Yes a long time ago. Recently, no. AND thank you for that.enoelieSeptember 21 2004, 12:49:48 UTC
I did modeling in my teens and have sat in for photographers who just want to photograph a "fun" person for their portfolio.... but as far as "real modeling for pay" in any recent time? Nada. Just has not been something I actively pursued. I get distracted by a lot of other geeky things. ;-)
I encountered drinkable yogurt for the first time in England. We all thought it was milk at first, as the container screamed "I AM MILK" in every way, including the ubiquitos milk-splash picture. When I think yogurt, I don't think splash.
Anyway, I'd rather have a real smoothie than a creepy bottled yogurt one any day. Rar.
Soundtrack: ahhhhh! You're giving me a mixing assignment! Must... dooo... eeeeet.
Also: saw an action figure of Ren in the store the other day, with his eyes bugging out of his head, aooogah-style. Thought of you. :)
I love the fact you think of me when you see Ren, but some would argue I am more of a Stimpy ;-)enoelieSeptember 21 2004, 12:54:26 UTC
Creepy ass drinkable yogurt. I just had my first. NEVER AGAIN will I do that to myself. It's about 10 times worse than regular yogurt... like yogurt you left out on the counter and decided to liquify and taunt you.
I cannot wait to see what you come up with for your soundtrack.
I think this is especially neat since I'll get to associate certain sounds with certain people. This whole concept totally appeals to me. Much more than the drinkable yogurt. Though if someone wants to send me some with their mix CD, I cannot guarantee that I won't send it back... or something equally as disgusting.
I have the farting Ren doll. Stimpy too. Now that's sick. Somehow it is a weird picture to have me hanging out with toys like this. I love my huge Stimpy the best. He lives on my sofa downstairs.
More of a Stimpy - yesstyletaxSeptember 21 2004, 13:26:45 UTC
I think of you more as a Stimpy, too - do you have a nose goblin collection? :D
I'd totally be about a mix exchange as well, and I hope you have time - I am in dire need of some aural variety. The OediPod has room on it, for sure, and you always seem to be listening to such cool stuff. :)
Drinkable yogurt can suck it. Though, there is that "custard style" yogurt (spoon yogurt = ok) and that stuff is pretty swazz. :)
Nose goblins!enoelieSeptember 21 2004, 13:42:45 UTC
There are some things only a significant other should know, love and accept. Right?
Oh yeah, you're going to get a copy of my soundtrack when I am done with it. I think you'd get a kick out of what buzzes with my brain cells.
The custard yogurt in vanilla "flavour" is actually not vile. But for the sugars you get in that you might as well be eating pudding. Why have yogurt when you can have pudding???
I listen to far too much music to be able to limit it to a list of specific songs. Everything depends on mood. Right now I'm grooving to the likes of Riverside, Blackfield/Porcupine Tree, Dead Soul Tribe, all melodic semi-progressive rock. Prog without the wank
( ... )
Make the freaking CD already. I am giving grades on effort too. You wouldn't tell your teacher who assigned your CD essay to listen to your radio show, now would you?
I'll know whether I can still look at you the same way afterward... depends on how good the tracks are. :: chuckles ::
How do I condense 50 GB of eclectic MP3s into a nicely indicatives subset of a mere 700MB? Yikes!
Part of the problem with some of the bands I like is that one song can't hope to encapsulate their sound. Power metal bands like Kamelot, sure, they tend to have pretty predictable song structures as it is. But genre-bending (that's genre, not gender) artists like Pain of Salvation who run the gammut from whacked out metal to gentle passion? That's a little more difficult.
One of these days I may just have to try to do this and send copies to different people. I just don't seem to have the time yet. MEH! That's why I recommend the radio show. At least that I'm able to do once in a while. Besides, I have to pimp it somehow! :P
This is not about promoting the band and presenting them to me as a whole. This about YOU bringing meaning to the tracks because I have no idea what half the stuff you listen to happens to be.
I really don't care what genre the music is. This message is for everyone who has a question about that. This is more about how you relate to it and how you apply to that track in some way.
If I wanted music samplers I would hang around the bookstore and wait (ok ok, tear out all the free CDs) that come with music mag "purchases"... uhhh... or I would hang out at Urban Outfitters and buy something completely inane, underground cool but completely useless so I could try to get those CD freebies with the indie types I tend to like... but who knows when/if they'd do that again, so they'd just have to call security on my designer jeans ass for loitering.
So, in short, nope... the radio show is NOT going to tell me how it's a soundtrack for your life. :-P So there.

Oooooh. Another CD essay I *have* to listen to with cheek-hurting smiles. Doesn't have to be an immediate pay off. Even professors give some time for the class to create something decent. This, my friend, is also teaching me a lesson in patience which I have such a lack of most of the time.
just some songs off top of my head. explaining why they mean something would take a book.
* 16 days - whiskeytown * better man - pearl jam * the river - bruce springsteen * angel - sarah mclaughlin * breakbeats on the playa - dj ml's breakbeats * walking to you - eveything but the girl * thanksgiving - george winston * helpless - sugar * hurt - johnny cash * tuesday morning - the pogues * you dance - eastmountainsouth * april skies - the jesus and mary chain * grace is gone - dave mattews * burning flame - vitamin z
wow, and right off top of my head. of course there will be 50 more as soon as i hit the "post comment" button that i'll want there instead. but i did this stream of concious like, so maybe it's more honest.
You have all this stuff? I know what a pain it is to spend days dumping audio CDs onto your drive. Oy. If I get CDs from people, you bet I'll know that it's an effort to not be taken lightly.
Maybe this is my way of reconnecting with everyone. I've been shelling myself up for a while. You know... new beginnings and all.
yep, i have all this stuff and quite a bit more too. music is the reflection of what's going on in my head, but these are the songs that have remained part of my collection and played through the years. and some new(er) ones that have recently made the cut.
i'll burn you an mp3 disk with as much stuff as i can fit on it... with these included in there somewhere. you'll see what an eclectic clutter my music tastes are. but you have here the original list.
and i'm in touch with the shelling up thing... and the bursting out of a cocoon - fairly recently, too. don't rush, it's just part of the cycle.
