The Saturday 6-Pack

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?

Rachel Goswell for sure. She's a member of one of my favourite bands and super hot.

What would you do on this date?

Discuss Slowdive in immense detail. Anything else would be a huge plus.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

This was recent actually. I came home from work and I had left my keys inside. We have a copy of the back door key stick away in the hole of a brick in the back yard so I went to look for that. It was dark, my phone was pretty much useless as a light resource. So I just stuck my finger into as many brick holes as possible. Snails, spiders, slime and grassy mess. No fun at all. Found it eventually though.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

I honestly don't have one. I'd probably have to go with getting out of overdraft, but I was given the money to do so. Man, I have done nothing of note this year.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

The new Beck album.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

That I have friends to talk to in person and online.

Edit: Just read #3 properly. Will add my pleasant experience soon.

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?

George Harrison, circa mid-1970s. He was an especially bright man, soft-spoken, very kind. I'd love just to sit down and hear him talk about life and what he thought of it, or just to hear him tell jokes or stories about his childhood. I'd just want the incomparable privilege of hearing him speak.

What would you do on this date?

(See above.) Is there an afterlife? Because I'm thinking this could happen in some other dimension and that makes me happy.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Making love with my sweetheart is definitely at the top of the list, but on the side of modesty, I'll describe the second-best most pleasant sensory experience I've ever had:

Spoiler for The famed "Hamre House":

As for the most unpleasant sensory experience, I'd say every day is an unpleasant sensory experience when I'm around too many people, too much noise, too much of this or that - I much prefer my solitude, peace and quiet.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

Well, this year I finally got health insurance and full-time status at work, which are two things I'd been longing for.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

When our car died. RIP 'Laura Ingalls', you crybaby bitch.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

Tomorrow's my Friday.

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?[/B]

What would you do on this date?

Amber Heard. I'd get her buzzed and then on her knees and elbows and do all sorts of stuff to her with my hands and mouth.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Aside from sex, the smell of a tube amplifier all warmed up and ready to rock.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

I'm still here.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

What's going on with the company I work for.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

My family and friends.

I'll just be a total creep about it- I have been all over Kathleen Hannah lately.

What would you do on this date?
Suck her left one. And whatever she wants.

But first, maybe prepare her a picnic during which we'd talk about whatever. I haven't seen many interviews with her so all I know about her is what I've heard in her totally rad songs.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Spoiler for stuff:

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?
Cut back on the drinking. A lot. Consequently, I got a new job that I like. Working with people I relate to. Not sexist, homophobic, racist, sportsjockbros. I think workin in that environment for so long might have given me brain damage.

Oh, and I just found out that in the three days I've worked at the new job we got two 5-star reviews on yelp, possibly over things I prepared. They had me working breakfast pretty much all day and that's what the reviews were for!

Biggest letdown of the year so far?
Haven't really had any. Aside from not getting that job at the restaurant in my old job's neighborhood. But I kinda dodged a bullet with that, I'd have been getting home at like 1:30 in the morning.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?
My dog, Corona. No matter where I'm at mentally she's always with me, by my side or resting in my lap, assuring me that I am loved.

You know, putting it out there online where you put your spare key probably isn't the best idea.

**Goofle** · 11-22-2014, 07:21 AM

It's not like I've told everyone where I live or anything.

No, only your postal code.

WWWP · 11-22-2014, 06:58 PM

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?

David Sedaris

What would you do on this date?

Eat Thai food and talk **** about everyone and everything.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Pleasant: The scent and texture of the air just before it snows.

Unpleasant: The sound of people crying.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

Developing a stronger will and sense of dignity in regard to personal relationships and boundaries.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

Learning that someone I thought I loved was in fact unworthy of any efforts.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

Good weed and a steadily increasing fan base.

**Frownland** · 11-27-2014, 06:07 PM

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?

I'd love to hang out with John Cage.

What would you do on this date?

I'd pick his brain about music, life, mushrooms, philosophy. See where it goes. Play him in a game of chess since neither of us are very good.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Pleasant: jamming with my friend after a long break, gushing with happiness.
Unpleasant: Having to take a **** really bad on my drive down to SD and it took us 20 minutes to find a place with a bathroom.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

My band put out one of our best albums.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

I really thought my sister would like Of Montreal, but she didn't. Maybe it'll grow on her.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

Family, my dogs, music, friends.

Freebase Dali · 11-27-2014, 07:19 PM

An artist of any kind with whom you would have a romantic, intellectual, or just friendly date?

Beethoven, by far.

What would you do on this date?

Repeat my questions over and over.

Most pleasant and unpleasant sensory (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell) experiences you've ever had?

Shitting. This covers both categories.

Biggest accomplishment of the year so far?

Got another big raise (7k more) at year 2.

Biggest letdown of the year so far?

Visited my sister in prison recently. I realized that she has no soul and is just existing as a manipulative entity, there to get what she wants. She was like that before prison 16 years ago. Now, she has perfected it. When I look at her, I don't really see a person anymore. I see an opportunist.

What are you most thankful for right this moment?

Oxygen.

Making love with my sweetheart is definitely at the top of the list, but on the side of modesty, I'll describe the second-best most pleasant sensory experience I've ever had: Spoiler for The famed "Hamre House": In the town I grew up in, there's an incredible tourist attraction with a bunch of cabins, places of businesses, and large rooms full of historic items from a pioneer's everyday life. Within this tiny village is a large Victorian house (I actually met the woman who lived there when she was a little girl - she's like 90 years old now and her hands are all fucked up from polio) that's completely furnished with antiques from that time period. I'd visited many times during my life there, and always felt at home. Everything within the house is absolutely original, including the rugs, wallpaper, staircase, closets - even the bathroom fixtures are still intact. This house is completely marvelous. There are even dishes on the kitchen table, assorted creature comforts in the parlor room, personal effects on the dressers in the bedrooms, clothing in the closets, hand-embroidered towels in the kitchen.... it's really such an outstanding experience. As for the most unpleasant sensory experience, I'd say every day is an unpleasant sensory experience when I'm around too many people, too much noise, too much of this or that - I much prefer my solitude, peace and quiet.

And now I can't find the guy who sold it to me . -Touch: I have a strange aversion to suede-like textures. I had to pull my landlords laundry out of the dryer and he had a suede coat that just made me flip my lid. +Taste: This is a really tough one. I had an excellent Pinot the other night but I'm gonna hafta hand it to Beachside Cafe, I've yet to have a better cup of coffee than theirs. -Taste: Indigestion after having too many jaggerbombs. +Sound: The opening riff to "Sun Medallion" by King Tuff makes me feel stoned when I'm straight sober -Sound: I tried to listen to Merzbow again. Nope. +Smell: Total cliche but the smell of rain at the beach, early in the morning... -Smell: Someone forgot to throw out an old container of crab salad at work last weekend.
