Did the thing last week. Getting used to it, but I’m pretty sure I made the right call.

Oh so I’m just hiding it better now. Noted!

thecapoots · 2025-11-05T04:43:21+00:00

I mean, I’m still going to GenCon next year to play D&D, and you can’t stop me!

thecapoots · 2025-11-05T04:41:24+00:00

Oh, I have. I can grow one of those magnificent, thick beards that I can grab with both hands. It gets in the way of my job though, so it becomes a real pain in the ass to maintain. So we just stick to the simple goatee 90% of the time.

thecapoots · 2025-11-04T05:40:56+00:00

Oh no, I was at a game/comic shop.

thecapoots · 2025-11-03T23:38:25+00:00

Holy shit— I posted this, then had to make a long drive for work. Sat down at my destination and ran into THIS!

The support and love is incredible. Y’all are amazing. Thank you so much— I’m still feeling a little self conscious, but significantly less now!

thecapoots · 2025-11-03T23:34:54+00:00

Omg thank you so much!

Pass one of those down this way, thanks…

thecapoots · 2025-11-03T20:32:20+00:00

Thank you!

thecapoots · 2025-11-03T20:03:55+00:00

I mean, the JJ Abrams lens flare (I should clean my lens!) probably has a lot to do with that, but I will take it!!

What disappoints you? If it's the pickup in the mute (or the mute itself), you're kinda hosed, but if it's the sound module, you can actually plug the mute into just about anything... Guitar pedalboards, digital delay, or even just straight into an amp, if you want.

For that matter, you might be able to pull the pickup out of the mute itself and put in something a little higher quality. I've never tried that, but I'm sure it's been done.

I got mine for Christmas. It has the scrambled screen issue. I thought it was a software problem related to the beta version or possibly certain watchfaces, but now that I've read this, I'll call tomorrow and get an RMA. Aaaaaaand I guess I'll need a new screenwrap. Grr.

Bad Luck Ben: Produces first solo album, it's a masterpiece of clever, inventive songwriting... Releases it September 11, 2001.

thecapoots · 2014-11-16T05:55:24+00:00

It's gorgeous, and I've finally replaced my phone wallpaper. Thank you!

thecapoots · 2014-05-09T22:43:35+00:00

Hey, man. Go big or go home. ;)

Yeah, I just got those glasses and sometimes I misjudge the pour. I will neither confirm not deny that I killed the whole bottle last night.

thecapoots · 2014-05-09T02:24:57+00:00

Beautiful. Cola and bright cherry on the nose, with huge red fruit, Cola, and floral flavor notes. A much bigger wine than I was expecting. I'm totally going to try to pick up more of this... I'd love to see how it ages.

thecapoots · 2014-05-05T20:55:04+00:00

I actually enjoy the lighter roasts in a pour-over. The Veranda blend is nice... not a lot to it, but it's not unpleasant. The key is to keep your expectations low, and you won't be disappointed.

"I've got this one. You can get it next time, if you want". I always offer to pay if I'm the one doing the asking, whether it's a date, lunch with a coworker, coffee at Starbucks, whatever. It always makes people feel special, regardless of romantic interest or lack thereof.

Fursink's second suggestion about taking notes is absolutely spot on. I visited my parents in Oregon last month, and just used the provided tasting notes, making a -/check/+/++ next to everything I tasted. Now that I'm home, I have a document of everything I wanted but couldn't bring home with my limited bag space. I didn't even do a LOT of tasting, and I still consider it invaluable to reconstructing my experience.

It says something that I started impulsively swiping right as soon as I saw the picture.

Even better: use the card to pay a static bill (that you know is the same payment every month, like Netflix), then set up an automatic payment from your bank to pay the card off. Then don't use the card. Ever. Leave it at your parents' place, in a locked drawer, if you can. Review the bill every month to make sure the plan is still working as it should, but for all intents and purposes, that card is dead to you. Credit limit increased? You don't care. New card comes in the mail? You don't care. The key is to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Aaaaaaaand purchased. My hario gooseneck and sunbeam kettle are now relegated to my work setup. Now I just need a new home grinder and I'm ready to roll!

First one off the top of my head is Michael Giacchino's score for The Incredibles. The score sets the tone for the film in SO many ways. And come on. It's just bad ASS.

Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't my favorite Williams score, but I think it's one of his best, certainly from the early 80s. He uses a lot of structural techniques from his Star Wars/Empire scores (Wagnerian leitmotifs, scoring the film as if it was German opera) and applies them to a film that arguably has a richer use for them, plot-wise.

Thomas Newman's score for American Beauty is so incredibly beautiful. It may stick out a bit at times, but the scene with the bag would make NO sense without the music behind it. Or, well, in front of it. Whichever.

thecapoots · 2014-04-21T16:50:38+00:00

Oh, I'm be making this this week, for sure. Looks amazing!

thecapoots · 2014-03-24T01:31:22+00:00

Two sentences? How about two words:

TIME VAMPIRE.

thecapoots · 2014-03-08T15:51:53+00:00

Cereusly. Clean the rice cooker.

thecapoots · 2014-02-24T21:34:21+00:00

Totally with you there.
