I'm at work right now thinking about how much I want to quit and move to Nashville lol Only reason I haven't done so yet is because I haven't secured a job out there. smh the struggle
On April 8th the Chill or Be Chilled Turntable.FM room will be hosting a series of great musicians playing live over the course of 12 hours 10AM-10PM PST:
Globel Warming at its best. No more Fall or Spring in the North East. Goes from high of 41 to 79 overnight.
That thumbs up is actually a thumbs down. Waking up to it being hot after being windy and cool yesterday (while outside working). I miss spring.
Spring and Fall I always get sick because of the dramatic temp changes. Shorts one day full friggin snow gear the next. I just ask for consistancy. I actually like the cold better, but the cold,hot,cold,cold,hot,cold,hot kills me.
I don't hang on a lot of boards, but a few, some for years. Talking strictly festival boards, I find each really has it's own personality. Do you think it is a product of the people who usually go to the festival, the style of the music if the fest has some sort of focus, the demographic age of the festival thus the demographic of the linked board? I think it is if the board has strict mods or not

Just throwing this out there, but it's the subtle markers of climate change observed over time that confirm its validity. One dramatic swing of weather doesn't prove climate change, just as one unseasonably cold day does not disprove it.

Just going by what I seen in my region. Never have I ever actually seen the ice caps melting nor have I been taking sea level measurements through my lifetime. But im pretty sure with the ammount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the lack of gentle seasonal changes into full on noreasters, blizzards, and natural disasters to dust, tornados, and drought around the nation account for somewhat of a climate change.
She actually dropped out of her PhD program. Her advisers congratulated her on the decision. LOL. She HAD to go to work not having received her grant to pursue her dissertation work. Her BA is in Russian and Russian studies, MA I think generically "anthropology"- not sure. She specifically studied shamanism in the Siberian region which she had taught English in. Siberia has a whole other culture than what we think of as "Russian". Though they are Russian citizens and all they border Mongolia and look more Asian than Slavic and actually spoke Russian as a second language. The primary language in the region she was at I can't remember the name of and Google results aren't sparking any memory . Boo! So she was teaching these kids a third language by way of their second.
Awesome, thanks for sharing, Jade! I am always interested in what other anthropologists choose to study. Major props to your sis for choosing to live and do fieldwork in Siberia! Most anthropologists try to focus on somewhere tropical, but your sis goes to the harshest climate instead. Amazing!
I played the print out version of cards against humanity - had a quacking blast!! I got way to drunk watching my favorite basketball team lose to my second favorite basketball team. I won a high stakes game of mini golf against my GF in which I obtained 5 dollars (but not really because I felt bad).
The Whore and I went to the Cleveland International Film Fest. We ate at Lola, Michael Symon's joint. And at the best sushi joint I've been to in a while. Enjoyed some art at Little Italy's art walk.
Had a great weekend overall, minus Whoreshack developing a temporary addiction to gambling at the casino.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

So the wife and I just new bought a house in my hometown.
Shes ecstatic and im a nervous wreck. She just finished her masters in teaching and left a very nice paying sales job to take an obviously not-well-paying job teaching because its her passion. My brother, dad, and I own a small heating/air business, so things are always up-and-down for us. 2012 was great...2013 has been slooow.
We have to decide to sell or rent the house we are moving out of. Selling would be nice because the money we'd make on it would pay for almost 2 years of our new, higher mortgage... and we could rent it out for about $150 more per month than that house's current mortgage (we've done a lot of work on it, all new floors, paint, deck, improved landscaping...much better shape now than 5 yrs ago) I just dont want to have to deal with 2 mortgages and the responsibilities of maintaining two homes/yards.
Renting is hard work, though it can be worth it especially if you get good tenants. Be sure to prescreen the hell out of people and hire someone to do background checks. Last thing you want to deal with is unruly tenants (costs of evictions are very high). That being said it is a buyers market (or atleast in my area) so it might benefit you to rent and wait to sell until prices go back up.
Something I forgot to mention in my original post that can be used to your advantage both ways (if you are the lessor or lessee), is that tenants in this country have a ton of rights. If you hire a good lawyer (if there is such a thing) they will be able to write a contract to get around some of the more absurd ones. I don't really know many of the specifics, but when I had a rent to own contract on my house (wanted to buy but the title had tons of problems), I got my friends dad who is in property law to look it over and he told me all the rights I was signing away as a tenant. He also told me if I ever wanted to rent (which I might in the future) to get him to write the contract out. I don't consider this as being sleezy just watching my own ass.

renting can definitely be a good investment and source of income, but a great contract is key. as well as of course, as also mentioned, extensively screening tenants. extensively. make sure you know your rights and responsibilties as a landlord, and be prepared for your phone to ring anytime there is an issue (plumbing, electrical, heating and air). consider a home warranty or a service plan with a local company that covers those systems. also, be prepared to fix any damage after tenants move out, there is always something and that's the reason for requiring a decent deposit. good luck!
it is 75 and sunny here right now and I am sitting in a class called "Issues in Professionalism in Nursing"... which is about as fun as it sounds. can't wait to get out of class and go soak up some sunshine!
