Something and the Infinite or Other

Life, Music,

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…

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

Music,

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.

She Was Like A Bearded Ridiculous

next on my toy list

NowPlaying: Cream – SWLABR

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:

Dr. Seuss Celebration on Library Walk

They were servin some cake and punch too… a kinda pointless event, but neat nonetheless.

Every Friday, Cafe Ventanas @ 5pm

Clockwise from left: Takashi, Eric, Stephanie, Danie & Baby (this guy knows everything)

you can't tell, but Arash is hella groovin now and Zandi's singin her heart
