Simple Pleasures

[astfgyl]

Going back to the start of the pet peeves thread and seeing the evolution of society and also realising that nothing ever changes

[The Heretic]

When you listen to an album to the point of wanting to order it, then order it and force yourself not to listen to it anymore until the postman arrives. The anticipation that goes with that, love it 

Musical edging?

The satisfaction of finishing scanning a pile of CDs into the laptop/phone, when they've been building up for months. It was that or the pub and I thought if I was going to waste my time, I might as well save a few bob and get some feeling of accomplishment in the process.

Nice little one today. There's a shop called Hi-Fi Exchange that I drive past on my way home from work every day and I've been meaning to drop in. I needed one of those doo-dahs that you attach to the record player when you get a 7" with an oversized centre hole. As you can probably see, I'm quite technically minded.

Today I finally said, fuck it, and cut across a few lanes of busy rush hour traffic and went in. I explained as well as I could what I was after and the dude disappeared into a back room while I oohed and ahhhed over loads of old equipment, most of which I couldn't name or of whose function I could hardly even conceive. He comes out five minutes later with the exact little job, covered in dust, probably having sat rotting on an old stereo for a decade or two.

That's the exact thing! How much is it?

Ahhh, you can have it for free.

Really? How can you run a business if you give your stuff away, I laughed.

He just goes, If you want to support the business, give us a good review.

Fucking sound!

So I've been busy all evening setting up false social media accounts and calling him a paedo. It's the Irish way.

Seriously though, it's cool when someone looks out for you like that. It probably was only worth a couple of dollars but he could have charged me anything but just handed it to me. Cool motherfuckers still exist in this world

Finding an old half packet of cigarette papers in the back of a press after tearing the house apart at 11pm. Seriously, what else worth so little can bring such pleasure....And relief

I got so stung a few weeks ago that I used the back pages out of one of those carbon copy invoice A5s for a pinner.  It wasn't great

Ha, thought got me thinking when we use to have fuck all tobacco as teens and would resort to rolling up the contents of a teabag. Fuckin' hell what kind of third world existence were we eking out in the early nineties

:lol: fuck you'd try anything though for a smoke.  I used to have a little wooden smoke box that I would empty the dog ends of fags out into when I was done with them so I could skin it up later when I inevitably ran out.

Lying with your head on the ground so your eyes are lined up with the floor, using the phone light to spot any debris that may be potential bud crumbs. Joint would smell like burnt hair and biscuits but sure better than no smoke. Don't miss student life.

Being on a vape for months and giving in to the comparative deliciousness that is pre-rolled cigarettes.

[Caomhaoin]

I haven't had a cig in years but I'm hopelessly addicted to vaping. Got the easyway book in the post last week so I may crack into it soon.

[open face surgery]

Have quit smoking once again as of Monday, although I'll still smoke when I drink, so I dunno where that lands me.

[hellfire]

I envy people who can smoke socially. I'm like a lunatic after a day off them.
