Microsoft Office.

It's like a hurricaine of bullshit.

Ripped the crotch on my favorite jeans

Should be able to patch them though.

fucking postal system leaving a notice that that won't be delivering the package and now I'm waiting around for 1:30pm the next day so I can go pick it up.

My random annoyances of the day?
- paying 2100€ to get my car fixed
- paying 220€ for the AC maintenance in the studio
- paying a fee of 140€ for driving too fast

There was a Pearl Masters Custom Shell Pack for sale on Craigslist for $350. And I am too poor to afford it

Damn-Max how fast did you drive?

my personal random annoyance of the day:
wanted to get some promo shoots for my business done today, we came up with some
cool ideas and so on, everything outdoors, but the weather fucked it all up.
It was already stormy, rainy, sunny and cloudy today, everything a few times...had to cancel the shooting.

That's fucking nothing! I literally just paid a $370 speeding ticket... feels bad man.

Had a band in here last week. Bass player told me she wanted a The Air I Breathe bass tone (Joey sturgis super clank) but she hadn't changed her strings in over a year AND she wanted to finger pick.

AdamG94 · April 23rd, 2012, 01:40 PM

Cancellations. Fucking cancellations. I'm going to have to start taking a non-refundable deposit if this keeps happening, it's getting ridiculous.

I'm with you on that one.
Got a band just now coming back to me after leaving before the EP process was over. -_-

Only 131 km/h actually

It's ridiculous really - I was driving on the A3, and there was no speed limit until the Autobahn went downhill and suddenly it was restricted to 100 km/h.. Let's just say I didn't immediately hit the brakes like a retard and it takes some time to get down to 100 from 190

I never go 30 km/h over the speed limit really, at least not knowingly haha. Also got 3 points, and if I get another speeding ticket within the next year my license is gone.

Woah that's a lot xD How fast did you go over the limit?

pitoga · April 23rd, 2012, 09:31 PM

Just was about to finish my studio build which took me many month and a whole lot of money, and the landlord decides to rise the price at the same time my dad gets fired of his job (he helps me with the studio expenses). Don't know what to do.

I was clocked at 80 in a 65 zone... it was 3pm on a weekday and I was the only car on the downhill road. Bullshit.

Dude, what the hell do you drive? I'm terrified to get my car over anything more than 130!

Ouch, that would only cost about 60€ over here xD And yep, downhill roads suck haha.

My trusty VW Polo

I don't usually go this fast though, but we were on our way to a gig and had to get there in time. (Though I did drive over 240 km/h with a friends BMW one time haha. But it's not really fun anymore at that speed)

Performance anxiety

for real, it's pretty normal I guess, do something strange before you go on stage, the guys from Rammstein for example always listen to some
kind of mariachi music to get in the right mood but everybody is a bit different and performance anxiety is different for everyone, too.
I am getting tired for example every time, and I mean really tired, almost falling asleep while standing around and so on, not able to do
anything so I try to just go for a walk outside of the location, get some fresh air, smoke some cigarettes and calm down-release the
kraken as soon as I get on stage

Honestly, I probably should have had a glass of wine before the performance. I did take an atenolol (beta-blocker) but I think I took it was too late for it to have an real effect before performing. This was my first time performing solo, and I did okay, but I could have done better. A positive experience overall, but terribly stressful.

I think adding to the anxiety was the fact that I felt like I had no support. This performance meant a lot to me, because it was a semester's worth of work and it was also my first time singing for an audience as a soloist. I gave people like two to three months notice in advance, and while some told me flat out they couldn't make it, others seemed more able to make it. Most of my classmates had family show up, one girl even had her mother drive from 4 hours away! (my family is an hour to an hour and a half by train) Everyone except my uncle and one friend bailed on me last minute. From that aspect, it really sucked. I guess that's life though.

sopulurn · April 29th, 2012, 08:07 AM

slept wayyy too long today, 14 hours or something - not good

StefTD · April 29th, 2012, 12:22 PM

friend of mine had birthday, made burgers and fries, shit was pretty hot and the fries had pretty "sharp" edges
so I cut and burned my throat at the same time in a really bad way, had to cough and there was some blood
and it just feels bad.

Morgan C · May 3rd, 2012, 03:14 AM

Diablo 3 servers won't go up til 5pm Sydney time.. and I have the whole morning off.

At least it'll force me to go to class (and leave halfway thru).

TonyS. · May 4th, 2012, 01:47 AM

jipchen · May 4th, 2012, 03:25 AM

For no apparent reason I feel like shit since waking up. My ears feel like I have a bad cold but I don't o_O
Good thing I've got a 10h recording session ahead of me for today (and the next days too)
