as part of its yearly presentation on thanksgiving, abstract science is very proud to present two special live performances from ambient luminaries REFORMED FACTION.
REFORMED FACTION [ klanggalerie, soleilmoon]
REFORMED FACTION is a musical group formed in 2005 by three former members of ZOVIET FRANCE: Mark Spybey (Dead Voices on Air, Download, Zoviet France), Robin Storey (Rapoon, Zoviet France) and Andy Eardley (Zoviet France) who would leave the group in 2006 . After the groups seminal concert in Vienna on 10 November 2005 they found themselves releasing their debut album "Vota" on the Austrian record label, Klanggalerie. Their second album, “The War Against…” was released on Soleilmoon Records in September 2007. Their most recent release in 2009 is a lavishly packaged triple album entitled “I am the source of light, I am not a mirror,” on Soleilmoon Records. Their new and upcoming album, “Until,” will be released by the Italian label Greytone in January 2010. They also have two vinyl albums coming out soon on Russia’s Brudenia Records and Tourettes Records from Houston, Texas. In the fall of 2010, Soleilmoon will be releasing a new album and they will also be re-releasing both “The War Against,” and “I am the source of light, I am not a mirror.” The band continues performing and recording today as a duo of Mark Spybey and Robin Storey. www.myspace.com/reformedfaction

More so that I am already researching MCAT tutorial and practice agencies?
Or that I ordered an old version of the MCAT practice book from half.com to start looking into what I can manage vs what I will totally need to immerse myself into to sort out?
Where did all of this ambition come from?
mine is black... and the just older version than this model.
It came with an original box with the giant Victor label on it filled with 78s. I sorted and threw out the broken ones, etc and had a small collection. I later went to buy a large stack of 78s from Half Price Books and was notified by the clerk that if I would take all of them that I could have them for 10 cents each instead of $1. I took them all.
Since then I have been picky about the ones I buy usually only getting ones I recognise the artist.
Today I found my own little personal grail... Glenn Miller Orchestra performing Moonlight Serenade. Cleaned the poor dusty thing off, pressed my tea in my steeper pot, replaced the steel needle with a fresh point, and had a nice sit in the parlour...
I've thought about asking realtors if they had any brutal murder properties. Rent free would be 16 shades of crazy awesome.
I would never think twice if neighbours said it was haunted. Haunted would be hilarious.
If you were close to death, what would you choose for your last words? To whom would you want to say them? Submitted By |
More light.
I don't know, the room of horrified people I have held hostage with myself strapped to a suicide switch? How does anyone know who will be near them at the point of death?
Crazy people, DJs, Wounded Infidel performance, whiskey, jedis hugging me, doors that would not function as proper doors, privacy made impossible, cussword cussword peanut, moonlight, keeping warm around good company in the best of ways, waking to find myself wrapped in kind arms next to newlyweds and we made our escape, mimosas, cigarettes, veggie burgers and never have I had mustard cleaned from the side of my mouth in such a wonderful fashion, an absolutely amazing day, failed blockades, pretty green eyes, and smiles... so many smiles.
I'm not going to have a COSTUME by any true means of the definition [and jeez, we should all HOLD TO DAMN DEINITION OF WORDS AS STATED BY HOLY MERRIAM-WEBSTER *cough* sorry about that] but will be dolled up in reasonable classy Halloween fashion, for sure.
Thankfully, I don't have to be dressed up until later, the previous event I will be attending was told to me as being casual so I'm grateful. I'll be wearing my new Swans shirt that is not a Swans shirt since it arrived yesterday much to my happiness.
Trying to decide if it will be cold enough to warrant an ushanka. I soooo love wearing them... I'll mull on that some more before making a decision.
Do want to wear the foxies out, but to something called Disturbathon, I'm thinking no. I'll probably take my old velvet long coat with me instead.
So I be chillin' until around 4 or 5 then I'll head out. Maybe I'll get some early dinner somewheres... not sure where yet.
Well, this was all pointless, here's something entertaining for you =)
trust me
Guess my mind wants a break from it all. I don't have to turn in Thursday's journal until tomorrow so I will leave it and see about submitting that in the morning... maybe I will be in a better mood for it by then or something.
Wasn't particularly a difficult day anyway, two lap cholecystectomies with grams and a double bunionectomy with triple arthrodesis. I can cut and paste the first one into the second and change the PT info, heh, same surgeon, same procedure, feh. Think it was the same suture too... if so, good thing because I nabbed the suture packets from that procedure! Wait, no... that was the bunion one... ah well whatevs... maybe next time on that one.
Just want to watch some Sherlock Holmes and ignore the books for a bit... do need to study like a good girl on Sunday though.
What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Are you going to wear coordinating costumes with a friend or partner? Did you buy something pre-fab or make it yourself? Submitted By |
Your mom. Of course, we're all going as your mom. Oh come now, everyone knows your mom is available everywhere.
Tonight I was watching some show about repo people. They're a bunch of large, loud, arrogant people that run a repo business and embarrass themselves on reality television while thinking they are, in fact, making themselves look double-plus cool.
Thing is, they're in Los Angeles?
That's like taking candy from children... overly tanned, addicted to botox and maxxing out credit cards kind of children.
They need to take these large, loud, arrogant repo people and put them in Detroit.
Now that... I would actually torrent the episodes of.
Yes, I did indeed rock it. Was flashing my mad skills [totally subconsciously because truly the whole time I WAS FREAKING THE HELL OUT] and even got a comment from my instructor inquiring if I work at the Japanese restaurant in town because I was twirling instruments around off the mayo and into the surgeon's hands. Quietly muttered that I have had ample opportunity learning the tricks what with playing with my collection, hah.
I then went to one of my favourite mexican resturants, ate a pile of fajita shrimp, drank a margarita, came home, and passed out for 16 hours straight.
Guess I'd been stressed... haha
So, next week I head to the hospitals where I will, finally, get my hands all up in peoples.
I am not feeling the stagnation anymore. Yesterday showed me that I have, indeed, been learning a whole lot of stuff and my concerns over feeling like time was dragging is all me just being impatient and not focusing on the important now.
Everything is going to be awesome.
I've got this.
Any fools wanna call me it's 22hemostat
awesomeness.
Well today I found an Oster MASSAGETT which is I am thinking might "massage" more than try to "GRIND ITS WAY INTO YOUR VERY BONES"
It's in mint condition having never even had the price tag from some joint called Higganbotham's taken off of it and is still in the box with all the paperwork [which has some the most hilarious photos in it]
I don't want to necessarily collect these old things, but damn if they aren't intriguing in their brutalist design...
[this is a STIM-U-LAX junior but it looks the spitting image of the MASSAGETT lol]
[[no that is not my hand, I jacked this photo from t3h n3tz]]
Managed to stop by and pick up some tasty veg foods. It has been raining here so so much and we are scheduled for more on Wenesday so I'm going to spend some time this week cooking for myself instead of dealing with the weather. I have been in the mood for a nice korma and with the weather cooling down it's getting time.
and I can't really think where I was going with any of this... I'm gonna throw on a couple of ghost movies and not really watch them opting for dozing in and out of consciousness instead. =)
Between hospital shifts and running all about with all the rain we've been having, I'm looking forward to spending my Friday lying in bed and reading books, drinking tea and definitely ignoring school-thingies for just one day.
Next week is checkoff week for clinical rotations and orientation at another facility.
Imagine that, peeps, week after next I will be working in operating rooms and assisting with surgeries! I'm feeling that once I start clinicals school is just going to fly by. The day I was there for observation I didn't even notice the clock spinning away, was just disappointed when the surgeries were done and it was time to leave. I won't have to leave when clinicals start, can stay as long as I want.
=D
Sooo looking forward to it!
All of my interactions with people the entire event were positive and made me happy. Yeah, lots of compliments and that makes anyone happy, but one really nice person came up to me at the fire art saying hello and they wanted to get to know me. I didn't know how to react, I just thought it was so nice and was flattered.
Since Sunday was considered a wash, everyone was pretty laid back and I enjoyed the people who stopped by asking about what artist I was playing or if I'd heard the news about this other one. Tons of hugs from people and I never felt that ick from anyone that usually causes me to enforce my 6' comfort radius, haha.
Telling old friends about what I have been up to and hearing their reactions it occurred to me that yeah, a lot has really changed. I'm grateful for the things and people in my life that have gotten me to this point. I don't think the 180 would have been so possible much later in life, I even have some ideas cooking that I will post more about once I have a solid plan.
Ah well, to perk up my spirits I bought myself a week in Paris over the Xmas break from school.
Consider me perked.
Hell yes.
