Pash, why the funk-a-duck over the resonator?

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

thanks gooblar!

Argh, Emsk, that is complicated. (Iraq? Argh!)

i know! he is a good person too, it's bizarre.

also more complication - no alcohol before run, i think it would be a bad idea. hmm.

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

Running?!?!? What is this nonsense about running. You must DRINK!!! With US!!! We are YOUR FRIENDS and we want your company for SEVENTH MOST DANGEROUS DRUG EVER consumption with us. In a PUB.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

5th

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

What is the seventh most dangerous drug? Speed? we can take that, too. KINGS OF SPEED, KINGS OF SPEED!!! ::jumps up and down in chair::

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

i have been running and LOVIN' IT! haha ok not very far or fast (i am up to RUN 2 MINS WALK 1 MIN which has been surprisingly easy and we accidentally did a 4 min run which was easy too (i think it was the weather, it was cold and still and dry)) but still. i'm quite surprised. yay for the teenager.

hrm, maybe i could run tomorrow and monday instead of today and sunday. what time do you think we will be back from the walk on sunday? it may not be practical to do it sunday anyway if we're back too late.

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, no, speed is 8th, 7th is Valium. Snorrrrre. Never liked that. Preferred diet pills. What has got into me today? I feel 18 again, want to drink loads of coffee and pop diet pills and drive all the way to Vermont, vrrrooooooom!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

I imagine we will be back quite late on sunday.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

Eep, I'm going to start next week with a sleep debt, aren't I? And I've got so much planned...

If we play with FoH, can you get projectors, Ed, and we can turn it into a crazy multimedia psychedelic event with films and lights and things. And we can do Hawkwind covers!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

I can borrow, yes.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

Ed, the resonator (one of which I own) is a fixed filter. It's a great piece. The Funk-a-Duck, though, has an envelope follower built into it - it tracks the volume of the signal it receives, and changes the cutoff of the filter according to the level, a great effect.

― Pashmina, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

I should try plugging through Doom's MS20 to see if I like the sound. But I like the idea of envelope following.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

Order today 032/32/007 and you could score a free
Frostwave SpaceBeam Theremin / CV controller
worth Aud $387.00...

I wish I hadn't seen this/

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

That should have been in quote style but the damned input parser is a nazi.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

Uuuhhh... Theremin? What?

I just got paid today. Maybe I can afford that 12-string bass after all. I just wish I could have a go on it before deciding to spend £400 plus shipping on it. I mean, I know what an 8 string bass sounds like from TSM, but no idea if 12-string = lovely heavenly angel choirs of gorgeousness or muddy prog hell.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

Did Rob S contact u Kate?

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

Nope, Dr. C.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

I am suffering from ILX burnout, I think. Go on another thread, start typing out this quite long, quite detailed analysis of something and then halfway through just think "crap, is anyone going to be bothered to read this, or are they just going to come back with some kneejerk reactions - besides, we've already done this a hundred times if we've done it once..." and then just hit clear.

I am feeling sleepy. I already want more coffee. Beer drinking mannequin has aquired a bike helmet - WTF?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

I think I am going to become addicted to yoghurt coated ginger.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

Ohmigod, anything covered ginger is food of the gods - I was eating the yoghurt covered ginger last on the Isle of Wight, it is teh yum.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

Alara on marchmont st is becoming my favourite lunch spot.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

I had aubergine and mushroom biriyani - not as good as homemade, but Emsk still has my curry making pot.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

I should get a better curry making pot, with a copper bottom or something, so that it does not burn like those enamel pots do. They are so pretty, though, with the peatocks and the paisley.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

Enamel is fine, you just need a heavier bottom. The dread IKEA has very good le cruset and cast iron knock off type things.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

If you get heavy enamelled pots you can use humbrol paints to paint your own designs on.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

Is Alara Indian? I don't remember that place.

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

It's the whole food store on marchmont st.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Sigh. I used to have the best currying pot in the world, but it got lost in one of my many moves. Enammel on the inside is good, as it's much better for you than the dread no stick. But I swear, those pretty peatock pots must have tinfoil between the layers of enamel, they are so thin.

Awww, I see what you mean about the hottt young Tory photo, now. Phwoar, etc.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

Soooooo almost done with my day. One more tutorial (2 papers to mark for it, tho), then home for naptime!

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and yeah, I've always been curious about that place (alara).

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, *that* place! yes, I used to like it, too, when I lived there but now it is in the EEZOHAD.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, cannot stop looking at the hotttt young Tories. So wrong, I know. But so RIGHT.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

You just want to look at me taking my shirt off on that thread Kate. I know full well.

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

I did look at you taking your shirt off, and I did respond with a "phwoar etc." over there!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

Only joking! I know I'm old and hideous.

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

You do have a good nose, though, if I may say so without seeming too forward.

Pielettes, pielettes, Shimuras be wanting PIERETTES!!! Arrrrrr...

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

It wasn't always that shape.

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

That's what you get for playing Rugby!

Maybe I should fancy more rugby players if they've all got noses like that. But they tend to be too, well... BEEFY for my tastes.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

...hrmmm, maybe I should go shopping for guitars tomorrow to see if I can get that 12-string bass out of my mind.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

yes, guitar shopping. (Also I want to get you off the bass idea, I want that as my fantasy)

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

I need to get a chorus pedal and a digital delay/sampler, but I can get those locally.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

kate, if my bikelock will go through the handles on your pot i can bring it on sunday. (i mean i can bring it anyway but if we can't lock it up with my bike we'll have to trapise around with it all day.) d'you want me to?

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Arrr, I don't want to tramp around with it all day. (Though maybe if we get lost in the woods we can build a fire and make our own curry.) Though you can check if it fits before then!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa, I have been complaining about having to do all this Worksmart crap, but I've just found out I've got access to everyone's birthdates! It's kind of an eye-opener finding out how much older I am than everyone in my department. Even my *boss* is younger than me! Sheesh!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of ages, at the daft battle of the bands for people who work on lads mags thing me and Emsk went to last night, everyone was in their early twenties and was so decidedly uncool. And they all looked the same. I mean, I have highlights, but they all looked like, I dunno, junior girls own Appleton sisters or something. Scary. I'm in a v.good mood now 'cos I took my favourite, bashed up fmbs to the cobblers and they said they could fix them. Hurrah!

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah for fixing shoes, but what is FMBS?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

Erm, fuck me boots. It's not a phrase I coined, nor do I intend to be doing anything sordid in 'em. They are just lovely, sensibly heeled black knee high boots.

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and and you kind of feel, y'know, Nancy Sinatra type strutting empowerment in them

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, yes, I know what Fuck Me Boots (fuck me pumps, etc.) are - I just didn't recognise the acronym. Also known as "boots of sex".

Maybe I need me some of those. Hrmmm. Wait, I bought some but never wear them.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)
