Things have been a bit dusty around here. I’ve been hella busy with numerous projects (more on that later), but for now, you can find some more Dope Media over at pimptrickgangstaclique.com aka PTGC.
It’s a music blog that I’m runnin’ along with some of the savviest cats around. Peep game and spread the word ya’ll.
The few weeks since my b-day{{1}} [[1]]Thanks for all the shoutouts friends![[1]] have been mildly uneventful in reality, but have been feeling like super-crazy-time.
And ever since DST, my biological clock has decided to start my day at 11:30am, no matter what time I go to sleep. Nothing bugs me more than going to sleep at a sane hour, and STILL waking up late. Sure it might only be a few hours before my ideal rise and shine (8:00a), but morning hours seem to have some kinda time compression.
Compiling extensive product comparison spreadsheets for hard drives, monitors, washing machines, dryers.
3 Personal website projects looming over my head, only one of which I’m actively working on.
Going through my paper inbox.
Slogging through my practically endless todo list (289 and counting)
All kinds of busy/paper work for my financial friends at the banks, student loan and retirement offiices{{2}}. [[2]]Thank god I didn’t have to do my taxes this year.[[2]]
Since I’ll be starting my first 9-5 in a few weeks, the pressure to get my act together increases with every day.
Man… I mean I knew everything on tv was fake, but still…
Now for one of my favorite old-style Radiohead songs…
Radiohead – Fake Plastic Trees (Live in Glastonbury 2003)
PS: Speaking of fake…
YA example of awesomeness of Japaneseness
Just think. These crazy geometric bow calculations are pre-programmed into all Japanese people {{1}}. [[1]]It’s all firmware man.[[1]] There was no thinking “Oh I messed up. I should bow… 20º lower.” Homeboy just innately knew…”bow this far… BUT NOT TOO FAR”.
The stereotypical Asian wisdom is true: “Don’t Think. Feel.” {{2}}
[[2]]Of course it was none other than the Little Dragon who said this. No, he is not Japanese. No, Asians are not all the same, but Yes, I am milking a popular meme for all its worth.
Also: If you haven’t seen these Lee flash animations, you’re hella missing out. They’re old school (I saw em back in HS), and in Korean, but the simplicity of it all truly captures the elegance of Lee’s artwork.[[2]]
