Guys I am so excited to go to Anthrocon this year and I realize that makes me a special kind of weirdo but it's gonna be so awesome. Last year I spent most of my time in the game room playing Dance Dance Revolution or Rock band, or in The Zoo (giant meeting area, just full of tables and chairs) making friends with random people. It's like Otakon only smaller and the people are nicer. Or, you know.. weirder.

Now I just need to find people to share a hotel room with me. If all goes well it will only cost me $200 total to get there, go to the con, stay 4 nights, and get home!

He's actually been told for 15 years that he was gonna die very soon. I think that's awesome in itself, how long he's defeated the odds.

condolences, jd

gotta admit, I love it when doctors tell people they're gonna die but they're like "nah, i'm not feeling that" and end up surviving anyway


there was a kid that went to my highschool who had cancer and they said "you won't make to thanksgiving" but he did, then they said "you won't make it to christmas" and yet again, he did. All the while he was getting worse and worse, but surviving. Then they said, "okay we don't really have a time frame for you but are definitely going to die really soon and there's nothing you can do about it."

So he gave up, started partying his ass off (in a wheelchair), and smoking a shitload of weed.

six months later he was cancer free

That really was a great post. I'm definitely a fan of good things like that too.

JD, I'm sorry to hear of it. It seems pretty clear the way you spoke of him that you cared for him a lot, which says a lot about him as a person. The best to your family.

This weekend was pretty fucking rad for me. Had a show in Berkeley, we played at somebody's birthday party. Went pretty alright. This morning Kabir and I took two hours and wrote an entire song which we're pretty proud of. We recorded a pretty nice-sounding draft of it on his iPhone, which is now officially my new favorite tool for recording shit on the fly. I keep listening over and over, which has never happened before for me. It's a pretty major breakthrough, for me to collaborate with somebody on that level and to even have something I'm proud of as much as I am of this. Posting it in the 'talk about yr own music' thread in BAND.

So despite fairly regular moaning about how growing older sucks and the less frequent but equally vehement bitching about selling out my dreams to be responsible, there are upsides!   I am, at this moment, sitting in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton in Ft Lauderdale watching a never ending stream of mostly attractive women in bathing suits go by.  I have a great room, am eating fantastic food, andam expected to stay drunk for the week. Best of all, it's not only paid for, but I'm getting paid to do it.  Hooray being an old corporate sell out.

Dad is home sick with a chest infection and general man cold. He just come into my room to let me know he's staying home with his phone. He then walks off with it and comes back a few seconds later to ask me if he left it in here. We then found it next to his computer. He's so terrifically addled.

Started work on a new song with my friend Lukas. After the thousandth time of him asking me, "Well, what do you want us to sound like?" I finally said "Dude. Fuck that question. We're utlimately gonna do what we feel like anyway, so fuck it, let's just make music we like." He was quiet for a minute, and I worried for a second that I'd been too harsh. Then suddenly he got a big shit-eating grin on his face and we continued what we were doing. Problem solved. Maybe that little discussion will help break down the mental barriers we've both put up against writing shit.

Also, he officially became a recruit of the Air Force today. I know he's super excited, and I've been enthusiastic in supporting him, but at the same time I've got mixed feelings. Like, I'm gonna miss that fool when he leaves for basic. Oh well. We're gonna spend as much time as we can hanging out and making music in the meanwhile.

If my boyfriend is any indicator, a man cold is like a regular cold, only you have a constant low-pitched whine coming out of you because you're SOOOO SIIIICK AND TIIIRED AND WAAAAHHHH

I whined less when I had strep throat that almost put me in the hospital! And only some of that was because I had baseballs in my throat.

Over Christmas break I had a cold and the only reason I'd whine was because the dog I was watching wouldn't leave me alone. During that time period I think that dog whined more than I have in my entire life.

Nope, that's Man Flu.

I've always taken a Man Cold to be any ailment that is not a cold but a man is toughing out and saying "it's just a cold" in order to look dedicated or garner some sympathy.

Mind you any time a man even mentions suffering a symptom of some disease or ailment, even in the most pragmatic, observational manner, some woman will be around to patronise them about suffering from Man Flu and talk slowly at them. (Not actually everytime but it feels like it sometimes).

In a study about the world's most livable cities, Pittsburgh was the highest ranking US city. I'm fairly surprised about this, but I've never lived in another large city to know what an "unlivable" city is like.

Also, Pittsburgh was number 29, so 28 world cities are better to live in, and none of them are in the US. What the fuck US? 29th is the best you can do?

See, my boyfriend picks on me for being whiny all the time. And I have to admit, I do whine. But at least I'm conscious of it, and working on doing it less.

He almost never whines, until he gets sick. Then he's worse than I've ever been. I never accuse him of faking it, I know he wouldn't do that and he's really sick. But when I ask if he wants something (as I'm doing my best to take care of him when I'm home), he can't just nod or say yes. He has to do this awful, sad puppy dog face and a "yeeeesssss" whine. I get it. You're sick. It sucks. Shut up already.

A heavy weight is put on all gun related crime as violent crime as well as things like obesity levels (inherently tied to culture and environment) non-vehicular access to facilities (I think somewhere like Pheonix has a accident and emergency hospital that it is illegal to access without a car), air pollution levels and so on. The US does a lot of things very well, alas when it doesn't do something well, in the view of the developed international community, it tends to do them very badly. It's this counterbalance that knocks US cities down the scale. Other more "livable" cities might not do somethings as well, but it will do other things less badly. Events like New Orleans revealed the massive social inequities that exist in the US but by and large "the American Dream" isn't that interested in redressing them. Although by no means exemplified by the American members of this board, there exists a national social tendancy towards greed and selfishness.

huh, I was just joking but I was actually close.

In a study about the world's most livable cities, Pittsburgh was the highest ranking US city. I'm fairly surprised about this, but I've never lived in another large city to know what an "unlivable" city is like.

I've lived in many large cities, including New York, Pittsburg, and now Chicago, so I might have some insight. I'll bet cost of living was a big factor in the rankings, since other cities cost so much more than Pittsburgh. That's certainly a large part of why I enjoy living in Chicago more than I did New York; for less rent I can have a bigger apartment and not live in a food desert.

hey guys so remember that time where i told you guys that i found a bike and then you all told me i was a dick? THE STORY HAS CONCLUDED!

so last thursday, it was a gorgeous day outside (like, 60-something F) and i decide to bike out the class. so i break out the fixie, bike to class, go to class, and after class i bike into town and lock the bike up. im hang out for a while, and then one of my buddies starts giving me shit for finding such a nice bike. all of the sudden one guy is like "THATS A STOLEN BIKE" and points to it so i ask if he knows the owner and he did so we eventually got a hold of the owner and the dude got his bike back. lil bummed i dont have it anymore, but im okay with that since, you know, that wasnt my bike. turns out though that the owner is a dumbass and is in the habit of leaving his bike unlocked.

SO YEAH THAT IS OVER WITH. and there is nothing else that is interesting about my life right now.

Went to my friend Andy's invitational open-mic thing tonight. Wound up playing a couple songs on guitar and then spent most of the night playing bass for whoever wanted bass in their music. People chose to play a bunch of blues, and then they all got really excited when I did a good job of playing music in the easiest style possible for bassists. People at jam nights are so easy to please.

After the music was done, spoke with the bar owner after a formal introduction by my bud. We may be getting together tomorrow so I can help him plan out his P.A. arrangement. I might even wind up working for the bar as their house sound guy. Cool by me, I'd love to be able to quit that damned Target gig that isn't giving me hours anymore.

Lately I'm starting to think my best friend Lukas isn't really feeling very happy. Before officially becoming an Air Force recruit, he seemed to have a lot more joy for the things he did. Now he's just kinda blah. I've asked him if there's something wrong, something making him feel crappy about life, but he just told me no. But like... I know the guy better than that. He was like this for a while after his Opa died, and he was like this when he realized he hardly knew anybody who was still in Livermore anymore. He kinda took that pretty hard. I don't know what to do about this; I know something's bothering him and I really want to help, but he's not giving me much to work with. Gonna keep my ears open though.

Dear blog thread,

We have a new housemate! She was born in Britain, lived in Canada until she was like 16 then moved to New Zealand until a month ago. Suffice to say, her vowels are all over the place! But most amusingly, she actually says 'eh' at the end of her sentences. It will bring me much joy.

That's all!

My Australian cousin and her husband who live in London (I've also got Australian cousins who live in Australia and English cousins who don't live in London, it's a little complicated) have a good friend, also Australian, who married an Englishwoman, and due to the confluence of cultural influences said Englishwoman actually has been known to greet people, entirely unselfconsciously, with "How's it going, orright?"

Just as Canadians supposedly add "eh" to everything, New Zealanders supposedly address everyone as "bro".

Well maybe not women.

I had a Canadian TA for a soil science class who really did put an Eh in just about every sentence and pronounced her o's adorable. Aboot! She was awesome.

She has made mention of the 'bro' phenomenon. I am still adjusting to it, but I understand her quite well.

For the record, I really don't think I say "aboot", but I must point out that the vowel sound in "sorry" is O. Not "ah", or "aw". I'm sorry, not sahrry.

Oh no! Different cultures have different accents! One is clearly right while the others are wrong.

I'll settle for saying aboot if it means I don't sound like I'm from Hoboken.
