The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Tbh I can’t be bothered to go to Italian restaurants myself. Everything is really heavy and sloppy with enough cheese and carbs to kill you on the spot and they try to feed you alcohol on top of it. You leave there feeling like the rest of the huge fat slobs in the restaurant.

edit: btw I’m wondering if this is something like the issue with Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US, in that they don’t really sell the foods of their country but instead Americanized versions.

Sitting at home, numb, brain eroded from a week of bullshit work. Feeling a vague urge to destroy something. Thinking back to a fight I saw on the metro yesterday morning. Freaked me out at the time, but man it must've felt good for at least one of those guys.

I thought the whole point of going to a restaurant was to become a fat slob. If I want to diet, I'm not gonna spend $30+/meal to do it.

If you're looking to maintain a strict diet, you pretty much can't go out and eat.

So fucking eat some pasta, drink some wine and stop fucking crying.

Italian food is often a victim of severe bastardization.

And yeah being on a diet and eating outside doesn't go together if you live in the countryside where there's not enough establishments to eat at. I believe any diet is doable if you live in a city though.

I'm listening to Summoning on the couch, we have a quick fuck scheduled for later with the wifey unit, then I'm going to sip on some barleywine. I have some expensive sugarwaters in the fridge waiting to be opened. De Molens from Holland and one Omnipollo bourbon barrel aged Aon.

Feeling too low energy to shave my head, but these 40 degree days have really sucked.

Do a reverse mohawk, then dye it pink

At work. Writing. Must. Finish. Something. At least a first draft or something. Anything.

But also lunch. Wife unit created pasta with cream sauce and mushrooms.

Microwaves in my office will recreate its proper form.

I'm currently wondering whether drunk me made a wise or brash decision by ordering $1000 headphones last night. I've been lusting after the Audeze LCD-2 for years as an endgame headphone, but figured it was too expensive so I was planning on getting a replacement for my currently worn out pair that cost around $500. Last night I just said fuck it, and bought the ones I truly wanted. Either way, looking forward to finally getting a pair of true hi-fi phones.

 

[Slammed]

For a $1000 they want to make breakfast, cut the grass and go to work for me.
I'd have suggested they need to offer sexual favours too, but it's clear that the company selling them is the one who bends you over and fucks you up the arse when they take $1000 off you for a set of headphones.

My fucking boss got me sick, so now I speak like Nergal with laryngitis and my throat feels like sandpaper. At least he gave me tomorrow off. Maybe he's feeling guilty, maybe he knows I can break him in half with my bare hands. Either way, I'm grateful

Something I've been meaning to start for ages: playing Audiosurf using the final versions of the songs from the album I released last year. Just playing each song once on each mode other than Double Vision would be about 12 hours of entertainment, but some modes take several attempts to get a decent score. Then there's Audiosurf 2!

I get that audiophile-level equipment is a niche thing, but I certainly wouldn't compare this price point to being raped up the ass. Anybody who spends any time dedicated to listening to music deserves a good setup to enjoy it. Budget setups exist, but I already abandoned that route far too long ago.

 

[Slammed]

Oooooohhhhh ferrrrr sure. Myself I don't use anything but magnetic conduction technology. Serious if I don't pay $12,000 a metre for speaker cabling my ears just refuse to even hear the sound produced.

The one time I splashed out this decade was when I paid NZ$1000 for a turntable. I only have about 25 records and rarely even play them, but it's been good for digitising a few of them. Plus I can try a bit of DJ scratching for my noise project sometime. Or play records backwards to find those satanic messages.

What's fucked up is some of the pieces of shit you'd get if you spend any more than that. Turntables that are all about the looks or bragging rights about how much money you wasted, but are swamped with negative reviews about their ability to actually play records.

 

[Slammed]

And if it they have some hip hop dude's name plastered on them they are worth more than one with a Metallica logo.

The prices of some turntables are fucking ridiculous. I get that you want it to spin perfect, but I think a good cart and needle on a halfway decent old-school table sounds about as good as it gets. I used to clean houses for high end clients and such, and this one dude had a turntable that retails for over $10,000 USD. I laughed when I saw that he left a record on it for display, something somebody who truly values their vinyl knows just ruins it.

Anyways, loving the LCD-2s. Their warmth gives me the same feeling as it was when ive seen them live, which is great. From what ive gathered this is a good metal headphone, and I now see what they mean. I could give two shits about Slammed's trailer park mentality.

 

[Slammed]

What I said wasn't said for you to give any shits about, it was said purely to wind you up, something which obviously worked given the way you reacted. If your delicate little ears feel warmer with $1000 headphones that's great and if you actually believe they make the sound of two cats fucking on a hot tin roof sound like an operatic masterpiece more power to you. Would you also like to buy some magic beans? Guaranteed you'll meet a giant.
