Been a few years now since I've played MTG. Last block I was in for was Ravnica. Still have a lot of my stuff and have been meaning to sell it off once again for a few $$$. Vintage was by far the most interesting format, iirc the last deck I was building/proxying was Vroman Oath.

FFF Alpha King.

Got that album a few days back myself, still have to listen. Thrice - The Illusion of Safety First listen to anything from Thrice, ever. I like it so far. More punk influence in this one that I was expecting. I thought they were more progressive rock-like. No matter.

Good luck Jim .

Happy birthday Jacob, hope the leg doesn't put a damper on your day.

rock on baguette.

Happy birthday Steve!

Devo - Something For Everybody

Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma

Hardest laugh I've had in a few days.

^ x2 ^

Happy holidays everyone! Going to be nuts for me, have about 5 different gatherings to attend.

Happy birthday Ken!

I meant to reply to your wall post on fbook but I will just let you know here - MUST hang out and hear these tekton's. FFF would be an excellent prelude I think.

Had my second full-time position interview today. Went very well, but both the interviewer and I agreed that my passion or interest in sales is, at the moment, to be determined. I'm just not sure the position is right for me. The company seems pretty great overall and extremely professional, especially considering the industry (residential home renovation), but I don't think that would be enough to drag myself into a role I'm really not looking for right now. Hrm. Tonight - dinner at some decent italian restaurant on Taylor in Chicago with Allison, my now-former roommate, his fiancee, and 2-3 other friends.

The Radio Dept. - Pet Grief

Couldn't make it but the shirt is too awesome. Medium in blue if possible .

Happy birthday Ato, rock on man.

It's an unfortunate and intended result of product strategy from some asshole corporations. Inducing outdatedness through design = frequent consumer refreshing = more revenue. :/

True that. I'm sorta hoping that I can join in on the Sundays @ FFF tradition on occasion. Looking forward to it. Thanks 'gents, getting acclimated to post-college life will be undoubtedly easier having been guided by this group.

Awesome pics everyone.

As of *much* earlier tonight I finished my senior fall semester. One left. Fark. Real world is quickly approaching.

Sounds like your grandfather had a wonderful life, Steve. Best wishes to you and your family. Jacob, get better dude. Relax in post-op with a cigar. Somehow I doubt they'll let you do that.

Incredible story Dinny. I'm sorry to say that like Justin, Lennon was way before my time. Unlike Justin, I've never really been into the Beatles and haven't been influenced by Lennon as an artist. I have, however, been influenced by Lennon as a man. He seemed to exude the very definition of a humanitarian. RIP.

In this meet's honor I'm going to get fucking drunk this weekend once I've cleared my way through most of my semester exams. Good 1,200th post?
