I have tomorrow off and nothing to really do during the day, I can't decide if I should stay up late and sleep in late tomorrow or go to bed and wake up early and have a full day...

I'll keep that in mind if I have issues, thanks!

Okay so... I went and scooped it up but... I misread the box when I first looked at it the other day (it was up on a shelf and I guess maybe I was too overly-excited to see a recorder in a shop to notice at first ), turns out it was just an H1... I suppose an H4N would have probably been more even at a Pawn Shop. But I really just wanted a quality recorder as I didn't have one before and it should work for the purposes I plan to use it for (field samplings and maybe some vocals, and maybe recording my guitar around the apartment). I figure this will be fun to play with and get used to and I can upgrade sometime when I have more money. After looking at prices seems I still got a decent deal on it, and it was like new in the box.

So I was browsing through a pawn shop around here the other day and noticed they got a Zoom H4N recorder sitting on the shelf and they're only asking $74 for it. If I remember right they usually go for about 200 more than that. I didn't have the money at the time but considering the area it's in I don't think anyone's gonna be swooping in for audio gear anytime soon. I'm thinking I may go pick it up with my next paycheck.... Anyways. anyone have any experience using these? How are they? Is it as much of a steal as it seems for $74? Also I've never really purchased gear from a pawn shop before should I be hesitant or go for it?

Oh nice, I have the full compiled works of Lovecraft (which I still need to finish, read all the essentials though) This one would be awesome, one of his best IMO

Anyone ever read any of those Flight collections? they always catch my eye when I'm in a bookstore or comic shop because the artwork on the covers seems very well done, but other than that I don't really know much about them.

Traded in some of my post-issue 100 Spawn collection (series kinda fell off after issue 100) and got The Long Halloween, can definitely see how Christopher Nolan borrowed elements of this one throughout the films, I'm about halfway through already and enjoying it quite a bit.

Hmm, maybe I'd enjoy it more if I had read Red Rain, but I found Bloodstorm to be pretty cheesy.

Been reading a lot of Batman novels in the last year (been on a huge Batman fix, im dying waiting for The Dark Knight Rises)... I've read Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum and Bloodstorm. All of those were great reads except the last one, which was a really stupid spin-off where Batman becomes like dracula and is barely related to the whole Batman universe. I was given it by my former roommate and should have known it'd be dumb because he described it as "so fucking awesome" and he's a tasteless fuckhead. Next I'd really like to read the Jeph Loeb Batman novels: I'll probably start with The Long Halloween, then move to Dark Victory

Panic Room

I'm pretty sure the name has come up in the thread already but a few guys were going on about Mord Fustang in my facebook feed, never listened but I'm assuming it's more brostep garbage

Why are you so quick to call this one absurd? I browsed through some of it, and while it makes a rather extreme accusation towards the US gov, it certainly seems to have a lot of supporting evidence to back it up. I'm not saying I 100% believe what he says to be true. But, I honestly wouldn't put it past our government to be capable of pulling such strings, and that's not just from other heresay conspiracies, but from things the government has actually done in the past. For anyone remotely interested in this stuff I HIGHLY reccomend this book, it's not conspiracies or fiction but rather it talks about the extensive amount of projects and secret experiements that the US government has been responsible for since WW2 that have been leaked, declassified, or uncovered by former officials, some of which are quite sketchy. The author did TONS of research going into this book and it's pretty well done. I picked it up on a whim in high school at a used book shop and it's quite an eye-opening read. http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/0963906240

Revisiting the older seasons of Breaking Bad in preparation for next month... It's just making me love the show even more, going back knowing what happens later on makes me realize they really did the development of each character brilliantly. Haha, I've been progressively working my way through the X-files as well, and yeah that episode was just stupid.. wasn't it ironically also the highest budget episode for the season?

Officially moving to St. Paul tomorrow, I'm with my girlfriend at her parent's house. She's going through all her old stuff her mom has saved and getting all sentimental wanting to bring stuff we don't need to the apartment. I'm afraid I'm gonna end up with a bedroom full of stuffed animals... if this does become the case, I'm turning the living room into a mancave.

The new El-P album is fucking dope, looking forward to hear what Aesop Rock's gonna push out later this year... Seem's Aesop's been in kind of a dark place in his head the last year dealing with the death of his best friend, etc... I'm hoping for some darker, sharp-tongued bangers.

Re: Lateralus re-ordered... Jules and some of you other guys might get a kick out of this... I was in the toolchat room on the official page the other day (yeah, I still go in there from time to time, wouldn't reccomened it but its a nostalgia thing I used to go there as a teeen quite often) anyways... One rather obsessive fan presented an order to me, claiming he had "figured out Lateralus" along with a reeeeaaaally detailed explination, that I can't quite remember/didnt understand enough of but I did copy down. His reasoning was something along the lines of using the fibonnaci sequence to jump up and down through track order, moving up when he got to faaip de oiad. aso through the titles of the tracks (I forget some of the details and steps in there) but by Doing this he also found out that the last few letters in each title can spell out "tool lateralus" when put in this order... I listened but passed him off as being an overly obsessed fan until curiously I tried putting it in this order and went back and re-visited the album and well... it flows pretty damn awesomely TL;DR obsessive fan suggested this order claiming fibbonaci tie-ins as to why he ordered it that way... I tired it, it sounds awesome, maybe he's right? Here's the order: disposiTion reflectiOn faaip de Oiad ticks and Leeches lateraLus triAd manTra thE patient the gRudge parAbol paraboLa eon blUe apocalypse schiSm

1. Madvillainy 2. Operation: Doomsday 3. MM... Food 4. Born Like This 5. Dangerdoom I need to give Born Like This a revisit though, and I've been meaning to hear Vaudville Villain... Dangerdoom I'd probably rank higher if it weren't for all the Adult Swim tie-in's that I think are kinda distracting and detract from the album

My gf and I have been watching old episodes of The X-Files a lot lately, we're about 1/3 of the way through season 2. Also been trying to catch up on The Office, but decided to go back and start from season 1, moving through them pretty quickly though, I'm already up to season 3 again. Also been slowly working my way through Sons of Anarchy but it's been harder to find time to watch that one, cause I have to watch it by myself cause the lady won't watch it with me. Also can't wait for Breaking Bad to start up again...

My housemate upstairs has his surround sound up too loud, so I can kinda hear it over the episode of The Office I'm streaming off Netflix with my PS3 and listening to through my monitors...

That David promo was awesome, I can't wait to watch this -
I fucking hate my housemate that lives across the hall from me... so much so that I'm considering buying a spray bottle pissing in it, then proceeding to mist it around his room when he's not home. But I can't find a spray bottle anywhere in town.
