Wednesday Mourning Thread

marilyninthesky [Edit] [Delete] 177 replies 09:11, 4 January '12

I have an endless list of things to do today and no 2012 diary.

I am also going to see Girl With The Dragon Tattoo tonight with my Orange Wednesdays 2-1. Everyone's making a major hype about Karen 0 and Trent Rezner's new/old song, can't say I'm fussed.

Need to go to more gigs this year.

Everyone I know has the post-Christmas blues. I'm sure it wasn't this bad last year?

Have a good day y'all.

i am definitely going to go to more gigs this year

i'm also going to try and play more. in 2011 i only managed to motivate myself to play 2 gigs. the lowest numbers since i started playing music. must do better

cat--race | 4 Jan '12, 09:21 | X
- Can I have your gig playing represented in a negative gradient graph of some sort please chuck?
  
  wilykit @cat--race | 4 Jan '12, 09:25 | X
  - it's actually most likely some sort of bell shaped curve (heh)

I prefer this thread, maz.

The other one has too much about tinychat in it.

I have a cold.
I'm meant to be going for a run at lunch but need to buy new expensive trainers instead.
Applying for more jobs tonight.
Hungry.

meowington | 4 Jan '12, 09:25 | X
- have you had your feat measured / gait recorded and stuff for your trainers?
  
  i'm thinking of heading to the asics store this weekend to go through their foot mapping and gait analysis so i can get some proper trainers to correct the weird way I run.
  
  mac_daddy @meowington | 4 Jan '12, 09:39 | X
  - Thats exactly what I need to do.
    
    I was going to pop to Runners Needs in Holborn to see if they could measure it there? I run weird, definitely and the insides of my legs always hurt. I think I have a high arch. Or a low arch. Or no arch. I don't know.
    
    meowington @mac_daddy | 4 Jan '12, 09:43 | X
    - yeah i've knackered my ankles from using some crappy cheap trainers i got in sixth form
      
      pretty sure that i under-pronate i.e land my step on the outside of my heel then roll round the outside of the foot. not good
      
      mac_daddy @meowington | 4 Jan '12, 09:47 | X
      - My ankles are very weak as well
        
        I've sprained them a few times without realising.
        
        Its just so hard because my fitness is there but my ankles/legs aren't due to my shitty trainers. I can't wait to buy some new proper good ones so I can run loads and loads. I love running.

- Ij ust had low fat beans with low fat cheese with low fat toast.
  
  Tasted nice in a low fat way.
  
  A run at lunch is pure dedication. I need to start spinning again. Staight away I lost weight after about two classes. Hurts though.
  
  marilyninthesky @meowington | 4 Jan '12, 10:02 | X
  - Spinning is my favourite thing to do
    
    I absolutely love it! I need to go tomorrow lunch as there is a brilliant instructor who plays a load of Pat Benetar and shouts at you that you're amazing and sexy. She also has amazing bright pink hair.

        As far as I know she only does Thrusday lunch time which is a shame as she's really good and I would go to her two or three times a week.
        
        meowington @marilyninthesky | 4 Jan '12, 10:11 | X
        
        I hated spinning at first and the seats are so hard
        
        But then you get used to it. And it feels like you've accomplished something after an hour of pure calorie burning. Just need to find someone that shouts "You're beautiful, you're amazing". So far I've only had a male teacher.

Hallo

I slept really well, so feel pretty great today. However here are some facts

-someone at work has eaten my whole box of crunchy nut
- I am going to the gym for the first time in about a month at lunch
- I am doing something fun with a lady after work but not sure what. Suggestions?
- I ALSO need to go to more gigs this year, my crazy gig November was very good and I would like to repeat this most months.

Morning!

Today is ambitious! I'm starting running again for the first time in months after hurting my ankle. I'm gonna take it easy, but looking forward to getting out every day again. Also have quite a lot of typing to do later, hoping to get that all finished by five or six.

Has anybody used an APC40 before? I'm thinking about getting one for gigging this year.

useded | 4 Jan '12, 09:38 | X
- you could probably use an apc20 and save yourself some cash.
  
  takes up less space than the apc40 as well.
  
  if your not using ableton fully expect to spend an absolute fucking age mapping the cunt to whatever daw you're using.
  
  xheathenx @useded | 4 Jan '12, 10:08 | X
  - I'm hoping to make the switch to Ableton when I buy the APC
    
    20 vs 40... The 40 just seemed to make more sense to me to be honest.
    
    useded @xheathenx | 4 Jan '12, 11:20 | X
    - might be a good idea to look at some of the reviews comparing the two
      
      the 40 includes some device specific controls, but the 20 has note mode. you can do pretty much the same things on both, both come bundled with ableton live and both are plug and play out of the box due to being mapped for ableton.
      
      depends on how much weight you want to lug around when playing out (the 40 is pretty heavy), how much space you will have available (physically) and how much cash you've got to spend (the 20 is about 100 less than the 40).
      
      xheathenx @useded | 4 Jan '12, 12:42 | X
      - Space and weight isn't really an issue to be honest.
        
        I'll look into some reviews though. I think the price difference over here isn't that much considering the shop I'd be buying it from will be doing me a deal on the 40 as it is.
        
        That's unless you'd suggest any other sort of gear instead? Basically I want tp be able to play my stuff proper live instead of just DJing. Kinda like Four Tet/Gold Panda etc. I was looking at the NI Maschine but it's pretty expensive.
        
        useded @xheathenx | 4 Jan '12, 13:42 | X
        
        best thing to do is look for the live setups used by four tet/flying lotus/gold panda
        
        and the like use, see which bits are applicable to the music you want to make and how you'll make it, then see what you can get for your money.
        
        laptop, midi controller, sampler is usually the standard. which ones you use will be down to your own preference/budget. And anything beyond that will depend on the complexity of your own music, what you want to do with it in a live situation.

  Watched Mongol last night. Too much soppy romance for my tastes - some nicely done shots though. Decided last night that I'm going to move to London after next new year. Also is Richmond park in Richmond? (I probably sound like a div asking this...)
  
  Songs_about_ducking | 4 Jan '12, 09:45 | X
  - Richmond Park is MASSIVE
    
    I used to go jogging from Roehampton (when at Uni) to Richmond Park everyday. On the other side is Richmond. The only thing that spoils Richmond Park is the road that runs straight through it. But then again this is London.
    
    Zac ahem Goldsmith stopped the park from charging to park there. Ahem. Oh Zac.

  Dragon Tattoo was really good I thought. Liked it much more than the Swedish version. Craig is much better than that beef faced Nyqvist and Lisbeth is a babe. It looks more like a film too, as opposed to the TV Movie-ish aesthetic of the first version.

        I think anything over 2,000 years is fair game to put in a box so kids can look at it. I can definitely see it being a faux pas in the future and bodies rarely exhibited. Also, native americans are MENTAL about bodies, so can see some countries following suit which is fair enough. Embrace the shards of ineligible ceramic icwar, its better than smack.

        Anyway yes, I think human remains are fine if they're a), old or b), donated (by the deceased). I imagine the latter must have been the case with the exhibition I'm thinking of, if I didn't in fact dream it.

      I might go and tell her that in the olden days she'd be dead twice over and give her some congratulations and that. Well done Jules, YOU MADE IT!

        if you didn't like the manky cardboard kennel for /your/ cat
        
        maybe /you/ should have made one yourself rather than just be really nippy to your mum on /her/ birthday.

        Have you bothered to
        
        a) wish here a happy birthday yet
        b) bought and presented her with a birthday gift
        
        if the answer to either of the above is no
        then she is maybe dropping increasingly unsubtle hints
        
        if the answer to /both/ is yes then she's probably just started getting smashed, which is nice. and once you've finished your essay (probably the source of the nippiness) you should take her out and get absolutely wrecked stupid with her.

  - Main plan for today is to ring the tax office.
    
    Need to find out what the hell I'm supposed to do when my bastardcunt previous employer won't send me my P45. I'd never use the "c" word without an asterisk usually, so I'm on the cusp of some serious fury here.
    
    Got a facebook message from a friend just now, saying that he doesn't think we can be friends anymore because his girlfriend is terrified of the idea of another carrier of breasts being within a 50 mile radius of him. The worst thing is I don't even feel that upset about it. I usually care far more about my friendships.

      this'd this
    - depends what you need the p45 for
      
      if its the dole, they'll give you a form to fill in and request the rest of the info from either your employer or the tax office
      
      if it's an agency then they'll give you a form to fill in
      
      if it's for another employer, then they should be able to give you a form to fill in.
      
      from personal experience p45's aren't always needed, or there are workarounds if you don't have access to one.
      
      xheathenx @tokek_tokek | 4 Jan '12, 11:14 | X
      - I need to reclaim tax though.
        
        The tax office have already written to my previous employer asking fro tax details, but apparently I still need to provide them with my P45. Why the details they'll be sent won't suffice, I'll never know.
        
        tokek_tokek @xheathenx | 4 Jan '12, 11:17 | X
        
        won't your last pay slip have the info that they'll need confirmed.
        
        ie rate code, total taxable earnings, ni contributions, etc. p60's for the years in question would probably provide them with everything else they'd need outwith the last tax year.
        
        ask them if they'll accept this and explain that your employer has been "quite rubbish" in replying to your requests for a p45.

        What one? Sod that though. I'd love to be able to do it one day but I won't be ready then. I'm gonna do this 10k and then a half marathon then a marathon....maybe.

        Are you being serious?
        
        A marathon is 26 miles 385 yards. Always.

        I didn't mean marathon for me, I meant like the newham 10k run in April.

  - I woke up about half an hour ago
    
    Was out sort of late last night with some friends, although because there were an odd number of us I kept getting 2 for 1 deals to myself. This I didn't mind.
    
    Today I'm going to play Madden, watch some films and eat Pringles as a way of making the most of my last week off.

    Just got a new job working odd hours so I'm trying to get in to some sort of pattern but it's not working!

    - Good practice for if you ever have kids at least.
      
      To make it even more realistic:
      Go and take all the sheets of your bed, put them in the wash, remake your bed. Repeat until you run out of sheets, then go off to buy manchester first thing tomorrow.
