Just had my first day of mock exams... and I actually love it! I mean... I'm pretty intelligent, and I can pass the exams no problem. Plus I get long sleeps and get to go home early. Not bad. Can't wait for my actual exams as I get a whole 5 weeks off (we don't get any time off for mock exams... sigh).

stringing cellos is easy! start at the bottom in the frog, run that fucker to the top and string it through the peg, then proceed to wind the peg util it is fauirly snug, then tune to yr hearts content!

Those two posts kind of remind me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1UXPINRvsQ

This one is for floatslo.

This cello is particularly angry at me. The tuning pegs are a bitch to use. And the fine-tuners are a bitch too. It's a wonder I haven't broken the thing in frustration.

I haven't even had it a week and it was wound wrong the first time, so I'm gonna get it done for free at the place I got it anyway.

My new girlfriend just invited me to take a trip over the holidays to Ireland with her. She even offered to pay the airfare - unfortunately I've already used up all of my vacation time for this year. Still - she's obviously awesome.

this is wasted research money that could have been better spent designing new and improved laser-hands, multi-field tracking devices or even quantum torpedoes.

only man-slaves care if they are hated. I revel in it.

I had something important to ask but that pink floyd picture has me in the shadows. And I don't even like pink floyd.

Hello ppl.

I'm hesitant to say hello to people online for one reason.

Oh shit. Fingerless gloves (hobo gloves), keep my hands warm and yet I don't lose tactile sensation.

I love hobo gloves!!

I like hobo gloves, but best of all I like the ones that flip over the little extra bit, like mittens. for when it gets far too cold for hoboness.

I was in desperate need of gloves. All I had were the gloves phoenix described in hideous bright orange and a pair of leather driving gloves. My hands are always cold, in winter it's not uncommon for them to turn purple on a daily basis.

Same here. Even here in FL.

Yay, sugar headache!

I want hobo gloves now.

You and me both.
I want some obnoxiously colored ones... something like lime green and a dull burnt orange.

I'm suffering from the same thing. I had to stop reading about an earlier than I wanted to because I count sit still and focus. Double espress + hot chocolate+Skittles+Smarties+Pineapple Orange juice=roughly 1 rock of crack.

My hobo gloves are black. Black is the predominant color in my wardrobe because it looks damn good.

I want a bloody red one for the next rave I go to.

Black is hot, you're right. I like turtlenecks in black. But not jeans. Black jeans are ew.

I had a piece of really disgustingly rich pie and the entire time I was playing Star Wars Battlefront (for about 7 hours this last time), my legs were shaking and I was constantly biting my lip.

All I do anymore is play Battlefront, now that my computer is borked. :(

I'm on the fence about black jeans as I don't own a pair right now. I'm thinking about investing in a pair when I can find some that fit properly. Black tight-fitting t-shirts, when done properly and on the right person, are unbeatable.

Currently I have both legs going and am giving this piece of Dentine the what-for.

I have a pair of black skinny jeans, and they're alright I guess. Black + black = too much black, for me.

I don't think even I would go black+black. Black+dark blue jeans are wonderful. That being said, black+light blue jeans are my usual combo.

Mine as well.
Well... kind of.
I think too much of any color is a sensory overload.

That is true. I won't go solid black tees, they have to have some kind of print to break up the lines.

Gah...I want to go home tomorrow, but I don't want to drive there. Damn this complete lack of teleportation.

Fuck transportation.
Wanna help me build a teleporting pod?

My wife has a pair of hobo gloves with penguins on them.

Fuck that, I've seen the Fly. I'll leave the building, initial test-portations up to someone who doesn't mind turning into a fly.

True dat.

I could fly, but that would be the biggest waste of $100 and 20 minutes ever.

Flying is for chumps.

For long distances journeys that I'll will not be driving or amongst good friends, I'd rather fly. I'd still probably have to change planes in Atlanta.
As the old joke goes, "You can get a plane to Hell and you'd still have to change planes in Atlanta."

Every flight I have ever taken has had a stop in Atlanta.
Okay, not EVERY flight, but most.

I think the only one I've ever been on that didn't deal with Atlanta was D.C. to Knoxville coming back from Europe. Going over we left from...you guessed it, Atlanta.

I fucking hate the Atlanta airport. There's nothing there of any interest whatsoever.

We were waiting there for about 4 or 5 hours for the flight out. Miserable. I ate stale pizza and listening to people drone on and on and on about being afraid of Europe.

Afraid of Europe? wtf?
