I was hanging out with a friend once and we were doing the whole “what do you want for lunch” “oh I don’t mind what were YOU thinking” thing and after three minutes she goes “I’m not allowed to do this” and pulled her phone out, called her Dominant and says “where should we eat”
I’m still laughing
It is more expensive to rent a room at Drum Central, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to worry about finding things, crumbling cymbals, or buying my own hi-hat clutch. Both places are very convenient for fancy Leith bakeries.
Didn't realise I was chatting to Dan the drum tutor's boss when I was in Drum Central excitedly saying how patient and nice he was. Now need to go back to say how Dan went above and beyond going on a call to help me set up the drums at Sketchy Beats.
Sound is essential for appreciating elephant seals
And we won’t like him when he’s angry. Largely because we also don’t like him when he’s not.
Might be going to play with a proper drum set after the gym! I'm going to need ear defenders. Ideally with cat ears on them.
Question for UK people: what are some current reliable sites to look at if I'm intending to buy a cheap-ish refurbished laptop?
As in, sites you or someone you know has actually used, not whatever you can find via google. I have a big list of sites, I just don't know which are any good.
What if there was a big pond we could go to for day and all just hang out. On big artificial lillypads, indoors, artificial swamp with all the weird bugs and strange smells taken out. More of a relaxing kinda place. You have to go in there in a frog costume, provided at the door, you sorta just...
if you go to another country for this, they should be allowed to hunt you for sport
Recipe card with block printed beans and can. 2-3 Tbsp rendered bacon fat, olive oil, or butter 1 onion, finely diced or pureed (or 1/2 tsp onion powder) 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder) 1 Tbsp tomato paste (optional) 1 tsp vegetable, beef, or chicken bouillon paste, such as Better Than Bouillon (optional) 1 Tbsp smoked paprika 2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp oregano, preferably Mexican Generous pinch ancho or cayenne chili powder Pepper to taste Salt to taste 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (optional) Two 15-ounce cans pinto, kidney, or black beans 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey, brandy, or beer 1 tsp lime juice Heat fat in a heavy-bottomed pot. If using fresh onion and garlic, sweat them. If using tomato paste and/or bouillon paste, cook out. Add spices and herbs and warm until fragrant, about a minute. Deglaze with alcohol. Pour beans, including bean canning liquid, into the pot. Reduce until bean liquid is thickened to close to desired consistency. Stir in lime juice just after removing from heat. The beans will thicken as they cool. You can mash the beans with a fork or potato masher if yo`u prefer a smoother texture.

Excited about thecrude.bandcamp.com/album/cat-no.... Going to make Gizmoo into a noise musician and put her on Bandcamp so she can earn her stinky little treats.
I get these just enough for intermittent reinforcement, but not enough to get me working out as often as I'd like to if I could get a consistent result. Annoying.
Comfortable travel and accommodation for every gig that sounded interesting for me and friends. Long dinners with academics or enthusiasts who tell me about their subjects of interest over fancy drinks and cheese. Tutors in anything that grabs my interest, and a personal tailor.
I am already planning the stupid photos I will take of it and Gizmo :)
Take a deep breath for a big sigh, as I gasp and covet www.killstar.com/products/tar..., and sympathise briefly with Mr. Sparrow, who doesn't like spiders nearly as much as I do.
Weird-ass liqueurs are one of my favourite things to share with friends ("friends"?) and @nickoctopus.bsky.social. I need these glasses.
When playing a noise set, there might only be a few people in the audience, but this is an advantage as it allows you to make and sustain prolonged, intense eye contact with every one of them, forging a deep personal relationship the likes of which artists in better attended genres could only dream.
Tonight on stream I'll be continuing my quest to build a music library that anyone can use for their creative projects.
Last week was space-themed with all the Artemis II news and I don't think I'm quite done with Ambient Space Music

Your Kindle's not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak — and I'll show you how it's done
You can transform your old Kindle — even a bricked device — into the ultimate open-source reader. Here's how.

What an inconvenient time to feel slightly sore, quite giggly, very sweaty, and ready to dance to goth cheese for the next two hours. Tragically, I can't afford to bring my PT to Infest and I'd get thrown out of Ascension for smelling like I do right now. Not even clove cigarettes can help
Off to the gym to hopefully start the path to a chin-up, so obviously it's a trellick.bandcamp.com/album/muscle... sort of day. The cargo shorts call seductively.
What artist or band was the originator of the aggrotech neck makeup
A pair of suede split-toe derbies. One shoe is turned over, so you can see the underside. The sole features the outline of a small cat.
A black and white cat.
Just remembered I have a pair of shoes with a cat "monogram." The shoes were made in Romania and they gave me the option of adding a monogram. I asked if they could do my cat instead. The design was made by nailing small tacks — same ones to make the heel — at the shoe's waist.
A thatched roof with 2 chimney pots. Atop the roof, instead of the usual duck or pheasant made of thatch, there stands a majestic T-rex
Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

A fat brown tabby cat is looking up from a dream of food, probably. She is leaning against a sideways and ridiculous pumpkin spice latte shaped cushion, and lounging on a fleecy blanket.
Miss Giz and I disagree on many things, including when to listen to my future drumming playlist and how many stinky treats she needs to struggle through another day of human bullshit. I might give her more if she could promise to stop eating spiders.
Basically if someone calls you a slut with the implication you deserve poor treatment, bending over backwards to explain that you are actually not a slut like those sluts over there is disappointing behaviour.
The Nine Inch Noize (Trent, Atticus, Alex and Mariqueen!!) performance at Coachella is free to view (and fucking wonderful)

Aww my microbiome fancies some high quality fermented foods does it? A little kombucha perhaps? I don't give a shit, I'm the megabiome, I do what I want. I'm having a fanta lemon. I'll swallow coins.
I'd forgotten this one, an important twitter text.
