Ton of good records in there. I wish there was another Draft record!

Sweet print, love Los Straitjackets!

Was gonna say the same thing. I remember him posting pics when they were first born.

I got this in the mail yesterday, and while the record sounds great, the jacket has awful ring wear. Kind of strange.

What does this even do, though? I doubt the USPS employee sees a package, says to himself "I'm gonna smash this to shit", but then spots a "fragile" sticker at the last moment and decides otherwise. If it isn't being done on purpose, it's accidental, in which case, if a package is going to get fucked up, I'd say it's going to happen regardless of what you scribble on it.

I never received a shipping notice and received my record a few days ago. I usually wait 2 or 3 weeks before I become remotely concerned (barring a preorder). Paypal gives you 45 days if you need to take action, so there really isn't too much to worry about. They're being shipped from Wisconsin, it's going to take a few days to reach Southern California.

Beer and OJ.

I did, the one (and only) time I accidentally purchased an extra scratch with donuts. Go figure...

So. Many. Drunk. People.

I didn't buy a grab bag, but both Young Livers albums are pretty good!

I haven't seen those bottom 3 before, always loved those!

Fat did it for a while, and I really enjoyed it. Their current system of e-mailing time-sensitive downloads is a nightmare for me, though!

Is there a certain significance in stopping at 10? I've always enjoyed their music, though I don't know enough about them to know if they had a lineup change or something after that album.

Not sure I'd put much faith in that kind of logic...

Hope I get this within the week!

Your priority shouldn't be quick results, it should be lasting results. Any changes you make should be simple enough that you can keep them up indefinitely. I lost ~80lbs (250->165) a few years ago, and have kept it off with very little "effort", I've just changed the way that I approach different situations and activities in life. Eating healthy may suck at first, especially when you've got other options out at a restaurant, but it beats the shit out of being fat. Things that worked for me: Cardio - tons of it. Started almost exclusively with cardio, then began more weight training once I was comfortable with where I stood as far as weight loss went. Eating healthier - so much easier than I ever would've expected. I grew up as picky as could be, and would eat a cheeseburger for any meal, no matter where I was. Nowadays, I won't even eat beef! I tried to substitute as many foods as I could, rather than just eliminating them altogether. Baked over fried, light meat over dark meat, whole grains over white starches, etc. A bunch of small changes add up rather quickly. Portion control - one of the easiest and most effective changes I made was portioning out my meals and snacks in particular. A few years ago, I could've easily killed an entire box of Wheat Thins in a sitting, and still manage to eat dinner just fine. Now, I read labels religiously, and have really strived to keep an eye on not only what I'm putting into my body, but also how much of it. People tend to overestimate portion size, and underestimate their calorie intake, so I went out of my way to make sure I wasn't. Things that didn't work for me: "Cheat days" - I think a lot of people abuse such days in their diet, and end up bingeing on junk food, erasing their week's worth of progress. Diet programs - I couldn't find a single plan that I could really buy into. I found that making my own small changes was much simpler and more effective, though if you have a hard time with self control and holding yourself accountable, perhaps a simple program or regimen may be beneficial. Supplements - I just never saw the need. Nothing ever convinced me of its legitimacy as far as weight loss supplements go, and I managed just fine without any. In regards to the college talk above, contrary to what some others have said, I personally found it MUCH easier to eat healthy and be active when I moved out of my parent's place and on my own. If I know something is shit for me, and I shouldn't be eating it, I won't buy it. Simple as that. It's much easier to say "no" to a box of Oreos at the grocery store than it is when they're staring you down from the pantry. My school also had a number of healthy options to choose from, so there were salad bars and wrap stands, etc. that helped me get by when I was living on campus and had limited food prep/storage space. Once I got my own place, and had a full fridge, it became a cake walk. Fresh produce can get expensive, but I found a local food club type thing that'll give me 60lbs of assorted vegetables every week for a flat $10 donation. It's not bad or expired or anything, it's just surplus, and it's fucking awesome. There's similar sorts of organizations all over the place, just have to keep your eyes peeled. It's late, so sorry if none of that made sense.

Does this mean the new LP isn't going to be any different than the one already available?

They're thin wires - I run them along the back of the long horizontal panel on the expedit, and the outlet is behind my CD towers to the right, so that blocks the plugs from view whether I like it or not (I do!).

I used the "DIODER" ones IKEA sells. They seemed the easiest to install, and I can't solder to save my life. I haven't looked at them from under, as the highest ones are about 2 feet off the ground.

Just added LEDs to my main Expedit. Gonna add some for the 7"s later in the week.

There's a girl who works at the local Buffalo Wild Wings who everybody says looks identical to Taylor Swift. I don't really think so, but every time I'm there, people stop her and take pictures with her (lol), so apparently I'm the weird one who doesn't see it.

I feel like my stuff would be way too low to the ground sitting on an Expedit that's just 1 "cube" high.

Why would they decide to go on tour without a drummer in the first place?

Big sports fan (though living in AZ my whole life, it certainly hasn't always been easy...). Not sure what it is about the name, just doesn't sound right to me is all. Not trying to knock them or anything.
