You can use saxophones in any music ever.

I have heard it with my own ears. From grindcore to trashy electronica to goth shit, saxophones work with everything.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit.

I read about that last night. A quadrouple amputee? Seriously? What's he going to do? Spit at you? Fucking disgusting. There's no call for that kind of shit.

On a completely different note because I can't address that FUCKING GARBAGE while keeping my phone intact and my ass out of jail...

I was reminded today of the magic of Aldi: a place where you can spend 50 dollars, fully half of that on weird shit that doesn't contribute to basic survival, and still have a week's worth of good food.

I spent 6 dollars on really weird cheese, got some generic energy drink for a buck, bought a goddamn pillow to go with the goddamn blanket (8 dollars), spent 2 dollars on a chocolate bar, 2 on some pop tart knockoffs, 7 on a flatbread pizza that I didn't need, and the remaining food is still a weeks worth.

Also: Cain, I found the red pesto! I'm gonna eat it!

RIP library. So, I put my books in storage and since my new place doesn't have the shelf space, I left them there.

And then, the factory next to the warehouse burned down. And burned down the warehouse along with it. And my library.

I'm currently in the process of claiming my insurance based on my initial booking forms. But still, bleh.

From someone who has lost 2 physical libraries and 3 digital ones, I feel your pain. Condolences.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

At least my digital one is backed up in multiple places. Given its size, I couldn't bear to lose that.

Were you actually going to read the books or did you just keep them safe for the future generations who'd be too hyperactive to even watch a movie?

OOF,  that's a DAMN SHAME -- If my books failed a saving throw, I'd be devastated. Good luck recouping losses.

Some of them were actually useful. It was mostly my physical academic texts, so things like "Political Terrorism" or...well, lots of books with variations on terrorism in the title.

Thanks. The company so far seems pretty good about keeping in touch and letting people know what's going on - perhaps because it wasn't their fault, and having all our claims will bolster their own insurance claims against the factory. It helps that they're not being adversarial about it, so far.

I don't know how I missed this.

Have you fought the responsible party yet? Have you looked them in the eye and called them a jackass? Have you set THEIR library on fire?

In other news: guess who MIGHT not be homeless anymore!

I'm probably jumping the gun but we bought drinks and a small order of fries for a five minute conversation (we all had work tomorrow and had been up WAY too late the night before) that ended up being an hour and a half of geeking out over bugs, podcasts, and The Thing.
