i got a handy from a negress

it was only a handy because your dick wasnt black enough

and because i was on xanax and passed out because handys suck

[QUOTE=Juddybear;18846532]lol, yeah the big bang theory is lame but i can't help myself, i like it

not so much the new eps tho, they are p terrible

like, leonard's gf is way too goddamn hot to be with him, same with howard

dat accent son omg[/QUOTE]

the new episodes are realizing they should focus on the actual characters instead of half-assed attempts at making fun of geek-culture

so they're looking up a bit

and yeah lol but I think it's because people are ok with looking at ugly dudes and hot chicks rather than the other way round

giving blood wasnt as bad as i thought it would be

[QUOTE=illmitch;18846592]giving blood wasnt as bad as i thought it would be[/QUOTE]

it's really not

the needle is just uncomfortable, feels really warm in your arm.

[QUOTE=Juddybear;18846532]like, leonard's gf is way too goddamn hot to be with him, same with howard[/QUOTE]

manifestation of the patriarchy

leonard is a perfectly attractive fella

he just pretends (not very well) to be a run-down geeky guy

[QUOTE=Gorgon;18846594]it's really not

yeah, i have a pretty big phobia of needles so that was the hardest thing to get over. just had to look away and listen to music

[QUOTE=illmitch;18846603]yeah, i have a pretty big phobia of needles so that was the hardest thing to get over. just had to look away and listen to music[/QUOTE]

I have no issue with needles nor blood. I watched it go in and watched my blood come out the whole time.

dorky dudes with hot chicks is a really common motif and it's catered to this exact audience

it's sort of funny that it backfires half of the time cuz people like juddy actually get jealous and upset at the fictitious situation

that's why they make the relationships so fucked up and unstable, makes people feel good about themselves

so glad i stopped watching tv when i did

y'all should too

cooking shows

we're cancelling cable at my place finally

just gonna download/netflix/buy the shows that are worth it. which isn't many

house will be much quieter now, which I am excited for



I want to move out so bad uuuuugh

i always look forward to going home because it's a beautiful setting and a beautiful house but the sound of the tv is inescapable with its layout and its really really frustrating

very difficult for me to read

but i'm moving back in a few months and building a brick sleeping/reading shack

very very excited

I've never lived outside of this house, lived here my whole life. Movies aren't annoying, but TV with commercials is so uncomfortable and chaotic. Can't study, read, write, relax or do anything with it on.

that's cool, how big will the shack be?

idk roughly 11 x 7 x 8

gonna try to last the winter in it

will there be power?

no

raised bunk. shelving. desk. fireplace. candle or kerosene lamps for light
god i'm excited
thinking about doing it with an amalgam of reclaimed tiles instead of brick.

basically one small barrel vault with earthen shelter to the north side

it's so i can practice with structural tiling/reinforced brick. sorta like that in terms of structure but way smaller and simpler

must not get that cold where you live then, eh?

no it gets very cold, historically

wont be a problem at all, will be very well insulated with earth and the fireplace is going to be built with large stones under the earthen shelter to the north so that the heat will be stored and released over long periods

well if there are any cracks or the bricks aren't placed perfectly won't it not be able to keep the air out?

I don't think I fully understand the structure of this thing

in any structure you want some air circulation at all times, in all weather

which is actually an issue with this sort of structure because cracks are rare relative to other methods. this structure is basically clay tile layered or "sandwiched" over reinforced mortar (imbued with tensile strength through a bunch of different stuff, chopped straw for example) and lasts for fucking ever with absolutely minimal maintenance

the gaudi structure pictured is a little different because of the climate. def doesnt have any cracks, has windows tho

hmm so how are you going to get air in? worst thing would be to have stagnant air near the fire producing CO or worse yet making the fire go out.
Maybe windows would be good to put in?

it'll maybe have a window to the south, maybe a hatch above the bunk, definitely two adjustable circular vents/openings on the underside of the apex of the barrel on either side which will both be reachable from the bunk

air will circulate through the imperfect doorway and up the chimney regardless

when the fire is going air isnt' supposed to go down it, right? that's not safe, right?

and oh yeah that's true about the door.

it wouldnt go down it
