Searching for a job and do things slowly Without weed is a pain in the ass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i heard the price of weed is through the roof at the moment, what sort of job are you looking for? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Usual pile of shit jobs i apply for, not much of a choice at 40 years old I dream to work in a supermarket.. Pushers are all scumbags where i live, another reason not to buy other than lack of money Wish i was in brixton |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't done acid in years, but kind of want some now. do you reckon the price would go up or down over this? on the one hand, bored at home. on the other, people need cash and some of it might come out of deep freeze not that i even know where to ask anymore.... |

come back and marry a british woman |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
probably dark web, but i guess 10% or more are probably FBI agents |
||||||||
|
|

honestly, my lockdown experience thus far has been boring and responsible ~ - i'm not taking the train, i'm not in the office, it's time to quit cigarettes - since my commute isn't three hours let's go ahead and --renew my car registration --pay my excise tax --research how to renew my passport i figure, eventually, i'll run out of stuff to do, that i should have already done, and from there i'll probably try to get my modular going again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah not really searching or anything, just voicing an idea that's been on my mind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gonna translate my resume in english and start searching indeed uk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive always promised myself to do a little project that has a bit of programming/music and hardware, ive probably got time now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah English women love Italians i reckon, plus tesco would probably hire you straight away |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty much what i'd be doing anyway... sleeping at odd hours, listening to audiobooks n podcasts n such ( is great so far), reading, painting, playing chess, listening to musix (radiooooo.com as per umbro's link atm). trying not to stress about the plague but it's barely impacted my routìne at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks like a weighty tome of a book, any insights yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, yes, that's a good one. i've never been able to manage naps before, but i've started to successfully nap a bit, and it's really strange. i have NPR on and then suddenly it's quiet and i think "where's NPR" and then it comes back and i realize i'd briefly been asleep. also noticing any lights on start to drift off like the sound. never actually caught myself in the act of falling asleep before. intend to keep researching this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just having a look at that site now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have the sofa bed out by the tv gf is in big double bed cos im snoring lots at the moment, i go to bed about half 2 and wake up about 9 then fall asleep again 11 to 1 in the afternnon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I watched the birds in the hedge this afternoon, that was nice, i wish i had some Acid yes, so i was unaware of the passage of time for a bit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm only a couple of chapters in but it's not too scientific / academic / jargon-y. mostly outlining his personal experiences with mushrooms and acid so far, and how his interest in psychedelics was rekindled in later life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah id say it was the most profound moment of my adult life thats for sure, as you get that mindset of being a child, when everything has that new feeling again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it makes you realise how ossified your brain becomes as you ages, its so gradual you dont realise it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think humour is all ive got left, i used to have very elaborate brain images, you know when he gets his brain scanned in the flight of the navigator, i saw images that fast, great mathematical fractal shapes and all sorts, i dont think i can generate that now, if its age or what i dont know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're just out of practice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i always wondered about is how the hell is my own brain doing that, does it have some built in mathematical formulas to do that sort of stuff, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, there is some built-in math underlying it all, but you can also make custom |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my fave toy as a child was a kaleidoscope, i was always looking through one so probably had a good effect on my brain early on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recently, they've discovered . the idea being, how does a critter know where it is? how does it map its environment? the answer is: hexagons. it makes sense. you are in a hexagon, and then you tile hexagons all around and this is how the brain stores location, plans moves on the rpg board, etc. you know how, when you put a mic up to a speaker, it goes wheeeee? feedback? i asked my dad about that, when i was little, and he said: "it tries to amplify the same sound over and over and over until what you're hearing is not a real sound, but the sound of the amplifier itself" put all that in the blender, boom, milkdrop, etc my brain tends to favor a strobing, rotating cube as i'm listening to leftfield's "phat planet" earlier today |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, yes, philosophers have argued for thousands of years about it, but we've proven geometry is inherent to the way the brain works and other related things and no one's particularly noticed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or, well, it wasn't a cube. and there was a lot more going on with, like, sort of sweeping beams of light. particularly towards the end |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
read that as "when you put mice up to a speaker" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when you put mice up to a speaker, they squeak up into the tweeter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers, i havent heard of them, thats genuinely fascinating |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
otherwise all systems normal getting my parents to work the fucking telepresence shit has been interesting, then shouting at them to staying the fucking house and working out their deliveries ... thats been fun. Dunno if it's exactly necessary but yeh... |

I waved at my mum through her window the other day, i suppose thats very old fashioned but it was quite funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went to tescos, i hate tescos but its convienet, i felt like i was in a philip k dick novel for sure, i only went into buy weetabix i felt like i was buying some uranium or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fortunately or unfortunately my mum is housebound, she cant leave the house without a wheelchair, this lock down is having a detrimental effect on her mental health as her main preoccupation in life is riding around on the bus and talking to random people about trivial matters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get her an IRC client |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there a channel for senile old duffers? (only kidding) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think people on here would probably like her, shes quite funny in a neurotic way |
||||||||

i applied to tesco and iceland and briefly spoke with a young chick with a baby desperately loooking for a park, that helped with my afternoon depression |

At the moment I'm finishing off The Shaolin Grandmasters' Text, I picked up a hardback copy from a local second-hand book shop for about a fiver |
||||||||
|
|

|
