Hopstretch Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Got really sick really suddenly. Fever, dizziness, muscle pains, migraine. I feel like a pig shat in my head. Hoping against hope I haven't already given whatever it is to the kids, 'cause that will be a horror show. Also, thank you God for TV and its emergency childminding abilities. Poor poor pitiful me etc.
Beefy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Got really sick really suddenly. Fever, dizziness, muscle pains, migraine. You know, that sounds like the exact same thing I had last week, as did my partner's father. And we're on the other side of the world Get better!
Sherwood Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I did nothing today but download rifftrax illegally (and then donate to them for what I downloaded) and watch them. I mustered the motivation to tweak my speaker setup a little bit and then listened to some Amanda Palmer and Decemberists. All in all, it was a great day to burn a little sick time before it goes belly up on the first.

JBLoudG20 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Missed 3 LIRR trains this morning. What a way to start out the day. I do not miss the daily train commute to the city.
deepak Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Transferring about 40 GB from my laptop to my desktop over our wired network. And then installing a new hardrive in the laptop.
Salt Peanuts Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Drive 45 minutes to work (instead of usual 20) and had one of the least productive day in the last month or two. Then came home and got to clear the driveway of snow. I had forgotten how much I don't like shoveling snow.
Aimless1 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Arrived at work late (rare), incredibly busy day, rearended on the way home. Wife cleared the driveway of snow.
Fungi Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 One of those days, huh. Those things just like to happen on the same day.
Aimless1 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 As they say in Avenue Q..."it sucks to be me"
Duggeh Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Cleaned up the mess of housemates birthday party. Slogged on dissertation draft. Procrastinated on the internets.
aardvark baguette Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 posted a bunch of pathology presentations on the web.
Voltron Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Worked from home. Founded Rain Man Records with JP#s. Definitely needledrop'd 8 records. Went to my son's school for a pot luck holiday lunch and presentation of Native American reports.
n_maher Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Founded Rain Man Records with JP#s. Need a technical adviser? Technically I don't know squat about records or recording but when has that ever stopped anyone? Also, I was once part owner of "Kick in the Pants Productions" and "Stageline Security", maybe that qualifies as experience?

We have no standards so your experience is perfectly acceptable. We debated whether the name should be Bay Area Analog Association, but figured the sheep jokes would get old quickly. Plus, JP does a mean Rain Man impression and it helps to pass the time through the tedium of needle-dropping.

I have records that I drop all the time and I have a needle.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I can't imagine a lawyer would want to get mixed up in a bootleg house.
tyrion Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I can't imagine a lawyer would want to get mixed up in a bootleg house. Bootleg house? It's needle drops from our own albums for our own personal use.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Well, it doesn't sound like much of a very profitable "record label", then, now does it?
tyrion Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Well, it doesn't sound like much of a very profitable "record label", then, now does it? Not everything is about profit. ;)
