Shiver me timbers, it's a great time to be a porch pirate in Brazil! Hoist the sails!

They're not that old
the Gazette just announced that bassist Reita has passed away yesterday, at 42yrs old :/
They havent said what the cause was, but damn thats young. Just wanted to let you know and tell you to go see your old vk men, bc even the younger ones are going.
Too damn young, it's got me reeling over here.
Also hi, hello, everyone. It's been a while.
Well that's horrible
It's true, you never know when something might just happen.Hey
@sanctum that's the gazette! They're pretty fantastic in my incredibly biased opinion.
@flowers I will endeavor not to pull a yu~ki this time and disappear into the mountains suddenly. I return with an entirely new set of cats. Unlike the original monsters, this set has a more pinky and the brain dynamic going. The dumb one is truly bereft of thoughts and the other one decided to dismantle part of my stove.
Also, for some reason, the company I work for decided it was a great idea to promote me to meat cutter a good long while back. So, if anyone needs to hide a body...

What kind? Still being allergic to cats I mainly have to just let other people describe cats to me and tell me how good they are XD
You make it sound like it was a less-than-great idea

I thought so! It's from the cover of one of the textbooks we are using this year. They were delivered a couple of days ago and it felt like very strange timing given the recent passing of one of the members.
Anyone still waiting for their preorder of "Nervous and Innocence" is out of luck.

Thanks for sharing, it's a strange feeling
Edit:
Wow just saw that his label also had Yelworc under their wing at some point.
Not so much bad as it was surprising considering I laughed menacingly when District Bob asked if I could see myself using The Saw. Although, he was probably more than used to my shit by that point. Told me I had his full support.You make it sound like it was a less-than-great idea
In fairness I haven't met another member of my profession who wasn't at least weird if not slightly murder-y.As for the cats, the first is a short haired tuxedo who's a bit dim but an otherwise good boy. Named him after The Gazette's most recently and unfortunately departed member because the goal was "good boy with gremlin energy"
I got him a few months after the oldest fat cat passed away, because Empress Mouse was yowling in loneliness still. Alas, she hated him but eventually learned to tolerate his existence. He loved her, though.
Unfortunately, he eats foam. Obsessively. He ate roughly 200 nerf darts before I realized he was not simply hiding them. All foam is behind a lockable door, including my flip-flops.
The other one is a fluffy black void a coworker gifted me a few months after Empress Mouse passed away. I named him Hythlodaeus in the hopes of matching the other cat's Happy Gremlin Energy but he turned out to be some sort of demon in a cat suit. His crimes are as follows:
- Dismantled the fan above my stove. (Aluminum frame, filter, shitty plastic fan blades)
- Taken apart the lower 1/3 of the stove.
- Defeated all of the child locks I put on the kitchen cabinets.
- Attempted to access (and likely dismantle) the smoke detector in the living room. Had to move the cat furniture.
- Climbed my book shelf and stole my pretty rock collection, thrice.
- Reached the top of the book shelf by unknown means, stole and ate half of one of the scour pads I was trying to hide from him. Pilfered the cards I had on display up there as well.
- Annihilated the cat stroller. One I purchased with the assistance of the chewy.com people because Reita ate the wheels on the first.
- Unplugged the refrigerator.
- Knocked over and proceeded to consume some rockstar energy. Proceeded to crime at 3x speed.
- Dragged my Kozi albums, and only those albums, under the couch.
- Stole my sandwich
- Yanked the ethernet cable free from its place along the wall until I got fed up and coated it in a layer of tapatio
- Consistently and remorselessly attacked and chewed on my big toe. Was declared innocent by a jury of twitter users in spite of video evidence of the crime.
Right now, he's trying to figure out how to use doorknobs. Once he gets it none of my worldly possessions will be safe. At least he's very loving and affectionate and has mostly stopped chewing on my extremities.
A cat with taste is all right in my book XD
This is the reason I could never have a cat even if I wasn't allergic though, the thought of having even one of my treasures destroyed horrifies me
I don't even let humans get too close to the goods XDJon: "I sure hope nothing happens to my PRICELESS VASE"
Garfield: "Guess what"
Need to get @faith in here to post her own fluffy black void on a fluffy black bath mat

He seems to have an Understanding of his limits in that the albums were entirely unharmed. He just wanted temporary custody, I guess. I feel like drunk cat-father would approve. On a related note, I just assembled a new shelf and the entirety of my music hoard is going to be relocated into the office.
@faith please post the fluffy void (at your convenience)
@sanctum I feel called out. I used to type like that a lot
I do not have answers, however.
To this day I've never found anything good for the purpose. Just varying qualities of those "metal pegs and cardboard back" shelves. Apparently people stopped wanting CD shelves in 1992
Apparently physical media is for old people these days. Mine's a metal frame and cardboard back situation with colored lights, but it'll work when it comes to the albums I have that are fancy-packaged. Because I am apparently still a sucker when it comes to bands and crap I like. I don't have a TON of stuff, it's just that most of it is unwieldy. I still haven't transferred all that crap yet.
After vaguely catching up on things I've missed, I decided to follow Juka's instagram fishposting a few days ago. Proud of you, buddy. Live your best life.
I'm honestly jealous he up and decided he preferred the company of fish to band life so quickly. It took like 14 years for me to build up the nerve to peace out of my original store.

And BMWs, don't forget the BMWs
I think I'm most surprised that he meets up with girls who are fishfluencers. Almost as surprised as I was at the existence of fishfluencers.

Hobbies are serious business in Japan and fishing is no different. Quite a few people I have met have been pretty into the hobby, including students. My girlfriend's father often goes fishing and takes his catch into the whatever the fish-equivalent of a butcher is to get it turned into sashimi for the night's dinner. I also just realised that I have never considered what the fish-equivalent of a butcher is, my first thought was fishmonger but that doesn't feel quite right.
