Well, the characters were being condescending and reductive, but they aren't without a good point. Sometimes it can get excessive to the point of sounding less like music and more like noise.Quote:

Like I said - I greatly respect the skill it takes to play. Just not my style of music.
This is more of my jam in traditional classical (although I prefer new classical, modern minimalist stuff):

Oh sleep. I got about 6 hours last night, if that. It's going to take all my willpower to just go through the motions today. I am not okay with not getting enough sleep.
Happy to get 5 hours a night.
I'm not sure whether this will get seen more here or in the News Thread, but I'm alerting as many people as a I can. 2 million Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn passwords have been stolen. May be a good idea to change yours if you have one of these accounts.

Re: sleep. This semester has been odd in that my body seems to be rested after only about 6 hours, so I've been waking up from 5:30 to 6:00 am depending on when I go to sleep. It's not especially fun, but I haven't yet suffered any side-effects (no sickness or headaches)--my body just feels like it's ready to go.
This is me. And when I wake up, I'm immediately alert and can't ever return to slumber. I'd say I get six hours of uninterrupted sleep maybe once every other month. Otherwise I average four. I'm considering a sleep study.Quote:

Here comes our every couple months discussion on sleep and our sleep habits.
What would you like to discuss EWO??Quote:

New topic: bidets.
Go.
I used to have one, now I moved out and I don't.
Discovered I never really needed it.
So, you consciously want to move the conversation from eating, to sleeping, to ... Shitting?Quote:

Speaking of sleep, it is my bedtime and I am still at work while carpet gets installed and it might take another hour or two. Trying not to doze off.
A lot of the pizzas mentioned here sound/look gross.
Bound 2 is pretty great.
Naps are for the infertile.
My parents bathroom in the house I grew up in has one. No one ever used it. The house was briefly owned by drug dealers before my parents purchased it, so its installation was most likely the result of a coke-fueled home improvement project.Quote:

I love deep dish. Detroit is great. I think NY is good. Not a huge fan of thin crust but it works well with pepperoni.
Bidets are a pretty common thing in Argentina. I've been in the US three times and I don't think I ever saw one.
