    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    Well a week in detox did jack shit. Been kicking on more or less since I got out, except for a 9 day break when I got out of town. But had to come back, and was on it again within an hour or so. Next up is CBT treatment, a longer stay out of town to hopefully get more time to get it out of my...

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    But seriously, this has become a full blown habit, been caning it for the last 2 months and think I should call it quits while I'm ahead. Checking into detox on Wednesday, followed by another week out of town to get my head together. Wish me luck FOH, and remember, drugs are bad, mmmk.

    Cobra Kai

    That was really fucking good, not sure how much further they can take it without it dragging, but I'm onboard for more.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Really digging lofi lately. And there's so damn much of it out there.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Finally gave in and rewatched it, couldn't finish it in one sitting and had to go do something else and come back. Movie still sucks for the same reasons it sucked in December. No idea how they're going to rebound from this mess with Ep 9, since half of it is going to have to be exposition...

    Cobra Kai

    Yeah somehow I'm actually on board with this. I like that they took an fan/meme theory and just rolled with it - Daniel growing up kinda smug and douchy feels right. It'll come down to how well they play the rivalry between Johnny and Daniel, and I don't see how much potential there is for...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Still hooked on this track. The ending was really jarring the first time I heard it, but now it's just hypnotic. Trent's nailing it with these EP's - his best non-sountrack work since Year Zero/Ghosts imo.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Looks like they snapped that picture right as Glover was trying to decide whether he can be bothered to fake enthusiasm or not.

    The Shape of Water (2018)

    Can't believe this got the reception it did, I thought it was awful. Gonna watch Pan's Labyrinth again tonight to clear it out of my head. And because it's gotta be said - why the fuck is there one fish monster and then just one chick who happens to have gills (which... scarred over? what?) and...

    Hard Sun

    Yeah the momentum dropped off hard after the first episode, I only watched the next 2 episodes or so. Don't spend enough time watching TV to want to waste it on filler BS these days.

    Health Problems

    Not sure about the US but here they used to have it in patch form - same even distribution as the pellets, but without having anything injected into you.

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    No I've never done any inpatient work. Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea when I was heavy into the opiates and benzos, but I managed to reign that in so it never happened. Thought about it quite seriously for the suboxone detox, but in the end I figured I'd find it more comfortable at home...

    The Orville

    Can't emphasize this enough.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Possibly the best cover of Teen Spirit I've ever heard. I'm in love with it atm.

    The Orville

    It's basically Trek if the characters acted like real people. STD picked up for a bit during the mirror universe episodes (then slumped hard afterwards, imo), but overall I think I got more out of Orville, especially the latter part of the season when it felt like they'd landed on the right...

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    Crazy late reply, but yeah, a huge part of it is just restructuring life so you're not constantly exposed to shit. It's one thing to wake up and not feel like taking drugs, but a whole other thing to have them shoved in your face and still say no. Especially since people so often have an...

    Depression

    I mean obviously everyone is different, but my experience is that it fluctuates immensely. I was doing pretty awesome for most of this year, especially when I got out of town for a bit, but hit a slump on Saturday and ended up like you said - just wanting to lie in bed and sleep all day. Some of...

    Depression

    Yeah... sound depressed. It's kinda like that. The thing is, problem getting up in the morning isn't so much physical as psychological. Just have a hard time getting the momentum going unless I have a very concrete goal to achieve. If I do have something to force me to get up and going, I...

    Depression

    5lb I could handle. I'm actually on the lower end of healthy since I cut bread and went straight meat/fruit/veges, although I'm also about where I was before my weight went to shit in 2010, so who knows. I'm pretty good for sleep atm, funnily enough. Better than I've been in a long time, at...

    What did you just read?

    Always liked Nightbreed, decided the check the novel out because usually it's better. This time it wasn't, which I guess just means they did an awesome job with the adaption (Barker was heavily involved iirc, so I guess he still deserves credit). The novel did fill in some stuff that the movie...

    Depression

    Any FOH people tried Mirtazapine? Hit a bit of a slump and my shrink is pushing it pretty hard. I've never had an luck with antidepressants in the past (all side effect, no therapeutic benefits), but this isn't an SSRI, so maybe it'll go better. Kind of in a "can't hurt to try" place at this...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Well at least Hayden Christensen can look forward to being overshadowed in the "actor who ruined a key SW character" department.

    The Magicians

    You know who I support? Game studios. Because I'm happy to just jump on Steam, pay for what I want, download it and enjoy it, but I'll let Tanoomba fuck me raw before I get conned into paying a monthly subscription for three or four different streaming services just because each of them has one...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Well fuck me if that wasn't actually pretty badass. If they keep it up this will basically be a Trek/WH40k crossover by the end of the season, and I'm so incredibly onboard with that. God Emperor Georgiou gives me a nerd boner. What I want to know is, if they had this in them, what the hell...

    The Magicians

    That wouldn't be an unfair alternative title for the series (books or show), so I wouldn't get your hopes up. I liked Elliot a lot in S1. S2 Elliot gets really whiny and annoying sometimes, which sucks because they picked a great actor for the role, and Quentin already fills the whining quota...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    It's also a nice for when you want something to play that doesn't demand 100% of your attention - I mostly fire it up for a week or two every other season and play while going through my backlog of podcasts. And it's a good game to play while just kicking back and talking shit on voice chat. I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I dunno, I agree that the game came through eventually and I've definitely gotten enough entertainment out of it to justify the initial purchase + xpac, but the necromancer DLC in particular didn't add a whole lot for me, and I was a huge D2 necro fanatic back in the day. Maybe the class has...

    Anakin was basically force jesus, and remember what he could do before being trained? Pod racing.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah but The Rock was on screen for a few minutes, while Neelix was around for 7. Fucking. Seasons. The fact that nobody sat down and said "we gotta write this fucking guy out" blows my mind just as much as how annoying he was to actually watch.

    Hard Sun

    Enjoyed the first episode, although I think throwing all the personal stuff in the mix with the whole main "end of the world" scenario feels a bit messy. Can't people just deal with conspiracies and the end of the world without throwing in mysterious personal agendas and tragic backstories off...

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    ilubro nohomo Will definitely keep an eye out. Lost all my 40k ebooks to a harddrive failure, so I've been trying to stock back up. Edit: Damn, that was actually pretty good. Definitely a cut above the other HH reading I've done. It does a much better job at portraying pre-Heresy Imperium and...

    Dresden Files

    I'd be cool with that if his steampunk stuff wasn't so awful. I don't set the bar very high and I still couldn't get more than 1/3 or a so of the way through that book.

    Dresden Files

    Yeah I started a re-read a month or so ago, then stopped at Summer Knight when I realized I'd probably finish Skin Game and still be waiting to hear a release date.
