Zaireeka, Revisited

I saw Dave yesterday, and he brought me the recording he made when we all listened to Zaireeka at Stu’s house, some three months ago. Been a little while! As a summary, Zaireeka is a four CD album made by The Flaming Lips, and it’s designed to be played using four separate CD players, all

You Bastards!

So a long, long time ago I got a copy of The Chemical Brothers‘ Loops of Fury as an mp3 file. Loved it. It’s one of the songs I play whenever I’ve got to get a lot of shit done quickly, a good song to play if I’m meaning to crank a lot of things

There’s a Little Bobby Fischer in All of Us

Walking home, I ran into one of the guys that work at Sam’s Liquor’s. He was just standing outside, smoking a cigarette. I think his name is Scott – I’m not sure. I’m going to call him Scott here, until I find out otherwise. Anyhow, I saw Scott playing chess with someone else that worked

Knife Goes In, Guts Come Out. That’s What Osaka Food Concern is All About!

^— If you know where this reference is from, you and I need to do some serious drinking. An article was shared on twelvestone that talked about North Korea’s revolutionary singing. It reminded me of a link that I came across a long, long time ago about corporate anthems. That second one is soooo worth

Study Buddy

Justin mentioned taking a day out of the week to just hunker down somewhere and study. He’s been doing this off and on for a while now, and we talked about making it a set weekly thing. God knows there’s tons of stuff I could read up on, and I could even use it as

Bleh

I was in a pretty shitty mood all day today, and it didn’t end until around 4:00 PM. Morning involved lots of little things and, before I knew it, I was in a company-wide benefits meeting to discuss Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment. A good thing to know about and have, I guess,

Picking Up Emma

We swung by Justin’s place (where Emma was taking a nap). We decompressed a bit before heading out for dinner as a group. While we were at Justin’s, we ended up splitting a beer, and digging in to some homemade applesauce and part of that chocolate cake I got. Dave and I also paused to

Nick Drake, Revisited

Meh. The documentary was alright. Our concensus was that the filmmakers did a good job with what little information they had. There were a few moments that were, in my opinion, spectacular… but there were equally the same number of times when the film just got a bit too artsy and touchy-feely for my liking.

En Route

As I walked to the Division stop to meet up with Dave, I noticed a Chinese restaurant on Milwaukee that I hadn’t seen before. I actually stopped walking and looked at the sign for a good long while. This reminded me of Invader Zim, a cartoon that I got introduced to a while back. The
