd be happy to pick say 100 for £200 and she was happy with that on one condition, that I would have to dispose of the rest among the local charity shops of the city. Seemed like a fair deal I thought so i cherry picked this incredible collection and even though I was often pulling ones out by instinct or I just liked the cover (haha) I probably pulled around 200, "that's OK" she said, "take what you want as I just want them gone!"
So I was then left with the conundrum of where to get rid of the rest of these albums, I filled the car and headed to the local Oxfam Music shop, they accepted a few hundred but said no to the rest as they claimed to have too much stock (probably coz your a bit over-priced, I muttered under my breath.) Bear in mind these were NOT rubbish classical I must add, so quite why they turned the majority down was a mystery to me until I saw the floor to ceiling piles they had out the back, ridiculous amounts of over stock. Salvation Army claimed too that "no-one buys records anymore" WTF?! they also said they had so many out the back they didn't want anymore, i didn't even have time to go and have a look! I was confused and also getting slightly desperate to get rid of these records. Finally i found a small second hand shop in a back alley, I think it was called Relics and he was grateful for all the rest, around 2000 of them which ended up being 5 car trips from house to shop. The lady at the house also said I could help myself to any of them for free too as I was doing all the toing and froing, in the pouring rain I should add.
I was really happy with the ones I picked, so I shall flip a few of course to pay for petrol etc but the majority are keepers and the condition of all of them (apart from a 78 of Lenin's speeches which was cracked) was near mint, four of them below.
- lol @ Oxfam being expensive - I love diving in charity and second hand shops, but I simply don't bother with Oxfam for that exact reason.Nairn
- can i intern with you? we'll need to do something with my dog.imbecile
- additionally, who will be burdened with your collection later? will anyone know the breadth?imbecile
- nice :)sted
- good q imbecile, my lad has no interest (he wants the cds) but I've a canny Scottish wife & a few good knowledgeable friends, but no-one else knows it like meGardener
- i had an older native american neighbor with a large collection many years ago, she loved sharing songs in the middle of conversations. it would be a treat to...imbecile
