Getting Hooked On Music

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 8 Mar 07

Do you ever find yourself getting hooked on a couple of songs and just listening to them over, and over and over again? I find that happening to me more and more often these days. At the moment, I seem to play on repeat nothing...

Home Decorating For Dummies

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 6 Mar 07

Yes, I know it's a book, but I'm not going to shell out twenty bucks when I can just ask my friends. ;) I'm in the process of upgrading my living quarters. It's a very long story that doesn't need getting into here, but for the...

I am back! I have *finally* kicked this thing that's had me out of commission. Now I'm back on track and catching up on the million of things I need to do. There's nothing like debilitating illness to get the chores built up....

American VAs

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 2 Mar 07

With more money and more effort being put into American dubs, the quality of voice acting has risen dramatically in the passed decade. Compare the dubs of the 80s with a dub of today and the difference is mind boggling. Gone are...

Stupid Human Bodies!

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 25 Feb 07

So, I haven't been around much. I've been having trouble with getting nutrients, which happens, and I'll spare you the fun details of passing out at 1 AM in the morning and needing an IV to stave off dehydration. Now I'm in...

Of The House Medical Staff, Who Would You Prefer?

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 25 Feb 07

I've been knocked off my a$$ with a pretty nasty medical issue the passed few days - hence why I've been so unusually quiet - and it got me thinking. If I had some rare, bizarre disease that couldn't be easily diagnosed, which...

My First Experience With Salvia

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 21 Feb 07

A small order of dried salvia leaves I ordered came today. And after much research and much discussion, I gave smoking them a try. I wasn't sure what to expect, and even now I still can't quite put into words my experience. It...

When Life Keeps Kicking You

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 19 Feb 07

And there's nothing you can do. How do you deal with that? I mean really? As most of my friends here know, I'm not that great off financially. But now, due to unforeseen circumstances, neither is my sister. Or her husband and...

Gardening In The High Desert

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 18 Feb 07

I've been contemplating adding a garden to my backyard for a while now. There isn't much there now save for bushes and trees. It's pretty, but lacks color. I get bored looking at the same thing day in and day out. And I do...

I Could Be Scathing....

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 18 Feb 07

And cruel and single out some poor, deluded group to lambaste publicly. I could. And believe me, there are those that deserve it. Before you jump on me and call me mean, stop and think for a moment. I believe every single one...

Masters of Chant

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 16 Feb 07

A few years ago, a friend of mine told me they had found an amazing Pink Floyd cover, and I had to listen to it. I was skeptical, as I am a Pink Floyd purist. But they convinced me. I was not prepared for what I heard. Pink...

This is not your average 'omg I hate C&Pers!' discussion. There are enough of those. And this is in humor, rather than malice. Please keep that in mind. I've noticed a lot of copy and pasted articles and whatnot lately, with no...

Salvia Divinorum - Experiences?

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 14 Feb 07

In my on-going quest to legal marijuana alternatives, I've read numerous reports of the amazing effects of salvia divinorum. Tales of out of mind spiritual experiences unable to be described in words. I admit, the reported potency...

When I Say I Don't Care, I Mean I Don't Care

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 14 Feb 07

It's Valentine's Day. Which means nothing to me other than tomorrow I will be able to buy truck loads of cheap candy. That is what the 'holiday' boils down to, for me. Cheap candy. And really, that is a reason to celebrate. Candy...

Music and Association

misskatonic @misskatonic (3722) • United States 12 Feb 07

We humans are always making associations in our mind. Even if we don't realize it. Certain sounds and sensations become linked with certain people, places and events. And the most common of those is music. There are always...

Yesterday was a busy day for me - I was scouring Ebay for long black gloves and couldn't find a single pair the right length and color. Such a pity. Now I am back! And ready to leap back into the choppy waters of Mylot! I...
