Strangelove Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well, I just ordered my piercing tools. Ive been thinking about repiercing my nose for a long time and I also wanted to always do one of my ears, the cartilage part. I didnt really want to do it because Im 26 and I feel like im too old to have shit on my face and ears, but I figure if I dont do it, im just letting other people fuck with my head. Our generation might be the first to have facial piercings and having it be the norm into old age. God knows Generation X pussied out and became businessmen instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Where on your nose do you want to repierce? I have an orbital, rook and tragus piercings and I'm 30. I guess most people don't even notice them, and when they do I've only had +ve comments. Though I guess most people would be too polite to say I look awful?! I guess it helps I have a friendly face so even with them in I don't look threatening, even when I used to have a skinhead! I definitely think ear piercings are less attention grabbing than facial piercings though. I used to have a labret piercing but had to take it out as it was rubbing on my gum, and while I loved it at the time I do think I would feel more self-conscious if i had it in now. What's the rectangular thing in the middle that looks a bit like the top of a hammer? Have you ever pierced yourself before? I have, and it was fairly hair-raising! I've been debating with myself for a looong time if I should pierce my nipples myself or get it done professionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Im just going to get a nostril piercing and get two hoops on my right ear. On the top. Its just the job thing. Most jobs wont let you have piercings or a lot of facial hair, two things i actually like to do myself. And the thing in the middle is a needle pusher. Ive pierced myself a lot of times and pushing the needle in is by far the most difficult part for me. To be honest, I sweat bullets every time I do it. I havent gotten used to it. It doesnt even hurt much, its just scary for me for some reason. This is also going to be my first time doing the cartilage though, but I figure if people in the jungles of Africa can do it with shards of metal they sharpened from the ground, so can i.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I'm one of those who's pussied out. I used to have an eyebrow stud but took it out when was trying to get an internship sophomore year of college so I could look "respectable", and I have a tattoo but I specifically got it on my right shoulder blade so it would be covered unless I wasn't wearing a shirt. *Edit* - It doesnt even hurt much, its just scary for me for some reason. That's your body telling you it's a bad idea to ram bits of metal through it. Edited February 8, 2012 by TheMightyEthan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Because the EX-29 headphones won't be available here until April, and I needed something to protect my ears while playing drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbassman39 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't have PS+, so today I bought Shank 2 and Simpsons arcade on my Playstation. Rumor has it, I'm a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Basically it's a loupe. I plan on looking at slides with it since I'm like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 slides you'll make yourself? What sort of things are you interested in looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Slides as in E-6 transparencies, not slides of like insect wings or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 ah, OK. How does that work with the light shining on the front of the slide? I only ever shot a couple of rolls of slide film, but it needs to be illuminated from behind doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 It does, I don't plan on using the light on the side. That's more for when I'm being weird and looking at the end of a pencil or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work at a shop that sold sterling silver flatware. Long story short, until silver went up so high that it was worth scrapping things en masse, I had very little work to do some days. My boss (the owner) was deathly ill for a time before passing on (don't chain smoke and drink like a fish, btw) and so I would be there all by myself with no customers and no orders coming in. I used to spend hours with the super high magnification jeweler's loupe looking at stuff up close: markings on silver, bits of dirt, crumbs from my lunch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 6 albums played live, all the way through, for £15? YES PLEASE. I'm hoping that 'All regions' wasn't a lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorrrr Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 This is supposedly rather good, and so I have brought it Paddy Considine had a hand in writing Dead Man Shoes with Shane Meadows, for those who know of that. Shane Meadows stuff isn't huge outside the UK but yeah, I'm excited to watch this. Trailer for the intrigued: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 People have been raving about Olivia Colman in it. I haven't seen this but I think she is great and would be a draw for me to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorrrr Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's pretty cheap considering it only came out last week, I believe. £10 in HMV I'll let you know if I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 That cover made me expect something entirely different, and thus I was incredibly disappointed by the preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorrrr Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah I have absolutely no idea why it's called Tyrannosaur.. I presume it might become clear later. I'm hoping the main character is in fact a dinosaur in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I couldn't tell you why but it looks more like a book cover than a DVD cover to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorrrr Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's very pretty cover art, indeed. I'm a sucker for good cover art. I mean I don't buy something just because I like the cover but if it's also got it, then that's an awesome bonus. As it is I really like that cover.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I agree, I thought it was a book at first until I saw that you'd posed a preview for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I hate buying digital downloads but it was $5 and included FLAC files. There's a 15% off sale at Rifftrax and decided to splurge And finally, a masterpiece of filmmaking ... Really, the preview says it all: I have to admit that I strangely found the dark haired teacher with the glasses to be oddly attractive ...
