All I remember from their set last year was they had a ton of insane beat drops, like at 5:27 here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-oqLBnJ3vQ[/video]]Infected Mushroom - I'm the Supervisor - YouTube
Oddly enough they're coming to Seattle on Friday, which I found out randomly by looking up this song to link

Sorry for the late response. I saw this the other day and didn't have time to respond. I really don't now either, but I'm tired of working! :H

Cities of the Future was INSANE to see in person at Burning Man. Great song.
Can't Stop is my current fav. IM song. Here is a list of what I have marked as Favorites in Slacker:
Becoming Insane
Bombat
Disco Mushroom
Eat it Raw
Herbert the Pervert
Mush Mushi
None of This is Real
Psycho
Return of the Shadows
Symphonatic
Tasty Mushroom

I actually had no idea that they were going to be at Burning Man this year until about 3 weeks out. I stumbled across the information completely by accident. Damn good thing too, because I never would have known otherwise!

Ah, so it was you with the Life Coach. I was thinking about that earlier today. I was thinking I might need one of those. I'm having a hard time moving forward lately. There's just no drive to do so. Things are rather shitty at the moment.

And I can vouch for hemp tasting like shit. I bought hemp oil once to use in my smoothies and it rendered them completely unpalatable.

Oh man. I really wish Lo0p would've answered this. There is so much to do, it's unbelievable. There is TONS of artwork EVERYWHERE. So many camps have themes with fun things to do. There are free bars everywhere, there is music everywhere. There are not that many big name bands that play though. But music is constant on the playa, all different kinds. There is an activity book that you get when you get there, and there is something happening literally every hour of every day. Infected Mushroom went on stage at 1:30 in the morning. I think the last band went on at 5am (but we were off doing something else by that time). We didn't even DO anything that was in the book and we were still always doing SOMEthing. Things just HAPPEN to you out there. Next time I think it would be good to do some more planning though. Pick some things to see and do, and just let it all happen the rest of the time.

Now I'm getting all nostalgic. :h

I'm also wondering about my sweet tooth. I don't know if I've opened the floodgates and I'm now cursed to a life of craving chocolate, or it's a result of cutting back on carbs. :new:

Check out Niacinamide for sugar cravings. I came across it awhile back when I went through a phase of binge eating (ugh, that was horrible!). It is actually supposed to be beneficial for helping to curve AL cravings, but there was one thing online somewhere when I searched way back when that said it's helpful for sugar cravings too. I wish I could remember how much, a few thousands mgs if I recall. I would take 5000 or 6000mg when I got home from work, because the cravings would only hit me in the evening. It doesn't instantly remove the craving, but it definitely made it easier to turn down the sweets.
I picked some up again when I got back from Burning Man actually. I went through a phase of horrible sugar cravings for a couple of weeks after I got back (it was all of the damn cookies that Lo0p made me eat out there!!). For some reason, HDB renders me immune to food's siren song. When I titrated back up again recently, it lost all appeal for me. Apparently I'm the only person that this happens for though.

Humour/humor: You are pants-shittingly funny. There aren't many people who make me laugh, but you regularly do.

I can't begin to tell you how hard it was for me to be nice to you then. Being nice to someone when I'm not even trying to get into their knickers is anathema to me. I guess that means you're going to have to put out for me now Petey.

There really aren't words to describe it. I can show you some pictures but even they don't really do it justice. You just have to go.

I know one thing for sure. If I knew you in real life I'd drag you out of your rat hole and we'd be friends.

Pete, you are so fun and funny! I see that you are pants-shittingly funny to Brenda. I don't shit my pants for anyone, but you are very high up there on my fun list!!! You care and you give and you participate. :l

My AA sponsor (who happens to be a nun, just to make this even more funny) gave me an affirmation assignment. She had 4 things for me to say - in the mirror while smiling at myself - morning and evening every day. She made me promise to do it. (and I HATED the idea of a sponsor because I didn't want ANYONE telling me what to do!!) I'm not even Catholic, but I had a really hard time with NOT doing something that I promised a nun I would do. I guess I imagined being in hell burning up with all my Catholic friends or something. Anyway....I said those things to myself (out loud even!) in the mirror two times a day.

funny thing happened....I started to believe it.

SP, there are tons of good things about you. You're kind, super funny, and you have big eyes with long lashes. The ladies adore you. Just tell the life coach what all you're friends said about you...in your online alcohol recovery forum. :H I'll think of the perfect song once again for you!

I'm doing a fabulous job of taking a break, aren't I? Oh, well. We can count on me to be consistent about being inconsistent.

I was thinking maybe I should delete the above post. I then realized I commited to myself and ya'll that I wouldn't do that anymore. I kind of want to put a foot in my mouth (is that the correct expression?) I mean in regard to the ladies adoring you. I know you've mentioned on here that you wanted to date...and I assumed you weren't because you are introspective and shy. That they really do adore you. Maybe that wasn't the right assumption (shall I put another foot in my mouth now?) I'm running out of them. I've found dating to be a disaster for me at this point. It's just too early. I need to focus on myself right now.

I thought of a perfect song for you. This song is regarding how you should feel about yourself. Oh, and you are witty and smart! I didn't say that.

Thanks to everyone that responded. She's having me write down my negative thoughts that come up and write a positive thought below it. I think that'll help with my insecurities, which I believe are preventing me from having stronger relationships with people.

Is - sorry to hear you're not doing too good ATM. I'd say check one out, it couldn't hurt. I've left a couple appointments feeling like a million bucks, which lasted for a good solid week. In the meantime, check out the mau5head live in action to that song you like

DG, good call on avoiding eternal hellfire.

Red, I was playing tennis with a chick last week and that song randomly popped into my head in the middle of it. I stopped short of singing it though.

Pete,
You are just finding your way. I am the same way because I hid behind the alcohol.
You are funny but don't let her (B) lead you astray!

The weekend is upon us!

And Pete, why don't my quotes work right?
