Theres a couple spots that haven't completely healed up yet, so I still have tegaderm over that, but most of it is out to the open. Lotion definitely helps with keeping the skin more flexible though.

Not scratching is turning out the be the biggest challenge so far lol

Aquaphor or A&D will work better than lotion.

Today I found out that a recording I played records incorrectly on was nominated for a Juno award. (in Amurrican terms, it's like a socialist Grammy)
I also got the TRP RRLs I ordered in the mail after blizzard delay and damn they're purty.

Congrats, that is really cool and creative. Interesting all the thing you have going on in the video. Even a "score" if that is what you call it.

The music goes from like neo classical to almost ancient Chinese, very cool.

Wow, then it goes into the Judas Priest March at the end.

definitely!

my orchestra prof had one of her former students come in who ended up as some kind of prodigy in juliard who had a strad. being a first string i was allowed to fiddle it shortly but its subtle nuances that made it great were lost on my 13 y/o self :\

fire up that electric though and my eyes are bulging out my head

Today I turn 29. I had a lengthy conversation with my older brother (12 years older) about turning 30, and he explained to me how turning 30 was the only birthday that kind of bothered him. I was kinda bummed out thinking about it, but I have 365 days before 30... AND I received the newest addition to my jersey collection, an original 1978-79 Bianchi Faema team jersey in beautiful condition.

Cool jersey.

I'm about to be 31, and while actually turning 30 last year felt all weird and sad, 30 has actually been the best year I can remember. So get excited. Happy bday.

Turning 30 was no big deal for me, just another day and another year. The last couple years have been really good to me though so I'm pretty optimistic about getting older.

43 here. You are only as old as you act. Happy Birthday btw - don't worry about the whole age thing. Age is just a number, and the first 50 years are for learning. The last 50 are for living.

Today, I did something that I swore that I would never ever do again. I switched back to an iPhone. Pretty diehard Android user, but grew really tired of the BS so I found a nice Space Grey 32GB iPhone 5S on Swappa and activated it today. Kind of a big change, but since I have a Mac already, and was really tired of the size of my Note 3, this was a good and mostly inexpensive venture back to the world of Siri and a mostly locked down OS.

I made the switch back to iPhone back in December when I also switched from a Lenovo laptop to an iMac. I miss some of the extra freedom that comes with Android, as well as some apps I had really gotten use to, but it's just been so much more reliable on a day to day basis.

My custom hairnet tallbike is getting closer to being a reality, looks like it might even sport an aluminum frame.
