It gets better. She gets all high and mighty about "OH! SO YOU GET ALL YOUR INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA LOL" because I sent the one link so she retorts with a wiki link to Ben Stein's propaganda film Expelled. Then blocks me. Whaaat a bitch.

hey.
hey.

so, remember how we were talking before about the differences between browsers? well, i just realized something yesterday regarding the difference between chrome and firefox that is actually very important when choosing between them --

both of these browsers have tabbed browsing, but the way chrome handles tabs REALLY bogs down your system.
- when you have multiple tabs open in FF, they're still all handled as one, combined process in your system
- when you have multiple tabs open in chrome, they're handled as a completely separate process for every single tab you have open. that means your computer is starting a brand new adventure for each individual thing, rather than combining them all to save on resources.

SO.. if you're the kind of person that keeps more than one tab open at a time [like i am.. i never have less than 3 tabs open.. never. and usually half a dozen or more at a time], then firefox will be a lot faster for you.

thought you'd be interested to know.

That seems quite harsh, it must have stung. Was it done in a sensitive way? It could have been you were done a big favor by being told not to pursue something that would have ended in frustration. What do you think of that now? Are you grateful? Does this teacher know how it made you feel then and now?

It was done in a not gentle way at all. It was very blunt, to the point. I remember I was sitting in my letter jacket in the office doing some sheet music sorting and filing for one of the bands. (I was the head librarian) and I just pushed the papers to the side, grabbed my bag, and cried for what felt like hours in the instrument storage area. Something just snapped, and I no longer wanted any part of the band. Looking back, I'm glad he told me because I love learning so much more. I really enjoy my academic career. Almost more than music. If anything, I'm grateful that I went down a different path, and found something I love, not just something I like.

During my senior year I had very little do with Mr. Chandler. I was a drill instructor and section leader, but that's it. I did walk into my concert band tryout stating that if it came down to it, I would choose my AP classes over band, and that got me bumped into a different band so I could do both. But honestly, I wouldn't go to classes unless I knew we were doing something big for contests or he was taking attendance.

If I saw him today, I would probably thank him for telling me not to pursue music, but that's it. I would not spend any longer amount of time with him. He did break my heart in a big bad way in high school, and that's when my depression really set in, so hearing that did a lot of damage. But overall, I'm lucky I found something better to do.

I'm betting it hit Reddit before I saw it on boingboing.net.

Should such an admission be worth anything, I certainly will testify to the fact you saw it and posted about it first.

Vitalogy is not a great starting pointing. For me, If I had been younger/older when they came out, I might not be such a huge fan. It's was one of those perfect timing situation. The fall of glam, the commercialization of rap, and grunge popped out. Possibly also my Seattle pride (since I grew up there) played a part in loving most bands in the scene. But it always comes back to the music for me.

I could suggest a ton of songs. I will compile a list when I get a free moment but will not be butthurt if you don't take to them. They are totally a deep track band, which is why I love them. They have at least 6 albums where I only dislike one song (maybe two). The hits are great but were ran into the ground. Watching this documentary I realized I could listen to "Jeremy" again without being sick of it.

They played that song into the ground.

Puscifer is a grab bag. It's a mix of chunky, electronic-ish, country, and bizarre soundscapes. If it wasn't cohesive, I'd considered it pre-recorded performance art.
