Hey, did anyone catch Alias last week? I’m dying to know how she actually pulled that off! 🙂

lol!!!! 🤣 🤣 That was low. Don't you know Black Francis is a guy? And Bambi is a guy too, for crying out loud!

Honestly, I’d just spin Fugazi's 13 and wrap things up with some No Doubt. That's my DJ set right there.

I want to reiterate what I mentioned earlier: for people who aren't properly treated—or even those who've only been partially helped—this was pretty much inevitable. It’s easiest to look at what happened as just treating the symptoms. Now, it's time to tackle the actual root cause. If you can successfully overcome that, then the hardest part is behind you. Fingers crossed for you!

Kenneth Hernandez67 said:I talked to my psychiatrist earlier while we were setting up a session that would include my father too. He told me that, from a psychiatric standpoint—even if it seems totally "crazy"—what happened with Barb is actually a massive step forward.

He never used to say the things that are just pouring out of him uncontrollably now. He was basically just a shell, responding to questions using learned phrases and following some predictable pattern.

The only question is how long it will take him to navigate this intense psychosis he's in, who he'll be once he moves past this crisis, and how much time it takes to slowly, slowly start pulling himself together.😢

I've spent the last two days catching up on everything, and I wanted to chime in. I don't have any mental illness in my family, nor do I know anyone who does, but I do have a different perspective. Several of my close family members are psychiatrists. Believe me, what you are doing is incredibly rare and so, so precious. Throughout my life, I've heard countless stories of lost souls—people who were alone, people no one cared for, people who simply couldn't care for themselves. Because of that, I am certain your uncle has an amazing chance at recovery just because he has someone fighting for him and thinking of him.

After nearly non-stop, seemingly progressive—and it’s such a hard word to use in this micro-world—idyllic first year of therapy, I somehow expected everything to eventually surface. Reading your grandmother's journal and trying to imagine (I know it's impossible to truly fathom what others go through) your whole situation, I have to admit I was dreading when the breaking point would come. I mean exactly what you wrote above: the moment he breaks out of his shell and tears down all those walls he built around himself over the last 30 years.

I don't think I even need to tell you how much credit you deserve for digging through 30 years of deep psychological foundations. I can see you realize that you've finally reached his true "self." I just want to say that even as a complete stranger, I really appreciate and admire what you've achieved.

It would've been even better if I hadn't been stuck standing next to some incredibly clueless Americans whose mindless attitudes were driving me crazy. 😁

Half of what??? I was right there for the first song, then—snap!—they're already playing Add It Up... and the whole thing was absolutely killer.

Penny Lane said:So you ended up there too. Right after The Bangles. Were we just rotting away or what? 😛

Exactly! 😕

And you were hanging out at that rundown dive bar 😛

Pure genius. Nuff said.

Sweet!
I'm heading to the local convention this Monday for a Star Trek meetup. Maybe I'll see 😁
there too.

😁 😁 legend. 😁

I’m coming for you, and I am absolutely certain I’m going to rub salt in the wound... mm.. can't wait!

The movie is alright; I’ve seen it a few times. But honestly, Outsider is ten times better. I'm not even sure if making a film centered on Canadian and Canadian themes was a smart move.

The only thing that really sticks with me is that morbid scene where he claims everyone from that certain family is just a criminal. Then someone starts screaming from above, claiming people are just committing suicide up there, so he goes to see who's yelling and ends up falling off the balcony. 😁 😁

shadowgardener12 said:The Flaming Lips I'm ready. Send over the text you need me to rework. The Flaming Lips These are absolute masterpieces. They hit that sweet spot between late spring and early summer perfectly. The guitar work is pure genius—just incredible melodies and psychedelic vibes. It’s fast, breezy, and upbeat. These are exactly the kind of tracks you put on while riding your bike through the sunshine, feeling the wind and the air. They've carried me through several summers now. Woah.

The Flaming Lips was easily the weirdest album I’d ever heard up to that point. I was already an old-school listener, deep into stuff like Nirvana, Big Black, and Joy Division, but then I sat down and just let this one play. green I was floored after hearing them live for the first time. One minute everything is just swirling around—whistles, pops, bells, crackles—and then suddenly the guitars kick in, distorted to hell and back. It’s this incredible orchestration of pure onomatopoeia, or whatever you want to call it. Everything is whistling, humming, and melting together into this massive wall of sound, but it still feels warm. Then, out of nowhere, these sudden explosions of guitar hit you. It was a total cultural shock. 👍
I picked up those two albums mentioned above and was absolutely loving them. Then BAM—I hit The Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin. What even is that? Where did all the energy go? No guitars, no drive, nothing. Honestly, I wasn't even going to bother buying it before seeing them live. But they were phenomenal at the show, and that's when the whole substance of Soft Bulletin finally clicked for me. I bought it on the spot. There are some seriously beautiful tracks on there, but man, they are ten times better in person.
The last one is just a beautiful pop record.
Seriously... go listen to The Flaming Lips and the rest. You’ll be absolutely blown away. That's exactly how it should be.

I mean, come on... it’s practically a crime if you aren't selling something by The Flaming Lips!

I dig it. I finally picked up The Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin—it’s okay, but honestly, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. Yoshimi Battles The pink Robots, though? That one is delicious. Still, nothing earth-shattering. 😁

Honestly, I think he just got hit by one massive, colorful candy drop—kind of like a giant version of a Jolly Rancher. They just covered it up. It’s the exact same thing they did with Elvis.

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Supergrass is absolutely pumping through my speakers right now.
Electric orgasm—rock 'n' roll is taking over the whole damn country.
Novi Fosili - Good Girls

I'm mostly into Shins, early Blur, Idles, and stuff like that.

Look, I totally misread that and thought you were asking WHEN!!! Don't mess with my head! I'm done talking to you, you're being mean. 😛

a I totally misread that. And for the record, I haven't been high, nor have I ever been... not since I was last in Austin 🙂 . As for how things were, who knows? I was just busy cooking right outside X 🙂

My boobs are perfect exactly how they are, thanks for the concern 🙂 and I am NOT a fan of soy... are you high?

Last year, right around All Saints' Day...

I'm not really a fan of soy. It’s not like there's any beef stew with gnocchi available 🙂

I'm eating way too much soy because I'm stuck living with a vegetarian😁

(mmm... pot roast....)
