THE ANGRY RANT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[louise]

And Louise, you're gutted about turning 25 soon? If I was turning 25 I'd be dancing in the street. If it helps, being 25 rocks.

i sincerely hope it does. goodbye youth :'(

also, virgin media make me want to smack a bitch. what am i paying for.

[Negamuse]

Hey don't sweat 25. The way I looked at it, 24-27 is all still mid-20s. Yeah, you're in for a crisis when you get to 28 and can't call yourself "mid-20s" any more, but that way you get all the bad vibes out of the way by the time you hit 30 and can celebrate that milestone properly.

Ranting? Oh, yeah...

I've spent the last couple of weeks travelling to nearby towns to check out independent record shops and it's fucking depressing to see the state of it now compared to back when I were a lad, going to Selectadisc in Nottingham every weekend. I know we live in the digital age now, and I've got more great stuff just of Twoismers' Soundclouds the last week than since I can remember. But I really miss the experience of digging through racks and finding an EP by someone you missed first time around, or just some album by someone you've never heard of, you take it to the front and get them to put it on headphones for you.

So much good music I found through those places... and now it's HMV or vintage LP collector places selling stuff like Simon and Garfunkel and jazz / big band stuff. HMV are pretty much the target of my irrational hate, for squeezing out the competition and then deciding they wanted to sell playstation games and DVDs instead. If it's not top 40 in there, it's not there. Oh there's a dance rack, but that's 4 foot of rackspace of mainly Ministry of Sound CDs. What in the fuck happened?

[fujee]

[louise]

angry at myself. 2200 word essay to do tonight. spent all week being idle and this is my reward :'(

[TaoTapeTao]

yeahhh I'm sorta in the same boat.. waited till now to do a ten page paper due for tuesday. This is going to be fun..

[Amo Bishop Roden]

Me too. Creative paper, Quant Chem lab, and two online Quant assignments due tonight. Oh, procrastination.

[louise]

and yet here we are. you both have my sympathies. 1600 words to go....

[A_Northern_Soul]

I remember those days....

*sudden hankering for Marlboro Light*

[Mexicola]

Yup. Recall the constant rotation of 'Down on the Upside' by Soundgarden, 'Unplugged' by Alice in Chains and 'In The Long Still Night' by Gallon Drunk, together with a lake of tea and regular intake of Snappy Tomato Pizza.

That and the 4am finishes and printer jams.

[fujee]

Almost finished with my dissertation, tantilisingly close to the finish line, but finding this last chapter incredibly difficult to finish.

I've also come to the now unavoidable realisation that Jean Paul-Sartre in old age is the spitting image of Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. 8200 words and hours of research and thats the most earth shattering insight I have gained from this endeavour.....

[A_Northern_Soul]

^ I don't any more, but the taste, sensation and hankering takes me back to a very specific time & place.

[Mexicola]
