    I don't know if this means I've got good or bad headphones, but since I've gotten some new earbuds, I've been able to hear "ts-" or "s-o", basically the hissing S sound, from higher pitched singers as a high pitched noise. Words and all are pronounced perfectly, just that you can hear the "tsk" as they sing into the mic. Sort of off-putting.

    The songs aren't crappy quality neither, so that shouldn't be the problem.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I have some Ultimate Ears earbuds that do that too and you're right, it's distracting and takes away from the music. Luckily my set came with a volume level adapter that helps even out the volume and masks these weird sounds while preserving the audio quality.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Can't find a black curly wig for my Halloween costume that isn't 30 dollars. I'm only going to use the damn thing once. Why is this so hard ?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Buy a bag of black pipecleaners, twist them into spirals around a cylindrical object, and attach them to a hood. At least, that's how I'd do this on a low budget in theory. Not sure how practical it would turn out to be in reality.

    Tell us what your costume will be and we'll let you know if it's worth $30 for the wig.

    Also keep in mind you could reuse the wig for some cosplay at anime conventions. Some notable anime characters with black curly hair: Hercule from DBZ, Claudia Grant from Robotech.

    I don't really go to conventions. I'd honestly never use it again. There's a costume place I went to last night that was out of black ones, but maybe they might have brown ones. If not, I'll just pay 25 dollars. This is the first time I've planned on dressing up since I was about 9 .

    Edit to below: He was only known as Hercule on Cartoon Network. All the dubbed DVDs still call him Satan. Also I think of him as "Hercule" in my head.

    Why does getting sick on a Friday have to be such a guilt trip? Even Monday (also a three day weekend) doesn't get the same negative connotations that Friday does.

    Maybe I just have really shitty luck with illnesses and appointments.

    EDIT:

    Wait, I know the answer. Because some people abuse it, it fucks it all up for the rest of us.

    welcome to the club

    I could make an essay also...but meh...Im lazy.Worked sucked today for me as well. A lot.

    Ok... I'll write it anyway...

    2 months ago I sent some test cases to Marketing and Billing...

    Today I see they forgot to add them to the project and I told them that I was not accepting their test cases, nor would give our acceptance to install it.

    Now they are whining about that they need to release it fast.

    Fuck em.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    I hate daylight savings time changes. I'm now back to 9 hours ahead of CST, when I was so used to being only 8 hours ahead. That's one more hour before everyone wakes up back home and on the forums, and one more hour I have to wait before the stock market opens. Why can't they just abolish the practice already? It served its purpose.

    I heard some dumb stat on the radio today concerning daylight savings time changes. Supposedly because of the 1 hour change, some percentage of people die more often around the solstices or some dumb shit like that. Sheesh, way to use statistics to improve our lives, scientists.

    What about the statistics that say how many people would die if there was no daylight savings time? Getting up in the morning was becoming so much harder before the time fell back an hour. I'd be half asleep on my drive to work.

    My bedroom clock didn't reset automatically. My phone and computer say it's 6:32 and my clock says it's 7:30.

    Now it's both slow and fast at the same time. What the hell??

    So my mom owns a 4 family house that she rents out. And there's this one tenant that's a huge problem. Frequently late with rent, calls us to tell us she has rent then doesn't have it, does drugs, gets into fights with people, noisy, the list just goes on and on. So now she's 3 months late on rent and we're trying to evict her through a lawyer. But she refuses.

    Now the crazy bitch, who frequently gets into fights and arguments calls us one day to tell us that she's planning to sue us for $50,000 because she hurt her foot or some shit on a stray brick in our hallway (wtf?) and was in the hospital for 2 days. Or we can pay her $20,000 and she'll forget the law suit. Even if she was hurt, chances are it's from one of her scuffles and she's just using that shit to extort money out of us. Fuck that shit. Fucking dumbass bitch.

    That completely sucks Animus...

    You guys should gather proof that she is always getting into fights, its a drug addict and doesn't pay so if she tries anything she gets finally kicked and pays or goes to jail...

    I hate that people...

    You should record your conversations with this idiot woman so you can prove she's extorting you. Even if it's not legal to do so, it can scare her away.

    Seems like there's a lot to bitch about lately. Vuze decided to mess up their perfectly good torrent client with an update that looks terrible and isn't as intuitive or usable as the previous. And of course, utorrent.com is blocked on my network so I'll have to find the installer elsewhere.
