a highly interesting and challenging (yet rewarding) job and I'm lucky I've got the opportunity to have a job that I actually love. I don't think many people can say this.
just to make things more clear - I'm not a fan of procrastination and usually I'm very productive while at work. but trust me, past weeks/months were CRAZY, hence I'm glad I could have a day or two when I can just sit back and do fuck all.

I like their melodic hooks and crystal clear Siouxie's vocals. very catchy music for "feel good" times.
I'm not fond of all of their output, though I like most of it.

Sorry man, I am not familiar with DragonBall Z, I'm too old for that shit.

- Is this reasoning sound? If not, tell me why.

Which ones do you consider "fucking miserable"?
I mean, it would be interesting to watch what would become of Joy Divison if Ian Curtis wouldn't have died, and how their sound would evolve. I'd say, "Closer" was just the beginning where their sound started to shape into really interesting territories and I guess following albums would be really mindblowing. New Order then continued the story in kind of a shit way.

Do you really consider IKEA as fancy? Where do you live, in a forest shack?
IKEA is cheap low-quality stuff that tends to break down/wear down pretty fast. Not that I'm bitching, most of my furniture at home is IKEA, but just because it's cheap and I don't care about furniture much.

- What happens if the target is less than 1.11 meters?
- Can you make me this gun?

Thanks.
