    'uu the phd sounds nice delish too. I can see the dilemma then. bon chance plstik

     

    thanks! hopefully I can make up my mind this week..

     

     

    Got a job offer for a job following my MSc and an offer for a PhD at a grad school.. Can't decide between the two...

     

    Go for the PhD - working blows goats (and I like my job).

     

    Edit: Assuming you don't have family responsibilities that is.

     

     

    Yeah normally I would, but baby is on its way (due end of october) and a bigger salary would be nice... the phd salary + my wives maternity leave would be enough for 2 years, unsure though what it'll look like in the 3rd year. I could also do my Phd in industry with a better payment, but it's unclear if it'll happen at all and unlikely before October... not sure if I wanna take that risk.

     

    damn grown-up stuff....

     

    mind if i ask what it would be in? interested as i may face a similar choice (provided i get into a phd program)

     

    1wp: my dad doesn't understand the difference between tasty food and edible food. he buys stuff that could be good and then ruins it.

  2. While the instruments in Sadeness are definetely corny: the Gregorian choir, pan flutes, etc, the subject matter is a little bit more edgier than the usual new age blandness. I mean it's about Marquis de Sade. So it isn't that typical new age track.

    totally agree, i love choral music in almost any form. the track my head originally went to was Return To Innocence, but then remembered Sadeness

  3. Yeah, I was going to post Deep Forest. Just heard it recently coming from a hippie store. Fffuck.

     

    There was also this group that mixed native American singing with some new age synths? I can't remember the name.

    ?

    I'll embrace ridiculous blast beats if you embrace emo choruses

     

     

    cmon, reveal your inner deftones

     

    haha i have no problem with em but nile is mastercraft

     

     

    it's hilarious to me that this is the official video and titled linking park

  5. I had a Facebook from 08-sometime last fall when I deactivated it. I didn't feel like it did too much to impinge me in many ways, but it did heavily alter the way I saw people after looking at them via the social media lens. Ended up with lots of disdain for lots of people. We've been given a new way to judge people, really. Now we can look at the things they post on some medium and think "Why would anyone care about this? Why would anyone think others may care about this?" , or perhaps "Why would anyone share something which may be very personal, offensive, or just ignorant with others who they barely acquainted?" Anyway I ended up doing this a lot, and disliking people a lot more quickly than I probably would have otherwise. That was slightly irritating to me, it is almost nice to have somewhat of an "artard filter" but I think it did, for me, more harm than good. This is essentially why I got rid of mine. I was tired of seeing inane bullshit, but I was more tired of knowing that 95% of the time I should've entirely expected inane bullshit.

  6. just finished Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke, really beautiful stuff. started on Niels Lyhne by Jens Peter Jacobsen as per Rilke's praises in Letters; a nice read so far, very classical and elegant. also attempting to get through Gravity's Rainbow but school starting up will likely shit all over that.
