Yeah, the previous owner of the cello actually sharpied on the frets. Not with black of course, but with silver... Some of it is still on there.

I should really do that. God, it's a bitch to tune, too.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:18 AM

Wonder if a fretted cello would work? Hm...
I'd like to be a decent musician, but if my current listening trends continue for a few months or a year, my current level of musicianship will be more than proficient.

The whole "no frets" thing really throws me off.


Is this where the "don't fret about it" phrase has its origins, I wonder?

& so how does this answer my question exactly?

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:23 AM

I don't think it does. I think that instance is covered by definition 3 or 4. Not sure, though.

I would think as much.

gmku 12.17.2008 12:24 AM

Just kidding. Bad joke. Too late. Too many beers. Missing my puppies (boarded for the holidays). Going to bed now.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 12:26 AM

Wait! Before you go, could you toss me a beer?

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:31 AM

This reminds me, I should probably try to save my rum in case of New Years party with friends. I would be a hero.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 12:32 AM

An hero.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:35 AM

If I tried to drink it all myself, yes. but I don't intend to buy the farm.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 12:36 AM

I love that saying.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:38 AM

It is wonderful, but I'd think rural folk without land would find it demeaning. Fuck 'em.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 12:40 AM

They can go fuck themselves. Preferrably with rakes, or cacti, or something sharp and potent.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 12:42 AM

That's the spirit!

You've earned some lulz

 


Numbers 25:1
While the Israelites were staying at Shittim, the men began having sex with the Moabite women.

So many laughs...

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 01:15 AM

Whoever made that:
1) has too much time on their hands
2) should marry me

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 01:17 AM

I can't wait until they get to Revelations.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 01:22 AM

I can't wait til I get to sleep.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 01:24 AM

I'm heading that way very soon.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 01:25 AM

Me too, I think. I hope.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 01:30 AM

I was going to try to put in an epicly long movie that would make me fall asleep but my DVD player shite itself and won't work anymore.

terriblecanyons 12.17.2008 01:32 AM

What a load of shit.

Playing games on my ipod isn't even making me tired enough to sleep. I know that if I try, I'll just stare at the ceiling the whole time.

If only I could e-share the bottle with you. I've had one rum and Coke out of the liter bottle, so there's plenty to go around.

I'm seriously considering pursuing a relationship with a straight-edge non-monogamist. I might have lost my mind.

schizophrenicroom 12.17.2008 07:13 PM

i say go for it. i never thought i'd end up with my current boyfriend.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 10:09 PM

Yeah, I'm trying going to go for it. I mean, we hang out all the time and just connect, and unless I'm totally mistaken, there is mutual attraction. The new year will tell.

and what the fuck is with Myspace and making me type a Captcha every time I log in...

schizophrenicroom 12.17.2008 10:24 PM

if there's mutual attraction, then eee! that's awesome. go josh!

the bf's coming out of a super bad year so 2009 is going to be a nice clean slate.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 10:26 PM

Oh yeah totally great...the non-monogamist thing is the only sticking point. I guess it allows for more freedom and less stress if you can handle it, but there's always the fact that neither of you are mutually exclusive. I'm just not sure how to handle that.

schizophrenicroom 12.17.2008 10:28 PM

maybe there's a long conversation to be had and she'll see that uh, you make killer mixtapes and kick ass in general.

✌➬ 12.17.2008 10:28 PM

Lately I have been drinking and getting some vicodin.

schizophrenicroom 12.17.2008 10:29 PM

i want a nice cold beer. a beer and then a glass of wine.

gah. it needs to be the weekend.

i'm off to bed boys, my body is screaming at me to get some sleep.

✌➬ 12.17.2008 10:29 PM

K get well rested.

Oh fuck yeah! This is totally true. I think of a lot of it is her past history. One of the first thing she ever said to me was: "I date assholes and then I make them cry." It's weird too because we lived 6 hours apart but our collective world is kind of small. My friend from 6th grade until now lives across the hall from her brother at college and several of our friends are mutual, despite not knowing it until we met. Eww, now I'm gushing like a 14-year old girl. shit.
