My advice, choose a topic carefully, study it, then come up with the structure of the paper before even writing a word of it. You can change it as you write of course, but I wouldn't advice eve starting a paper without knowing where you're going to.

Like GRR Martin often says when asked if he knows how his saga is going to end, "I know I'm leaving Chicago for Los Angeles, but I'm not completely sure yet if I'll visit Denver or Salt Lake City of both."

I absolutely second this.

Hairdrying my bed to make it warmer while reading about positronium and charmonium while rains falls heavy outside. I must be sick at heart.

Sketchy · October 15, 2013, 11:20:22 PM

Back in my day, we used to dream of hairdrying a bed.

GentlemanofDread · October 16, 2013, 06:13:03 AM

Blugh, me being sick is painful.

Just ate some delicious vendaces

Onno · October 16, 2013, 08:41:59 AM

Cool, I've never eaten those before. What do they taste like?

Zydar · October 16, 2013, 08:43:03 AM

Like vendaces.

Onno · October 16, 2013, 09:03:35 AM

Gosh, I hadn't expected that. I've never heard of fish that taste like themselves before.

How informative

We always fry the vendaces, which makes them taste pleasantly crispy. They are so small that you can eat them as they are with no fear of getting bones stuck in your throat. The only bad thing is that after frying vendaces it takes a while for the smell to disappear from the kitchen, so you have to make sure you get rid of the scraps quickly enough and wash your hands carefully.

Onno · October 16, 2013, 09:16:02 AM

Wow, that probably tastes great...

? · October 16, 2013, 09:19:19 AM

In other news, I just realized something: Marco, mine is bigger than yours now!

I'm talking about post counts btw.

wasteland · October 16, 2013, 09:20:10 AM

Ville, I would like you to discuss this oddly looking thing, clearly of Finnish origins:

Speaking of POSTCOUNTS, it's hard to be postful when the connection is so wibbly wobbly here :/

? · October 16, 2013, 09:29:03 AM

Kalakukko? I've never tasted that, which is kind of shameful, because my dad comes from the part of Finland where it's a popular food. Maybe I should've tried it when I visited Kuopio last summer...

GentlemanofDread · October 16, 2013, 12:08:37 PM

Kalakukko? I think we need to take Ks away from Finland now.

Onno · October 16, 2013, 12:12:00 PM

America has too many K's already...

wasteland · October 16, 2013, 12:23:10 PM

Not to Italy, please. Idiotic kids use k's to abbreviate all ch's (and even the simple c's) in texts, which is outrageous

GentlemanofDread · October 16, 2013, 12:27:34 PM

But CHs don't look (or sound like) k's either! D:

Huh. The more I know.

(and knowing is half the battle!)

It's snowing here!

We need them, because C's only appear in loanwords!

Wheather in Pisa is an absolute mess. It can rain twice, melt and freeze in a single day. My clothes are no match for these conditions. I need something innovative.

Sketchy · October 17, 2013, 11:30:11 PM

I think the huge usage of K in finland is to protect against attacks from Siamese Bats.

Onno · October 18, 2013, 12:41:22 AM

Sketchy is probably right again.

wasteland · October 18, 2013, 12:42:29 AM

Do you guys have ever heard (of) Steve Balsamo?

? · October 18, 2013, 12:45:19 AM

Nope, who is he?

wasteland · October 18, 2013, 12:48:36 AM

Good singer

On other news, I bought my tickets yesterday.

Yes, he has a vinegar named after him.

Balsamo is also the Italian for hair conditioner. But seriously, you should check him out. His performance of Gethsemane is stunning.

I know.

Maybe I'll cop a sonic feel of his stuff on YouTube.

Man, being on a Joan Jett binge and going onto a Dream Theater binge is confusing.

Tick · October 21, 2013, 08:52:10 AM

Is there not a separate thread to discuss The Looking Glass?

GentlemanofDread · October 21, 2013, 09:06:13 AM

Doesn't seem like it, I'm afraid. Maybe start one?

wasteland · October 22, 2013, 01:54:53 PM

Dealing with the worst line ever. The funny thing is, stepping from the corridory into my room the line drops from 50MB/s to virtually 0. Fuck.

Tick · October 24, 2013, 09:00:39 AM

Has Dream Theater hinted as to when North American dates will be announced?
