      i’m a java programmer.
      my work is a ten minute bike ride away from where i live. still i usually end up being late at work in the morning.
      i have a very hard deadline next week, so no time to be bored these days. unfortunately.

      and i never said i thought i was cooler than ice cream, so there’s no story here.

      well mr. java programmer…I have some questions
      Why did my java disappear off my pc? How does that happen after a few years of haing it with regular updates?
      I was in the middle of a conversation and it just decided to no longer exist on my pc so I had to redownload it.
      Now if you can provide me with a cool answer…I will then think you are cooler than ice cream :P

    • #41629

      i don’t want to be cooler than ice cream.

      i’m a java programmer. this has absolutely nothing to do with the installation of java on your pc. who cares about that anyway? call the helpdesk or something.

      i’m not really a fruit person. i’m more a vegetable man.

      there seems to be something wrong with fruit these days. a lot of it is sour. me not like.

      my favourite fruits are sweet, and don’t require too much effort to eat. i’m lazy like that. i’m not a big fan of fruit, so they have to make it as easy as possible for me to eat it, otherwise i won’t.
      most recently, i have been enjoying bananas, cherries, mango and strawberries. (i also had pineapple, but i can’t say i enjoyed it enough to list it in an answer to the question what my favourite fruit is.)

      that’s good.

      now i suppose since i’m here i will make up some questions assuming you are bored.

      if you could travel back through time to any place or date where would you go if anywhere?

      whats the most embarrassing album you have bought? or the cheesiest song you like to listen to?

      whats the story of this Herbert you mention in the first post in this thread?

      and do you collect any other things besides Pumpkins?

      thanks a lot for all your questions.

      i’d like to travel back to a nice time and a nice place (no war, nice area, good living conditions, …), where i can use knowledge of the present to make big fortune in the past (lottery numbers, buy apple or microsoft, …).
      or go back to chicago in the late 80s and try to collect everything pumpkins that is so hard to find these days, as it becomes available. real-time collecting.
      (i know this sounds greedy, but these are my first time travel related fantasies, so why not be honest?)

      most embarrassing album: no idea. can’t think of any right now. it’s not impossible that i don’t have any album that i find embarrassing.
      if i can think of one, i’ll let you know.

      cheesiest song: the alan parsons project – old and wise.
      my dad is to blame, as he used to listen to this when i was young.

      herbert: good question. i was wondering this myself when i read this thread. i can’t remember who he is. not at all.
      herbert, if you read this, please help out!

      yes, there are other bands i collect. not as freakily as the pumpkins, but still. the biggest collections (next to sp) are probably david bowie and pixies.
      but if i like a band a certain way, i’ll always start collecting their releases. i guess this is a hobby. i really enjoy deciding what releases i need, and then tracking them down.
      i think i have almost all commercial albums and singles of say, arcade fire. but they only have two albums, so that collection isn’t really that big (about 10 cds and 10 vinyls, i guess).
      and like that, there are way more bands. for some, i don’t even have all the albums yet, for others, i’m completing my collection with the last couple of singles or even compilation cds with a track that isn’t available anywhere else. for some bands i only aim for the studio albums, for others i go deeper and try to get all b-sides and whatnot.
      not sure how many bands i’ve done this for. sometimes i start on a band and then lose interest and stop. which is better for the wallet, of course.
      other bands i can think of right now, where i tried to complete a bit of a collection instead of just buying the one or two albums i’d normally buy: evil superstars, deus, the breeders, grandaddy, nirvana, leftfield, massive attack, the chemical brothers, the beatles, bob dylan, nick drake, elliott smith, channel zero, yeah yeah yeahs, the white stripes, queens of the stone age, bon iver, dinosaur jr, sonic youth, soulwax, air. and there’s more.

    • #41642

      still very bored. help please.
      do you want to discuss my last post?
      do you have anything else to ask?

      what are everyone’s answers to above questions?

    • #41643

      blueczarina
      Spectator

      haha, i forgot about this. here are my answers. i will try to think of more questions too. :)

      if i could travel back through time i would also go for selfish gathering of goods reasons. i too would make a stop in the late 80’s early 90’s and gather some Pumpkins and Nirvana. then i would visit the late Victorian era, Edwardian era, and the 1920’s because i like a lot of stuff from back then- the clothes, art nouveau, art deco, the books, furniture, jewelry, etc. and i would also go back to the 1960’s for similar reasons. i like the toys from back then. then after i got my pile of stuff i would bring it back home.

      the cheesiest stuff i like music wise- i always liked Ace of Base when i was a kid. i liked me some shit Euro pop growing up. i can’t blame it on any relatives though.

      i don’t know much about this Herbert either, but i assume he is a banana.

      and i collect lots of stuff besides a bit of pumpkins although i don’t totally collect them anymore. i decided i like saving money more. i have collected a few other bands though mostly because i like them and the album art and what not. they aren’t complete collections though. i have some Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand (i like the Soviet style art), and more recently HIM. they have some awesome album art. i also collect posters in general especially gig posters and promo posters. i just like poster art. that’s one of the reason why i would take a time machine back to the last turn of the century. and because i just kind of like graphics i also collect ads and nifty product packaging- candy boxes, unique pop bottles, whatever. and i also collect toys. and mostly i just collect things i find unique or strange. i always have since i was a kid.

      Bram, we don’t hear anything about your London (or English, at least, if I remember well) girlfriend anymore. What’s the news about her? If you want to share…

      And what’s the love for dEUS?

    • #41645

      ace of base rules. 8)

      everything is fine with my girlfriend. she’s doing a traineeship at the eu, and she just got herself a new traineeship at a company in brussels. this one might end up in a proper job.

      love of deus: i love them, but i lost interest in their more recent work.
      worst case scenario, in a bar under the sea, the ideal crash: awesome. three absolute classics, in my opinion.
      pocket revolution: has some good stuff, but also some eh…
      vantage point: they’ve lost me.

      i would be bored at work as well except i have a week off, a paid week off. 8) read it and weep at your keyboard.

      i’m so glad too. my work was stressing my ass. i’ve practically lived there for the last few weeks.

      how about this though.

      let’s say your house is on fire and its all going to burn. your own ass aside, what would you save if you had a few extra minutes to save a few items.

      http://theburninghouse.com/

      second scenario:

      let’s say your Smashing Pumpkin collection was about to go up in flames, but you had a couple seconds to grab a few things. what would you save?

      I have paid leave at the moment too :)

      that’s so cute that one guy would save the teddy bear his daughter made – awwwww!

      some of those people have weird stuff they’d save – a scarf, a flag, books – can all be replaced easily

      I’d grab my bag which has my passport and phone in it. It depends how much time there was if I was to save anything else, including SP items. I have a couple of scrapbooks I’d save if there was time, and maybe my computer back-up disk which has hundreds of photos and mp3s on it.

      Also – some advice from people I know affected by the Christchurch earthquake – this applies to any disaster – MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE CHARGED AT ALL TIMES. Yep.
