I love CAG & Kaki King & Zidane

CheappyD's site (what a ridiculous na)

So during these last few days of my Vacaville Summer, I’ve been doing a lot of CAGing around. I’ve picked up a decent load: 2 ‘Speed’ games (Sonic Rush for DS and F-Zero GP Legend for GBA) and 2 RPGs (Suikoden Tactics and DQ VIII). Sadly though, I missed my opportunity to get my dream… =(((

While browsing those sacred forums, I came across Lou-Dawg’s cool sig pic:

Zidane's Super Combo

I know its kinda late… but the night of the World Cup I got something like this in my e-mail. Even after all has been forgotten, this stuff still gets a good laugh outta me. And I don’t even watch soccer that much (anymore… hehe)

I’ve also got Sly 2 and Beyond Good and Evil ($9.98 each) waiting for me back in San Diego. In order to get free shipping for it though, I picked up something I’ve had on my wishlist forever now.

Everybody Loves You

Kaki King – Everybody Loves You

I forget where I originally heard about her, and I didn’t even bother to listen to it again before I got it. Trusting my ULTRA KEEN sense in music impulse took over and I clicked blindly. Though the album’s a little short, (less than 40 minutes), “Everybody Loves You” has become one of my favorite chill-time albums. You’ve gotta listen to her play… its kinda hard to describe in words. So… here ya go!

Kaki King Carmine St.

Her style is hella refreshing… simply… man. Apparently she’s got a new album out too… gotta check that out.

Sadly though, this CD is the only gift I’ll be able to use for a while (cept for some threadless shirts), seeing that I bought games for systems that I don’t have yet.
I’m so silly sometimes.

Something and the Infinite or Other

by Audrey Kawasaki

This would be infinitely better than MySpace if you didn’t hafta pay. As of now, its about even.

. : .

So its a weekend evening, and like many other weekend evenings here in Vacaville, I’m super lonely. This time though, it’s not because of limerence and its ilk. To quote Red,

“I guess I just miss my friend(s).”

I chatted with my favorite, Adry, a little bit and realized how it must suck to be not-white in Oklahoma. Then I realized that I missed her stupid silliness. Our conversation is short though, so that only made things worse. Then my fellow insomniac (well, back when I was one… I dunno what I am now), Amanda of all people has to sign online (that punk! the nerve…). *sigh* I missed a lot of stuff by coming back too late to do SB. Perhaps it was for the best, but I was really looking forward to working with Amanda, Zach, Mel, Augustin and Vanness (sorry I didn’t keep my promise). Summer Bridge is just a crazy, crazy, crazy experience and it would have been great to experience it one more time with some of the coolest, funniest and cutest people I know. It wasn’t meant to be though, so oh well.

Talking with Amanda also brought up The Head… and that’s a whole other bucket of tears… or whatever it is that emo people do (and yes… I cry for you Stump). And thinking about these LA friends led me to think about Lyon, also in LA, and how he left me just a week ago to rot in this desolate wasteland known as Cow Towning (DESPAIR).
The closest Fume Hood Posse members are Dr. Claw and uh… Wayne (sorry forgot your FHP name), and they’re in Sacramento… not exactly down the street anymore.

But despite all this… I just miss them. For one, they exist. That’s always a step in the good direction. And for two, its all good. The End. … I’m really lucky to have a lot of good people in my life. One day I will repay you all… IN BLOOD… hehe.

I also miss Japan. Man that place is cool. 日本に帰りたい。。。Speaking of which…

Advantage Lucy – Oolt Cloud

This song is so beautiful to me. I don’t know why… but I can listen to it forever. I really suck at words, so all I can say is that its ominous, but hopeful. Surprizingly, clockw0rk of Strider/Doom fame doesn’t agree with me. We’re usually i2i on these things… strange. Its got a great build-up… and the ending guitar shit is awwwwwwe. Make sure to check Lucy out… its really great stuff. I wish I coulda saw em in concert when I was in Japan. Next time… definitely.

Now if I could only find some lyrics…

K Qt

Isn’t my new favicon so cuuuuute? Aww… babble!

As you can see… I’m getting there again.

I’ve been playing a lot of marvel again… that game just never gets old. 6 years and still strong! I’m currently trying to learn Sent/Storm/CapCom (yeah… I finally went to the darkside and dropped doom for capcom). I can’t fastfly for shit anymore!

Other than that… I’ve just been kickin it with Lyon, drinking New Castle, and trying to stay up with my routines.

Yeeeeeah…

Oh, here’s my new favorite song as of today: Dream Island Obsessional Park A kinda techno japanese adhan… or something. I wonder if it uses elements from traditional Japanese music forms…if so… it seems that’s what has caught my interest as of late.

Its from the Paranoia Agent anime… which is quite interesting in its own right, from what I’ve seen!

It hasn’t hit me yet… Summer’s right around the corner

Director Online Users Group Lingo Reference

aka the site that’s doing me a huge favor.

I’m super busy… got big things planned (aka due) on weds… damnit.
Miguel Torres, this one’s for you:
Listen this

(Wolfmother – Joker & The Thief)

This band reminds me of White Stripes, and uh… other cool bands mixed together. I’d take the time and really analyze them, but I’ve work to do… damnit.

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.

「逃げられないよ。僕らは外では生きて行けないだよ。」

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.
