I do music production (mostly lo fi rock, no midi) and got curious about those a while back and picked one up. Installed Vital. I’ve never put anything out with it but it’s a ton of fun to play with. You could totally use one to create some great music if you wanted.
Big hugs, friend. You’re not alone out here. It gets better. Take your time.
I have stories! I never recognize anyone.
A friend once got a haircut and it took me weeks to figure out who she was. I just thought she was a new person hanging out with someone there and wanted to be my friend because she kept talking to me.
Many years ago I looked right at my (now ex) partner at an airport when I was picking her up and kept on looking for her. We lived together at the time.
I ran into my lead singer at the store. He was wearing the same thing he always wears but had his hair pulled back. He stopped and talked to me and apparently I looked like I was trying to escape. He was telling the story at band practice when I had to admit I didn’t recognize him.
This is an ongoing problem in my life. I probably have a dozen of these stories that I can remember off the top of my head and a hundred more that I could dig out. I wouldn’t even want to guess how many people have talked to me that I don’t realize I knew them. Clark Kent taking off his glasses and suddenly becoming unrecognizable is totally reasonable to me. Dude could look me in the eyes, take off his glasses, and it would be like a whole new person appeared.
Cold jeans. It’s a fucking scarecrow again
I’ll happily second all this, except that my favorite is Imajica and second favorite is The Great and Secret Show.
And if you’re into shorter stories, the two Books of Blood omnibuses are WAY more hits than misses. Seven of the stories were turned into 12 films, TV movies, or episodes of horror anthology shows (though to be fair 4 of those are Candyman).
If you enjoy the big kahuna, try it with the chipotle mayo they put on the 43. I think everyone actually knows this but I still recommend it every chance I get.
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.
If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.
Yep. Too many people think attractive only means good looking. I may not be good looking, but I’m not real smart either. I forget where I was going with this.
That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.
Is it? I’m not the one downvoting here, I’m just not convinced. There’s still a lot of folks drinking drip coffee at home or at greasy spoon joints every day. Starbucks and the like is loudly popular but tons of folks still use the old drip machines or (ugh) cup/pod systems.
I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.
Oh! I think maybe I wasn’t clear because I was still drunk. I was co-signing the keyboard. There’s one next to my desk.
