I was today years old when I learned that the phrase "pulling out all the stops" comes from organ music of all things. Because stops are the name for the plugs that restrict air from flowing through the pipes while playing the organ. By restricting are two different pipes you can change how the music sounds. So by pulling out all the stops the wind is allowed to blow through the pipes unrestricted.

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm not really into the intricacies of how music is made, but I find his videos to be entertaining and informative. Plus you can just feel his passion for music, especially when he goes into rant mode. And it's less angry, fanboy rant and more exasperation at its worst
 
Sunday night here, hearing love songs, thinking about a crush which coincidentally is on this site, but I will never confess for her/him because it is absolutely impractical, anyway is a interesting night. :)

Love Song.

 
My love songs were ones like "Baby Don't Go" (Fabolous) and "So Sick" (Ne-Yo)

Also kept quiet around my crush because I was content with our friendship and I didn't want to ruin it by saying something stupid

Meanwhile everyone around us was like "are you two dating?" on account of how we spent basically all our free time in school together
 
Ready for 2021
With my ass clenched tight
New year hopefully new shit
Cause if its same shit

Anyone know if there's a CD of Quna from phantasy star online 2? Because these are kick ass



 
I just realized cigarette girl is technically a cancer waitress. :V
 
That moment where, while grocery shopping the day after going without sleep for over 30 hours, you check your shopping list on your phone, but instead find that said list has been replaced by the partial outlines of three heavily contradictory omakes for the same quest, one of which consistently refers to two of the characters using the wrong gender pronouns.

Rereading Calvin and Hobbes, and it strikes me how topical the comic strips can be even today. And with my increased life experience, I can relate and understand even more today.

Read a compilation of Calvin and Hobbes once. What stood out for me was just how hated Calvin was. Everyone in his life seems to hate him.
 
Also probably on the spectrum. ADHD or Aspergers. Nowadays schools and adults try and be more accepting. Not so much back then.
