I don't sing at all so i think kids should be fine >:]

In other news, i heard Madonna's gig in Ljubljana has been cancelled due to low tickets sale - apparently only 7000 were sold instead of 40,000 required in order for show to happen. How's her gig in Belgrade looking?
See, that's why i like bands like Muse - they are booked to play in place for 5000 people (or less), somewhere around 2000 people show up and they still put on a show and rock their shit like there's no tomorrow.
Speaking of Muse, heard two new tracks and am kind of meh. I still hope the whole album will somehow make sense, i try not to lose my optimism on that subject.

I could use a bit of a trade-off: Piggy for Piggy (NCSMN), Something I Can Never Have for The Frail+The Wretched, Reptile for In This Twilight and.. Well, ummm. Other than those, i think our gig was pretty fucking epic. I mean, with Pinion+Wish+Last+The Good Soldier+Dead Souls, which were in my opinion all more or less fantastic choice, we could borrow a few tracks from Amsterdam setlist and make it a bit longer but i wouldn't trade any other track.

So irenne, now with NIN disappearing from concert horizons, what's in next for you? :]

Hello Turkey, nice avatar you got there. Falls into the "You fall in love, you lose" category

Holy shit, can't wait for the Saturday so i can finally begin moving in new place. Also, anyone needs anything from Ikea? We'll be going probably next week so if someone needs anything, either order or come along.

irenne dude, how can talking about NIN and other live acts on the NIN message board be boring? Hehehe. Leonard Cohen sounds interesting though. It's one of those performers you're not (huge) fan of but would love to see it for its "name" or "reputation". Kinda like Lou Reed, for example.
Never been a big Faith No More fan but if they happen to play festival i'm attending and if i had to chose between them on stage A and Arctic Monkeys/Snow Patrol/Kings Of Leon/some other well known indie band on stage B, i'd go with Faith No More. And probably get my ass kicked (like Korn did a couple of months ago).

2mb? or 2GB? Or was there something else you two talked about and i wasn't aware of? Anyway, ishtmail, i'll bo going to Ikea on Tuesday for a few reasons: sister who has a much larger car and her man are going along; less road traffic; Ikea gets new sets and stuff every Tuesday or so. It's not your best timing so.. Just sayin'. Will grab a new catalog for ya though :] <3

Friend and I did have inspiring sessions of Cohen a few years ago and it's always nice to hear some of it, but it's still more like a theater.
Random questions: I'm sure the ex-Yu section of the forum is familiar with EKV, do you know Angel's Breath too? Just asking, no specific reason. I was just thinking how it's probably impossible to find original cd, and I obviously don't have it because I was too young at that time.
I'm bored at work...

Don't feel too bad. I haven't uploaded them yet either. I know, i slack a lot lately like you. But, of course, we both have valid excuses, right?
irenne what's your job like? Do they allow you to play Tetris/Minesweeper/Bejeweled?

Not to forget, ana i'm almost done with the book. How would you like it to be delivered to you?

Thanks ishtmail!
Though I can't watch the videos right now-am at work (afternoon shift) and it's not a good moment for playing NIN.
Normally I'm totally allowed to play games (and music, since the office is separated to a few parts so I'm basically alone) if I'm not busy.
But I don't -I'm not a fan. The simple ones (minesweeper, pinball...what's Bejeweled??) bore me really fast, the more complicated ones...I'd rather do something else with my time...don't know...I like Pacman and some racing games...I should install some here.
I'll watch videos tonight, can't wait! To see it and to recall the memories...

I know you're not interested in but i plan to keep this thread on page 1 so here's a little update from what's going on in new apartment so far:
- the balcony is awesome for chillaxin' even during heavy rainstorms.
- the hot water is on. At last.
- the fridge is superquiet.
- the washing machine (LG) came with Slovenian and English readmes but the text on the machine itself is German. Also, when it works, it flash-lights like your average NIN Wave Goodbye European show. Other than that, it does its job well.
- Counter-Strike offline mode with 20 bots on difficulty level 3 = time well killed.

How's everyone else?

Wave ... waves ... so the summer here is almost over, for me at least, haven't seen the sea, apart from those trips to SA and BU my vacation time is running out, now. By running I mean wake up at 5.30, upload the van, go to LJ, unpack things, go back to NG, pack new boxes, drive them to the new "postal address", pack and unpack, clean afterwards and arrange all the work that still needs to be done, like change of a toilet seat, installing the lights, throw another toilet out to make room for a dryer machine, repair the demage of water leak, discuss with the construction company over the reclaims that have been made, even if there was a guarantee for 5 years, now nobody wants to take the responsibility for broken things although I haven't touched them since I've bought the place.

anyway ... these are the last days that i still have the plug on ... for my PC and the internet. In the next days I'm driving it to SA and on the end of this month I should be settled there.
Tomorrow I'm looking for a new laptop, so if you have any suggestions which one is relatively good priced for a good quality for constant use (school work - thinking 15.4"... just write it down.

All well?!

Yeah, have to say ... long time passed, this week I'm finishing the last hours of work in the office, even if I'm officially on the leave.
Now that I helped my parents move, I'm packing my things into boxes and Je***, how much stuff do I need! and have! and have to get rid off!
Man! moving sucks.

Now since the tour is almost wrapped ...
I would like to say thanks for the company, the travel, Budapest hostel search, the concert experience, the meeting, getting to know all of you, well some (Zeljko - so Amsterdam eh?), the morning mocha coffee, a ride back, the sleepover, good time my friends.
I'm not gonna lost myself, just need some change in my life, going back to university at this age is a bit frigtening, but i guess nothing unusual in the west world.

Wave goodbye ... so we can see each other soon.
Ace
(ups, wrong smiley)

hey there i'm "some of the turks." from istanbul but right now living in paris so had a chance to see him live both in paris and then in istanbul (10 days later)... it sorta sucked in istanbul because they stayed on stage for an hour only due to the music festival as paris was more fulfilling for me (around 3 hours).

who knows when & where to see NIN ever again but it was great to see Reznor up close and hear him live in bloody beautiful istanbul finally.

Update time. It appears that when me and isht moved, news in this thread got slow. Let's see how much we can update at once.

The apartment looks more like an apartment and less like a warehouse. Couch still needs to be bought and with car being away (tehni?ni pregled :/ ) and other thing being in the way.. but fuck it. It is a plce we can live in, we can make food, we can sleep, shit, shower and have space to put our clothes.
In the free time, i'm trying to work on a website for company i used to work for.

acerchiata - happy VERY late birthday :*** as for laptop, if you haven't gotten one, as long as it Cure Duo, at least 2GB of RAM, about 320GB of hard drive, cd/dvd combo (even better if it's blu-ray player/dvd writer combo), you're fine. 15,4 incher would be probably too small of a monitor size for me but if you really only need it for mostly school work, you have nothing to worry about.
Comshop is not the cheapest of them all, but you'll get the picture of price range.

irenne - got new job yet? Also, i hope you watched the Closure DVD, not the VHS one. The difference is in picture quality and about 90 minutes of additional footage. Also, if you need to kill time, there are still five hours of "Making of Closer video" out there. I have yet to watch it myself.

Hey Keyro, as far as i know, ishtmail works in Ljubljana and sisterdew aka tinkerbell is still going to college. Other than that, we're from all around the country and usually meet here or there. And while on this topic, i suppose i agree with ishtmail's text message saying about thinking of doing another small one-day meet. With coffee and such, though i'd prefer lunch/dinner. I'll be in the city most likely next sunday (not yet 100% sure), but things are more certain as soon as i get my car back.

Hey roselunatic <3

Oh yeah, while i had a pooptime, i remembered i forgot to ask you about car specs but i see you thought transmission works fairly well, even if delayed. But, i hear ya man, new flat > life. Just got some time off from all the workers, buying/installing/fixing new stuff and just when you think you solved one case, another one just pops up. Case of plumbfail:
- waterdrainexitthing was not set at the right part of the kitchen when we bought cabinets even we were told differently.
- that was fixed by this plumber (his price was 95€ against about 400€ from other plumbers who checked out the situation and put the price on their work) but we had to buy different water boiler than planned.
- we fixed that and the water began leaking from a few places incl. pipe. dishwasher wouldn't output water.
- dishwasher guy came and fixed the shit plumber fucked up.
- pipe man came and fixed the pipe but the water was still leaking under. he said it's something plumber fucked up.
- the plumber came, fixed that (though he was at the door about to leave, we opened the water, it started leaking again so he got back), now it appears somewhere in the drain, something holds the water to flow smoothly. plus, the pipe takes shitload of time to actually stop working.
- waiting for another plumber and the pipe guy to check on things.
Not to mention that the plumber (eventhough he works for pretty good company) ignores to answer phone, does his job VERY sloppy, has no sense of time ("I'll be back in about an hour" took up to 6 hours, "I'm going to get this replacement thing in my car, brb" at 10am turned into coming back next day saying he forgot about it etc.). Now, he did this crap and he's going to fix it, we're not paying anyone else to fix his fuckups.

But this is just one of the things going funny around here. There are still small problems with central heating (though it's turned on and all) and screws for the wardrobe doors (which are too small and i have no idea how they're supposed to hold the door up, lol). But all-in-all, it's nothing we can't handle
Come to think, it must be what our parents had to deal with when we were kids but we were just too young and careless to actually give a fuck about

PS - JENSEN BUTTON FUCK YEAH!

Well, as i said, the company he works for is reliable and -as for costs- they're in normal range. Because everyone i talked to (maybe i talked to the wrong people?), said we could get much cheaper deal but 400€ (+200€ to fix the wall) was way way way too much for what it's supposed to be done. It's like charging 35€ for chewing gums when you know the cost nowhere near 4€ maximum >:] That said, there can be a thin line between "pay more for job better done" and being simply ripped off.

Nice car stats.

"Gora ni nora; nor je tisti, ki gre gor."


RIP Humar.

For non-natives, one of famous Slovenian alpinists was found dead in Nepal during one of his solo climbs. He was last heard on Monday saying he probably broke his leg and ribs, there were reports of damaged spine. Either way, they found his body today some hundred meters lower than was searched. What happened, no one knows.

My opinion: it is tragic event. However, i'm not fan of (extreme) climbing and the upper saying (roughly translated as "Mountain ain't crazy; crazy he who climbs the mountain" ) kind of explains my view.
