Around the same time I was heavily into the BBS scene playing L.O.R.D/Tradewars/etc I was also a stupid druggy teenager fond of a hit of acid every once and a while which we called "fry" at the time. Anyway I have no idea if the newer, younger, hipper version still calls it that but that's how I got my nick anyway.
Around thirteen years later it still sticks.
also oregon trail and LORD while tripping are fucking intense, if i remember correctly

Went to the Ministry show last night. Soundman must have been off his face, because there was a horrible dirty bottom sound. We left in the middle of the encores because it was just too much fucking dirty reverb on the low end. I could feel my hair vibrating.
I have the worst fucking case of tinnitus this morning. I hate this. Feels like someone shoved a large goose-down pillow into my skull.
I saw mogwai in a smaller venue for a longer set and didn't feel this bad.

I called them about why they charged me for a faulty iPod shuffle i had already sent back. Apparently UPS hadn't notified them. I expected hassle and pain. Aargh Apple. Never buying from you bitches again, why etc etc.
Instead the kind lady on the phone said she'll check with UPS and rang the next day (it was late when i rang the day earlier) and apologized and told me refund is on the way. I was amazed how well they handled that.
I still don't want to buy anything from them again until they open up their DRM though >:(

The brief was to create a new poster for a film, with all the stuff that’s involved in posters: the logos, the credits text, a tagline and of course the logo. So it was a composition exercise, but at the same time we also had to create a repainting of an existing photograph of someone, so I decided to focus on that aspect of the thing and I think I came out pretty good, I used one of Madonnas old album covers, back in the day when she was young and sexy.
Yeah, just thought I’d share. :p
