I'd gotten so used to having open boxes and shit scattered around that I had to check myself when I went out into the empty living room.  I almost thought for a moment that I'd been robbed.

EDIT 2: $5 on Amazon?  That's in my impulse-buy range, but it's hard to tell how long that cable is from the photo.

3'; works great right out of the box.  Or envelope and series of plastic bags, but...$5 and it works great.  (Pity it showed up the day the NPR fund drive ended.)

The FLAC project continues apace; won't be done by the time I head to Tucson on Friday but it's getting there.

KDE has, built-in, the most fucking beautiful CD-ripping interface I have ever seen.  You point your filebrowser to audiocd:/ and it has subdirectories for MP3, Ogg, FLAC, and so on; you can drag-and-drop tracks in the appropriate format from its respective folder.  Encoding and metadata are taken care of automatically.

Trouble is that it doesn't actually seem to WORK very well; it very frequently hangs on ripping tracks at the end of an album.  Now, this could be because I am ripping from burned CD's that have been sitting in my car for 5 Phoenix summers, but even considering that it seems like an incredibly high failure rate.

(Also I just accidentally copied a file over as WAV and it went just fine and now I'm trying to copy it as a FLAC and it won't go, so yeah, definitely not the CD that's the problem.)

Another impromptu "jam session" on skype.
Basically we get together and I sing a silly song and another guy sings about heartbreaks and then one guy plays a guitar song he wrote. Everyone else just listens. Maybe the guy with the keyboard plays a song that ends with a fart sound if the other two guys are too depressing.

But I have fun and try to make it up as I go along. Unfortunately it seems the only things I pull out of the top of my head have to do with Bigfoot, Dinosaurs, and Candy. I get no warning. Just Skype call going off and someone starts singing/playing.


Of course, I'm proud of my silly songs but also know I'm pretty terrible at everything. Every now and then if I have the time/inkling, I bust out my guitar and try to strum along to my song. The whole thing ends up being silly and fun and simple.


That's a Good Times if ever I heard one.




EDIT: There was a surprise second session. And to make sure all the songs were improptu, everyone switched. They sang silly songs and I sang a serious sad song. Feels good to change, but silly songs leave me with a smile. Still damn good times.

So that was my last class of culinary school, just now. I'm done. I earned an Associates degree. I accomplished something. All that's left is the diploma and tens of thousands of dollars of student debt nvm this is the Good Times thread.

Just got my first power bill. From June 6th to August 30th (so about three months), they're charging me 150 dollars, which includes 50 for the account opening fee. (I suppose that might sound low to some of you Americans; keep in mind that Hydro-Québec, the main power company here, is 100% owned and operated by the government, and it's mostly hydro power with a bit of nuclear and wind so we're not as affected by fossil fuel prices.) The good news is, I had originally budgeted 100 bucks for one month. I'm literally paying one third what I thought I would when I was figuring out if I could afford to live alone, and this gives me a bit of breathing room where I thought I had exactly none.

...holy crap I think I'll be able to afford to renew my driver's license next year. :glee:

It's gonna be more expensive this winter because I got electric heat as well, but fortunately I tend to need very little of it in general, and I'm on a second floor so I'll benefit from my downstairs neighbor's heat some.

My heating strategy is basically to keep my computer upgraded and the door closed. You might try it.

Might I specifically suggest the GTX 4XX and GTX 5XX series. Those are serious heaters. 60C idle. 80C under load.

Climbed some mountains. Didn't die. Ate my first yak burger. Drank plenty of exclusive microbrews I'll probably never have again.

My name isn't Susan either.
