Guess I shoulda sent that last tweet (what are these things called?) to !ohiobronies too. I'm planning to be at the meetup at Edgewater Park Saturday, with a friend of mine! There will be guitar!

Somebody left a sack of hazelnuts at work - but no nutcracker. Neither scissors nor the paper cutter worked, and smashing them with the tape dispenser makes a serious mess. Finally, I found wrapping them in tape, then smashing them works just fine. And all of this was done on the clock. None of this is my job.

If my professional website weren't so rubbish I might redesign it, but as it is now, it's embarrassingly bad, and if I were to redo it, it'd just be a long winded 'f-you' to Dayton, Ohio for having such a bananasty entitled music market full of cockstain artists who think I'm a piece of grapes for doing my job, going to venues, shaking hands, and telling them who I am and what I do. I don't get to say that papayas a lot, 'cause I am a businessman, I can't say things like that in a public venue where people know who I am. Ya all don't know who I am, so I can say 'Screw the cherriesty entitled kiwi musicians and their cherriesty bands in Dayton Ohio. After listening to your records it's clear you don't know the first thing about engineering and you probably wonder why no one wants to listen to your records'. I really want to start mangoes with bands who look at me like I'm a leper for trying to assimilate into the community.

@engelhardt @engelhardt Dude! You will! With your talent and crazy enthusiasm you'll succeed without a doubt. BTW, I bookmarked your name on the off-chance I still use the same laptop seven years in the future.
-
@celestiaforequestria Haha, crazy enthusiasm? I guess that's a good thing. I can go off about it really well and a lot, 'cause I have a lot of passion for what I do. I give myself seven years 'cause orchestration school is two years, then I'll give myself three years to get some clout, and then I'll start pushin' for the big gigs. I give myself seven years to get my first gig recording an orchestra, it's a very fair timeframe.
-
@engelhardt Well, best of luck! It's always awesome to see people who are where they are because they set out to do it out of pure passion.

@mrbrown Yeah, even the single player in Halo 2 is awesome. I might snag it on PC, see if anyone still plays it online, either via dedicated servers, P2P, or Hamachi servers.

@mrbrown Mleh. Just sold my 360. The Halo games and Soul Calibur IV are the only games I'll miss. Started replaying Halo 2 recently, and was like 'Oh yeah, that's right, this game is really freakin' awesome!'

So who saw my latest ponytastic photograph? http://fav.me/d471cq9

@gear Oh, huh. I guess Kodak does make some 120 film. I know dick all about shooting colour, it's not my thing. If someone still made 25 iso colour film, I'd be interested in it for long night exposures, but if I'm gettin' grainy, I really want black and white. Black and white works for what I shoot, too. My pictures wouldn't be the same if they were in colour, heck, I don't think they'd even look good if they were in colour.
-
@engelhardt Oh yeah, color grain isn't my thing either. This might be the purist in me speaking, but sometimes shooting with black and white is kind of relieving because you focus on the core elements of photography.
-
@gear Yep. Black and white is about light and contrast, and photography is about the capture of light. Even the word photography translates to 'drawing with light'.

When I start talking about something in which I'm well versed, and people tune me out, I don't think they're doing it because they're disinterested, or to be a dick, but they're doing it to save themselves. I will drop a glut of information in 90 seconds that I assume the populace takes for granted, but they don't, at all. And people just tune me out, 'cause if they don't, and they remember what I'm telling them, it's just going to push out the kiwi they need to know. It's going to fill up their brain and push out their knowledge about driving, or skiing, or whatever it is people do.

To annoy any graphic designers you may come in contact with: Comic Sans is fun and quirky and Helvetica is dull and overused.

@celestiaforequestria Papyrus is good choice if you want something with a bit of flair.

@engelhardt Good advice, good advice.

So I was trying to come up with a name for the bar in my fic, I settled on Oatsuba. Anyone who gets the reference gets a HIGH FIVE from the next person who high fives you.

@fnordly I haven't got any ponies D:
-
@afal You have us. This pink plastic pony pictured port-side to this post is actually a one of a kind collectors' item.
-
@engelhardt Hrm. I didn't know that. Anyway, girls like guys that play with ponies and Canadians, but they are usually forced into exploitation for status.

Ahh, nothing like that satisfying clean feeling that only comes with a brand-new toothbrush. :D And remember, floss daily! <3

@scribus If I brush my teeth without flossing I feel dirty, like I cheated on my mouth.
