I have loads of cracked free software here!
 

Just kidding. How are ya mates?
I'm eating fishfingers and tomato here. Was listening to The La's again today. Must be my favourite band ever again.

I'm awesome, Matt, thanks for asking!

I just renovated the layout of my den/studio/guest room.

I painted an old wooden dresser (that was in the studio) all white and put pretty knobs on it; it is now in my daughter's room.

I took the really cool maple changing table from her room, uninstalled the top frame and VOILA! :shock: The changing table is now a nice new stand for my 1200s and its coffin!

I also just tidied it up a bit in general...will post pics soon.

Oh, and I have sworn off alcohol for thirty days since Sunday.

Christmas is coming sooner than we think so I must save for some presents for the kids.

What's your favorite song by "The La's?"

Cheers!

Life is dandy Matsa!

Been on location today with olympic swimmer Brooke Hanson:

Alex, There She Goes is the most well known one. They only made one album, so there's not much to choose from! Everyone of them is a winner though. Have you ever heard it?

Nice work Jase! Is Brooke now a TV presenter?

Otherwise.. I started a new group at evening school last night. Total beginners. Got a Chinese bloke and a Venezuelan girl in the class, plus the usual assortment of Finnish suspects. Riotous fun. I love teaching beginners.

"There she goes" is the theme song from "So I Married an Axe Murderer" right?

I have not heard that album, but will definitely check it out.

Have you ever heard Chapterhouse (Pearl) or House of Love (Christine) or Kitchens of Distinction?

I listened to the hell out of them in the late eighties/early nineties.

Also there is a song on one of the later albums of The Church (Prist = Aura) titled "Feel" that was a killer track.

My studio is so fekking organizd now!

I was up until 1:00 AM getting it into tip top shape.

"Ein Platz fur alles und alles ins Platz!"

:wink:

It is indeed the theme tune from IMAAM. It's also the advertising jingle for Knorr soup in Finland. Which is funny, cos it's a song about heroin! Check the lyrics.

In fact, some kind soul seems to have uploaded the whole album here, but I noticed that you have to start with the last track first etc.

Pics of your studio Alex please!

:wink:

I'm listening to Strapping Young Lad and ripping Bowie's The Buddha of Suburbia soundtrack to mp3's. My life is so exciting!

I've got that CD at home, I can't remember it at all aside from knowing that it is shoe gazer stuff, I should rip it and listen to it again sometime.

do you like Ride, I keep going back to Going Blank Again, fantastic album.

I am bloody sad right now.. I haven't cried like this for ages.. My dog passed away today and it bloody hurts as hell and I can't belive that he's gone now.

Damn, really sorry to hear that 303. :(

I know how you feel, you can get so darned attached to the little blighters. My last dog was my rock and best ever buddy, lol - george, a rescued cairn terrier, stunk to fuck as he had an incurable skin/hair disorder but i still loved him to death. He was my little sidekick, followed me literally everywhere. What killed me was that we had to give him steroid tablets (as a very last resort - believe me, we tried absolutely everything else first) to stop him manically scratching himself alive due to his skin problem, but the steroids eventually took its toll and made him lose his sight and started to cause liver failure. It absolutely killed me to the core to give him the tablets, but it was the only thing that gave him literally any quality of life for his latter several years - and the steroids really did help him massively in the interim.

The way I've come to accept it (after having and losing three dogs so far), we're always going to outlive dogs (and cats), and you can only do what you can while they're with you, and if they've had a good life with being with you that's all you can ever do. Sure leaves a hole on the carpet where you still expect to see them for a while, though. :| Had to get myself a new louder doorbell too, lol.

Sympathies and best wishes mate.

Oh no. Sorry to hear that Sebastian. So sad when they go, they're so loyal and unconditional.

It feels abit better today.. Not good but better.. He was going to be 16 in December so he was old but still.. I've known that this day would come but I couldn't be prepared for it at all.

I've been keeping myself really busy the last few days just to keep those thoughts away. I had a few beers yesterday.. Today I'll be working on a tattooartist-homepage.

Sorry to hear that 303! Dogs are the best people (as some song I heard some where says). RIP.

Thanks mate

Sebastian,

I'm sorry for your loss.

My friend Eric lost his 15-year old pug (Otis) a few months ago.

Otis was his best buddy and he was crushed over the loss.

He just bought a new pug puppy and named him "Wu-Fu."

Check him out; he's adorable.

I hope you get another dog when you are ready.

They truly are man's best friend and really boost our quality of life.

Cheers mate!

I was trying to pick up some woman last night who looks like that dog pic there Alex. Not quite as cute though, if I'm honest.

Matt,

A few more beers and she could have been cuter than that puppy.

;)

The wife and kids are at church; I'm here jamming out.

:twisted:

Is she praying that you'll die soon?

She does that in her sleep; I've heard it all by now.

Unfortunately for her I'm worth more alive than dead right now.

:lol:

Back on topic...

... I would.

What's up fellas?
303: Sorry to hear about that. I have two American Bulldogs and am dreading the day that happens!!

On a lighter note, I haven't been around here much lately. School Is keeping me so busy. I am taking 17 hours this semester and am fuckking swimming to keep my head above water with all the work. Not having a job is fucking nice though!!
Living in NYC is probably as crazy as I have ever imagined it. My last time out I saw a girl get hit by a car and go flying into the air in Chinatown. On that same night we saw a police sting on a cabbie that was dealing drugs. About 10 cops came running down the street and ripped the cabbie right out of the car.
The view from our apartment is absolutely amazing. I can never get enough of looking at the statue of liberty while I am going to bed!! Will try to post some recent pics. Life is good though. A hell of a lot better than being in the military. I will try to make it around more in the next few weeks.

Merlot mate

I love NYC. Please take some pics mate from your window. Maybe you could start a blog about it?
Fuck conspiracies. Let's just all get a blog going..?

Maybe I will start a blog! But I will definitely post some pics.

Matsa,
Looks like you have quit going to the library and bought a new computer for your house?

Famous last words! :D

Sounds great there Merl. Some pics would be nice for sure.

Merlot: Thanks.. It feels abit better, but still not great..

Sounds like you're having a blast in NY. It sure sounds crazy!
