I just want to get out of Georgia. We were thinking about moving closer to Atlanta but I think we'd be going in the wrong direction. I think I'd like Chattanooga more.
We were just in Chattanooga on Sunday. It's pretty, but it's also pretty dead.
My wife just found out that Georgia Tech offers cheap-ish housing for students with families, so Atlanta might actually be happening soon, like within the year maybe.
Maybe I can finally play with some people who aren't scared of volume and fuzz and a Bass VI.

I just picked up a PJ bass in BST with no strings, and the holes where the strings go are nowhere near big enough for what I know I need. What should I use to widen them so that I can tune to a full octave below ridiculous?
I just did this to that fackenfooker I got. Just select a drill bit that is slightly larger than the string, and smaller than the whatchamacallit, remove the bridge, and drill out the hole.

I live in a big Polish neighborhood. I love being able to walk 3 minutes and being able to purchase legit Polish sausage from a meat market called Lewandowski's Market.
I got into grad school in Brooklyn for Exercise Science. I'm moving to Brooklyn toward the end of the summer.
I'm pretty fucking excited about that.
Congrats dude! I would recommend finding a phd program as well. Fuck this real world nonsense.
No PhD for me. Once I get my MS, I'm gonna get my Performance Enhancement Specialist certification (not that kind of performance enhancement. and no, not THAT kind either.) and shoot for working in the NBA as an Athletic Trainer.
I work with a ton of people based out of NYC (go figure) and it's always astonishing to me how much they pay in rent and things. Fucking amazing city though.
Rent can get pretty out of hand here, especially because there are a lot of people that have a shit ton of money and are willing to throw it around. But it is a city of millions, so there are a lot of stories that are not told and most people hear the same stuff over and over again. So not everything is thousands of dollars for a micro apartment. Plus there are so many bonus things you get from just being here. Shows nearly every day, museums, weird events and just crazy shit in general. I got to see Om in an Egyptian temple. Crazy shit.
Local mostly-grindcore fest today, including Lycanthropy and Cryptic Void. I'm making tacos for 8 bands, and I'm making more beans than I've ever made at once before. It's like getting pepper-gas-sprayed in my apartment at the moment. Pretty sure the tacos will be good. Or they can do police-gas training here.

That sounds like an awesome, fancy pants job that would make the real world much less like the shit sandwich it usually is. Academia is such a sheltered community - I really wish I had been more selective about my education and been a professor/researcher, aka - stoney dude who lectures, occasionally publishes, and has strange ideas about things.
