Deep Funk

Vintage pieces tend to wear really well and are smaller than some of the monster 44MM by 16 MM watches made today. I want an elegant piece that tells time, not a brick shiny to impress the wrong sorts of people.

Got a nice sturdy Tissot from my grandpa after he passed away. Nothing uber fancy, but respectable nonetheless. I'll be dead before this leaves my possession, and feel no need to get any other watches (except maybe a pocket watch for my hipster tendencies).

Timeless pieces indeed!

I already have a pocket watch. Mondaine makes a nice one these days but it is quartz and is about 200 Dollars/Euros. A good vintage one in working order can be very affordable. Now I must resist hunting again...

Thought you were refering to Fat Albert's catchphrase https://tinyurl.com/4z5gqsf https://tinyurl.com/ycddoumd

Or you simply "can't get no satisfaction" and do the Mick Jagger. Those little catch phrases/shouts in music are fascinating.

I like your thinking. Can you expand on this?

That album is pretty fun, but its title is quite ironic. I like artists with a sense of humour.

Also Prince's "Bambi" is a good one

On your worst moments Beethoven's 5th. When you are starting to enjoy yourself Miles Davis' "So What" or psychedelic Beatles songs. "Yellow Submarine" then starts to make sense...

Thom Yorke - Black Swan is my bad day song. But i also play it on good days, that bassline brings me so much joy.

Beethoven Symphony 9, fourth movement, measure 96 on in particular.

Problem solving is one of the better cerebral stimulants.

@atomicbob Unless you're trying to solve your wife's problem; that just leads to madness.

point awarded @westermac - very true.

Are you sure that Polly isn't an unladen African swallow?

Beautiful plumage.

Spirited Away is still my favorite

That story almost makes you cry. The way innocence is conveyed by Studio Ghibli as the one thing that saves us as humans really makes you think...

I have a friend that just moved to the Netherlands. She's not American, is she?

Please continue to have fun with this girl, with our blessings.

She is Dutch.

"God of WiFi" really doesn't have the same sense of gravitas.

Neither does 'Starlord', and yet...

Thanks, you made me laugh.

When life gives you lemons...read a book.

Or the best of both. I re-read 2001 A Space Odyssey while listening to classical music. Really enjoyed that weekend.

Going to see APC tonight!

It was really good! Pretty downbeat for a Marvel though.

Actually has a memorable villian too. I remember what past villians look like, maybe their powers, but I couldn't tell you their names or motivations. Thanos is pretty well developed for a superhero movie.

This film raised the bar. So many touching moments and plot twists and then the ending hits you. Thanos is the kind of villain you admire and is quite rare in fiction. Imax 3D is awesome by the way.

I'm getting the first three parts of the expanse today. Ordered them when i heard they canceled the show.

Chekhov made me laugh. He mind was so sharp. This is going to be good.
