The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Just went to buy a bottle of vodka to facilitate tomorrow's 7:30am train for 9am band practice (yep, whaddafuk?) drinking. Gave it to the guy in the shop to remove the safety tag and he did a little robot dance and threw it at the ground by my right foot.


Was probably gonna wear the same shoes tomorrow so I guess if I'm gonna stink of vodka I should get hammered anyway.

I did not get the gig for that band. However, they were all impressed with the fact that I've been playing for so few years and that I've never played live given how well I played.

Gives me validation of my skills and that I don't think I'm fucking awful.

You'll be on par with Bert and Ernie in no time:
 
I've been listening to Chiasm this weekend, a solo darkwave artist whose existence is known to me only because she has a song in one of my favorite games, Vampire: Bloodlines. I've come back to this game many times over the 12-13 years I've owned it, and never bothered to check out her music until now.

My first experience with the world of Vampire: The Masquerade was playing the pen and paper game with a group of goths I briefly knew in high school. It was truly a transformative event in my aesthetic life. One of the goths (a redhead, for the sake of reference) also introduced me to Music from the Succubus Club, a mostly-darkwave compilation album which was made to accompany the game, and which I also fell in love with.

I say I knew the goths briefly because the redhead later freaked me out during one of our game nights. We were playing at another goth's house, and that guy had a girlfriend who played with us. At one point during the game, the couple had some private issue they needed to work out, so they went into an adjacent back room of the house. While they were there, the redhead stood between me and the back room, pulled out a knife, and said he had to make sure I didn't go near the room, or he'd have to use the knife.

Obviously I didn't argue with him at the time, but I decided to stay the hell away from him after that night, which led to my estrangement from the group. I just remembered this whole episode tonight while reflecting on the game and the music. Weird how a brief acquaintance with some crazy asshole had such a profound impact on me.
 
Day one of tying off a very old, unchanging and ugly mole with floss. I've been told by people it works and seems a bit more hygienic than just slicing it off. I'm really excited for next week when this thing is finally gone. Because to hell with paying $200 dollars for that shit, I've had it forever and am like 98% sure it's not melanoma.
 
he did it! killer performance for a 34 year old. one of the wimbledon classics. you'd think this means it's fed's tournament to lose, but i have a funny feeling the old djokovic is returning...

Don't jinx it bitch! Federer deserves to be the stand alone for Wimbledon singles titles rather than tied with Sampras as he's clearly the better player.

I've watched a few of Djokovic's matches so far and he does look like he's playing well.

You don't think much of Murray's chances then?
