Obligatory Post
So… I’ve left the site in the dust again.
I’ve been rather busy. I was gonna reboot, but fate had its way with me.
Anyway, nothing’s new. I just feel more ‘emo’ than ever. Which is another reason I haven’t been posting. I don’t wanna whine about my so-called “despair” (yeah… some people call it that), my privaleged life is just fine thank you very much.
No love from anyone, even my GF (powerbook). I hate lower ram slot failure (see sidebar). And my Dragons (500gb external HD) is coughing up its organs… how am I gonna back up over a 100 gigs of music. Let alone a 100 gigs of video. And then the 100 gigs of random other stuff. *SIGH*
I’ve been listening to the Akira soundtrack a lot recently… here you go. At one point I was listening to the chants non-stop the whole day.
Now though, its this song from Champloo. Just what I need.
I haven’t played my favorite Silent Hill song yet… I wrote it on my arm to remind me… but I don’t hafta play it quite yet.
「逃ã’られãªã„よ。僕らã¯å¤–ã§ã¯ç”Ÿãã¦è¡Œã‘ãªã„ã よ。ã€
I need to go bowling.
EDIT: I dunno why the 2nd Akira song (Kaneda) sounds all crazy in the mini-player… it works if you just click the link. Makes for some interesting ambiance though.

Yeah… I’ve been eyein that camera for way too long now… (since before Japan). I really wanna just get it now, but I know that once the update to it comes out, the price’ll keep droppin’ (or I might just go cutting edge). But man its hard. I look at that page everday, subconciously hoping that I’ll break and put in the order.
Why the lust?
Well, my old “trusty” Sony cam just ain’t cuttin it no more. Waaaaaay to much lag: with flash, it creates about a 7 second interval in which the camera is COMPLETELY unusable— no preview (screen turns off for some weird reason), no nuthin. And that’s when the flash is usable. 80% of the time, it just ends up making the pictures darker. Along with the lack of an audio-only mode (I use my cam as a ghetto tape recorder for concerts and conversation, when its too dark for movies), I’ve pretty much stopped taking pictures “in the moment”, now strictly using it for documentation. Now while I’m definately an advocate of picture sharing among friends (is it REALLY necessary to use 15 different cameras for the same group photo? c’mon, we’re in the internet age!), it sucks not being able to capture those moments which only your own imagination sees.
Damn… I’m such a technocrat! (at least I’m not this fiend)
Ah well, I layed low this weekend. Went to language table, and chilled with Takashi, Daniel, Baby (Andrew), Eric and Stephanie. Talked about a lotta interesting stuff, ghost stories, Equilibrium, Death Metal, Equilibrium, Geography (Baby draws crazy detailed country maps from memory), Progressive Metal, Yatta, religion, and bubble-like alien crafts. I think I infect people with randomness!
On Saturday, I went to APSA talent show to watch Zandi and Arash perform. They kicked ASS. I had never heard Zandi sing (live), and I must say I was blown away. She deserves her diva status fasho!
And Angry Black Man Props to Arash on his drummin’. You could really see that he felt the music… aww my hero.
I was supposed to watch… haha… Equilibrium with the crew after the show, but I had to return that damned half full keg from the party. Stupid broken tap ruined EVERYTHING (not the party tho! shit was hot! thanks to all those who came out!). Karen also invited me out to a black & white party @ Lorelai’s old pad, but I decided to just stay home and do work nothing really (she actually ended up not goin at all).
Well, there’s my stream of conciousness. I should keep this up and get all the shit still in my head out, so I can move on to more productive posts eh?
This week’s Pix:
They were servin some cake and punch too… a kinda pointless event, but neat nonetheless.
Clockwise from left: Takashi, Eric, Stephanie, Danie & Baby (this guy knows everything)

Were you there? a.k.a. Susie vs. ANGELA DAVIS
Wow tonight was just too murch… tonight Angela Davis spoke at UCSD
learning means so much
:nobodu asks questions and everybody has one”

Susie became everyone’s hero by questioning Davis’ narratives. Good for her.
I heard the wise and you cracked it. aka IN A SEA OF MUCUS

So I’m hella pro-c-ing now.
You know how I do. I’ll do the work after I take this drink.
Anyway, in light of yesterday’s post, it would seem that this guy would fit right in.
I stop by that place every once in awhile, and he does something like this. I mean, that’s great.
Only a few people are cool enough to have such great sense of humors. One day we should all join forces and have a ridiculorgy.
PS: Cuz I love how you can easily post pics in WP now.
