The fact that i got accepted into boston university and new york university for graduate school kinda makes me realize i shouldve applied myself more when i was looking for undergrad but at least i dont have as many loans and i still met cool professors ^-^

#not to be an elitist but after spending time in my shitty pwi racist undergrad uni i just like #i need some prestige for once #so im glad they accepted me like thats cool #grad skool is expensive tho 🥲 #wanted to celebrate my accomplishments tho because i rarely do that #like yea i actually am good enough for nyu and bu like wtf #being at this lame ass school has warped my sense of intelligence yknow #all the courses have been fucking easy #and i couldnt tell if it was because i was too smart or if i was regressing lol #anyway #:)

famous guitar player explaining their gear: all this other stuff is great but the true root of my sound is this pedal that my father threw at my head the day he abandoned my family. It was only made for four months back in 1993 in an old barn in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The barn burned down after the guy who made it went insane and murdered his family and everything that survived the fire was confiscated as evidence. I've never seen another pedal like it and nothing else on the planet sounds like it. I think it retailed for $12 new but nobody bought it.

listing one reverb.com: incredibly rare handmade murderbarn distortiondrivolo pedal, featured by artist who got one from his father when he abandoned his family, one of only nineteen ever made! $799.99

listing two on reverb.com: i had to hunt down this pedal after I threw my old one at my kid's head. sounds great but I never use it anymore. Rare I think? $1199.99

listing three on reverb.com: incredibly rare murderbarn distortiondrivolo pedal, used, not working, for parts only. $599.99

guitar forums: it turns out that famous guitar player's murderbarn pedal is one-of-a-kind, the impact after his father threw the pedal changed the tone in a way that the other eighteen examples don't have. My old band mate had one and tried throwing it but it just broke.

showed the cello to my teacher and her verdict was "it's not bad and worth the price but I see why you don't love it" so I'll continue the search

#like a cello is so fucking expensive that I want to be sure I made the right choice #and it's not just the money but also I'll be playing it every day for years. so of course i don't want to spend my time with an instrument #that im not happy with #due to my tiny hands im looking for a ⅞ cello which are rare-ish but like the luthier said it's easier to make a choice when there's fewer #options. like if you have 5 instruments to pick between rathet than 12 or 20 #liz talks #cellotime!

You know for a man that is constantly shouting “IN STOCK NOW” he seems to not have a lot of stock (<- I am salty abt only being able to get 1 ten key pack a month)

#Twst #twisted wonderland #Listen I get the point of it. But also pulls are so fucking expense when compared to how little you get so rarely #Like It feels like a snail crawl of progress

What's something that makes you happy?

#ask avishai #plants are one of my special interests #i was very into rare plants during the pandemic when i was on unemployment and getting an extra like $600/mo #my ass was used to living on practically nothing so i was like fuck it the us government is going to fund my hobby #i would also trade and do cuttings which was very affordable #i don’t do as much w rare plants anymore bc they’re expensive and i am poor #but i still save up to buy a plant or two every month from my local nursery

Trying to remake that ~color reference~ for tfp au Starscream

#tfp au #tfp starscream #basically she's the g1 patterns sorta but with a lighter color palette (so the trans colors) #and the lore behind it in the au is that he donned them as a memento to his offlined trinemates #Blue being Thundercracker and Pink being Skywarp (look pink and purple are close e fragging nough) #'oh what about the disguise part' Megatron is a Cybertronian shuttle and Knockout is a very rare expensive car. the cons don't care #Starscream's good enough at hiding from the humans anyways (she campaigned for being on the down low more right?) #actually can any of the canon tfp Decepticons really do the whole disguise part? or are their altmodes just automatically obvious #something something the best disguising altmode in tfp is Ratchet's as his is a fairly average ambulance with average ambulance behavior #all the rest are crazy fucking obvious (yes even arcee i mean that's how jack noticed her)

why is buying things from ebay literally so scary

#uhhhh me #just bought a very expensive vinyl for my sister #but i jumped on it bc i know it's rare and usually goes way above $200 #heck i saw some for $500! that's wild #the one i got is like $250 and i SURE FUCKING HOPE it's legit #i WAS going to ask my sister if it's the correct one (it should be but WHO KNOWS) #but she wasn't answering and i was afraid the listing was going to disappear #because again. it's pretty rare #so i just jumped the gun #AHHHHHHHH

i kinda want to start asking antique book dealers if they've actually read the $200k book that they own. i think those would lead to some very ironic revelations and a lot of awkwardness.

#if i do end up in this industry fr i think i'll make a point to read all the books in my collection #professional #books #antique books #at my internship i rarely came into contact with the price of the books i was handling #even tho i knew they were almost all multiple if not tens or more thousands of dollars #but i'm now working thru some catalogues and... #fuck why are they all so expensive???
