Yeah man, sunburns really suck, and I burn easily.
Cain, what's up with your user title?
You'd have to read "The Bourne Identity" to really understand. Essentially, it is the method by which Bourne reconstructs who he once was: Delta was his code-name in the Medusa legion in Vietnam (a black ops death squad) and Cain is his alias, an assassin so powerful that he threatens Carlos the Jackal, Europe's most lethal terrorist. In the book, Bourne's CIA job was to pose as the assassin Cain and threaten Carlos' ego, so that Carlos would be drawn out to kill Cain, and so the CIA would trap Carlos and bring him to justice. The method of remembrance drilled into Bourne's head was "Delta is for Charlie and Charlie is for Cain," in reference to the naming system used in Vietnam, and then for remembering his mission it was "Charlie is for Carlos (since 'Charlie' was slang for Vietcong Communist soldiers, and Carlos was rumored to be a Russian-trained assassin) and Carlos is for Cain."
You'd really have to read it, though. The plot is much more labyrinthine and VERY different from the movie.
I've only seen the movies, which I liked. I'll have to read the books sometime.
I ordered "The Plot Against America" by the way. :)

The books suddenly sound a lot more interesting than I thought they'd be from the films.
The books suddenly sound a lot more interesting than I thought they'd be from the films.
They're essentially Cold War spy stories in the vein of "Six Days of the Condor." They are extremely complex and labyrinthine in plot structure, however. The plot is much different in the novel: Bourne's task was to draw out Carlos the Jackal by posing as an assassin named Cain, but the mission failed: one of Carlos' compatriots shot him in the skull and he got amnesia. The book is Bourne trying to find out who he is while escaping not just the CIA henchmen (who think that Bourne has turned--it's shaky in the movie WHY exactly they try to kill Bourne for failing his mission) but also from Carlos' vast network of informers and assassins.
The whole series is like that. The filmmakers came up with the plot to the Bourne Supremacy movie out of thin air, it seems, because in the book, Bourne resumes his original identity (David Webb) and teaches school, until the CIA kidnaps Marie to get Bourne to go to Kowloon in Hong Kong, where Carlos has assassinated high-ranking Chinese "taipans" and blamed it on Jason Bourne (who was widely known throughout the Far East during Vietnam, when Bourne was cultivating Cain's reputation by taking credit for kills he did not commit). The CIA traps Bourne into going on a mission for them, until it becomes apparent that Carlos has orchestrated the whole thing to get Bourne once and for all. COMPLETELY different plot from the movie.
I'd check out the books. They're difficult to read, somewhat, but very intriguing and savvy to intelligence operations and organizations.

Chris- Okay, your tone didn't sound too bad. It was hard to tell how thick it was compared to mine, due to the difference in what we're comparing, but it really didn't sound too bad. If anything, I would kick back on the gain a bit, due to the low quality. It happens to the best of us. :p If you want a better sound, try placing the mic in different places. How close do you usually have it to your amp? Oh, and also, keep in mind that I was playing drop D, so that could be why it sounded so thick.

Hehe, that's why I chose it over Fantomas - Delerium Cordia.
Actually, I had a Tomohawk album, the Fantomas album and the X-ecutioners one, and I was fully intent on buying all three, along with Equilibrium XI and the Miles Davis one. My girlfriend, however, slowly took the 4 full-priced ones (the Miles Davis was on special) and told me I could pick just one. :(

Funny, I never really like Identitiy but thought that Supremacy was really good
It depends on what your mind is geared towards. I'm a huge fan of intrigue and mystery, and the Bourne Identity had more in common with "Gorky Park" and "Three Days of the Condor" than with, say, "The Sum of all Fears." "The Bourne Supremacy" was a superior action flick, but contained very little of the kind of awesome mystery and feeling of being involved with spies that Identity had for me.

Problem is, I need something high-powered. My ideal system would have a rather large hard drive for schoolwork and games, and a second (possibly larger) drive for the editing software. Do you realize how much disc space it requires to edit one full mini-DV tape?
The cards are currently stacked against me on this one.

I have a Apple Preforma 2600 in my room...oldest thing I've ever seen. 75 mhz processor...slower than a tortise with asthma and 2 broken legs.
Plus, Apple makes really top-notch software...Garageband (though i can't run that on my shitbox), iTunes, iMovie, iChat, pretty much anything with an i in front of it. :p
AAAND Apple invented iPods, one of the greatest inventions ever made.

Remember who you're talking to. The truth is, my whole family is in rather dire financial straits at this point. A new computer for me simply isn't in the budget when we have to pay our heating and electric bills, car insurance, groceries, etc.
The reality of the situation is that all I'm doing right now is shopping around for solutions for the future. If it were as cut-and-dried as "Just buy a Mac," I would be in the car right now on my way to the nearest computer store.

And in a moment of monumentally poor judgment, I punched my desk.
Problem was, my fist slipped. I took a huge chunk out of my outside knuckle which bled for five minutes and wouldn't stop burning and stinging until I smothered it in Neosporin.

3 most important words you will ever hear:
Get. A. Mac.
Can't get easier than that... :thumb:
Macs are crap and useless nowadays. Even the majority of the people who used macs before, i.e. video, graphic, and sound editors, have been switching over to windows in the past few years. Due to the rate that technology has been increasing, the hardware end of a standard PC can be such insanity, and macs cannot compare.
Plus lets not forget that as far as software goes, macs do not have much.
However, you should never really buy a name brand computer, you just get ripped off for a piece of junk. Your best bet is to either build it yourself, have someone you know who knows how to do it build one for you, or go to a local PC repair shop that builds computers.

When I was sitting in a one of my friend's college classes over spring break, their instructor was talking about one of Mac's newest computers, which has a 2 metabyte hard drive. He was astounded by how much farther ahead of everyone else Mac is.
Then it occured to me.
WHO NEEDS TWO METABYTES!?!?!
Just for anyone wondering, meta is one thousand giga's, I think. This would be like owning a mini-van with 500 horsepower- Way more than you're going to need for anything.

"peros" in Spanish is "buts," so for a minute I thought it was "No buts about it." But then calientes doesn't translate to "about it."

I uploaded that in honor of my 5,000th post(lol) and it took me about 90 minutes, so you all better use up the 25 downloads. :-D
Jake, did you ever listen to Sear Bliss? If so, what did you think of them?

I got banned for a day for double-posting.
Anyway, I recently picked up The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory. For once, I'm reading about music theory, and I actually get it! I'm finally able to figure out the root of at least half the problems I had with my compositions thus far, and I haven't even gotten to the chapter on chord progressions yet. For the first time in my life, I get it!
Hurrah to you Alex!
So, I just pissed off my new boss, before I even started. You see, I told her I could get this Saturday off from my normal work, and do a shift for her. However, my work was being particularly obtuse about it, so I couldn't... I just sent her an email explaining that I feel bad about making a promise I couldn't keep, so I hope she understands. :(
