Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

I have not, but I hear it's fun(?).

I stepped on a big green caterpillar today. This wouldn't be out of the ordinary if not for the fact that I have puncture wounds all over the bottom of my left heel from where its spines embedded themselves. Anyway, Google assures me that it's a venomous, albeit nonfatal breed and that I should go get the spines removed ASAP. It's not so bad that I'm going to hit the hospital, so I'm going to the doctors later on.

Jesus Christ does it hurt in the meanwhile, though.

Zim - Less bare feet, eh?  It sounds unsafe in your current locale.  I hope it's no biggie!

Figured I'd pop in and see how people are doing, and I hear about the attack of the killer caterpillar

Hung out with one of my friends today. (The one I'm moving to Seattle with.) All in all I had fun. I meet his cats (he has two.) And while I have known the guy since I was in Kindergarten (which is like age 6 or 7 I think) so basically all my life. And while he loves his cats. Cats can't live on love alone. (they have food and water and lots of both) however, their litter box was nasty... I don't know how often a cat goes, but it hadn't been cleaned in a long time... And I mean, a LONG time. (I'd say like a month...) And while I like cats, I don't want to be the one cleaning up after them...

And all this will be taken care of if we get a two bathroom place, the cats litter box will be in his restroom...


Also found a GREAT apartment that was cheap, nice and had all we wanted. (Even a Washer and dryer in the apt. Which is so fucking awesome. However gona be odd having so many quarters just chilling out.) It won't be there when we move up there, but if we can get one in that place, it would be super duper awesome!

When I hear about extra quarters laying around, my mind still goes straight to the arcade option.  Pavlovian 80's conditioning at it's best!

Hahahah. Ya, I have a ton. There may be a lot of arcade action when I get up there, if we have the washer/dryer in apartment. (which I really hope we can find.)

unemployment's been pretty nifty. been booked solid almost every day since i got (temporarily) laid off. so that's great, seeing as how worried i was about expenses, but everything's bit sorted now. i'm happy

on top of that, received the most unexpected message from someone straight out of the past yesterday...
thought he was grounded for life, but looks like he's found the tao of steve and has become quite a fan of my work + had SO many pleasant words to say.

REALLY unexpected, since i probably haven't spoken to him in maybe 5-6 years now!

it was nice.

[chimera]

Nice weaving of clues there, missy. 
Nice that he's been keeping up with your career.

oh, you know... hung out with some legendary english dnb djs + multi-grammy winning artists + dita von teese tonite. typical quiet monday nite.

still adjusting to boyfriend's lifestyle. it's not surreal at alllllll...


and J: it IS totally cool that he's actually kept tabs on my work and reached out to me! he wrote paragraphs-long diatribe about how there's "humanity" in my work, etc, LOL! it's actually incredibly flattering.

Whenever I see him, I still think of his dogs.

Very cool.  I read the article and it is so true.  A lot of EDM people seem to get snooty and genre-bound moreso than other types of music fans .  Unfortunately no genre gets more hate thrown at it than dubstep (with your buddy at the top of the hit-list).  I personally don't understand why.  Just like any music, there is good and there is bad.  I assume 90% of the hate can be attributed to the fact that it is one of the more popular genres (grammy winning even) at the moment and therefore no longer cool for the EDM-hipster type of crowd.  What do you think?

Listening to that fei fei mix now.

That whole trance vs dubstep has nothing to do with it suddenly hitting mainstream, because trance sure as hell has made millions upon millions of dollars over the years -- and so many raves themselves have become mainstream, this event included. Just happened that dubstep got played to a crowd that was expecting trance set (despite being hinted in so many multiple areas that she would be playing dubstep -- or "fei-step") + were douchebags about mixing those two genres.

Also don't think finding these hardcore "purists" are exactly EDM specific. You see it in a lot of music genres. Think of all the hate Trent probably got from industrial purists when TDS came out. It's wasn't traditional industrial OR goth, yet he was getting branded the prince of darkness.  Sonny's the same way, being dubbed (no pun intended) the prince of dubstep, even tho, to UK + dubstep purists, his sound is far from it.

It's just the purity of the sound, rather than the popularity of it. And what's suddenly branded as defining that whole genre that pisses people off (if it does).
