I keep forgetting that I have this thing still.

Here's what I've been working on for the past five weeks.

I had an odd dream last night involving a curvy black female musician that I ended up going out with, and it ended up being really platonic and comfortable. Considering that I rarely dream anymore, given how much sleep I obtain on the weekdays, it's doubly strange to dream so lucidly and on a subject that I have not given an ounce of thought to in months.

It felt like relationship advice, really, doled out in a matter of dream minutes, quietly addressing almost every hangup I've had ever since I came back from Brisbane all those months ago. It was unexpected, and it was the most peaceful I've felt in nearly half a year. I ended up waking up and feeling more rested than I have been in a very long time.

I've been playing a lot of visual novels lately - recently finished don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story and I have some strong feelings towards its attitudes on privacy that I need to put down on paper. I also have the rather excellent 9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors, a genuinely disturbing thriller that might have been born out of a chance encounter between Jigsaw and Professor Layton.

As for WoW, it goes.

Here's to finding the time to write more.

Playcount: 12 and counting

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
It's probably because you accidentally backhanded them while flailing around to some Mother Mother.

Handle with care.



Eureka comes out March 15, 2011.

Lupe Fiasco and Peter Bjorn & John records, MGMT dropping into town on the 25th, guys do you know how excited I am








do you

EDIT: http://vimeo.com/20299194 Peter Bjorn & John vid wasn't working, so here's one that isn't gimped

Goodbye 2010. You've been a strange, dark year, even if you didn't start out that way.

Closing it out with Kanye West's All Of The Lights. Happy New Years, folks.

"As I waited in line to buy my coffee this morning, listening to the Holiday Smooth Lite Classic Treasured Songs Collection, Vol. 3 playing in the shop, I realized that somehow a huge Hawaiian guy with a ukulele singing a Judy Garland flavored mashup sounds more perfectly Christmas to me than almost anything else."

auuuugh hypemachine is down what will I dooo


(listen to dated WoW-themed christmas song parodies sung in broken meter, apparently)

If Kanye West is doing it, it's official: sampling indie musicians with harmonized a cappella vocals is a hip hop trope.

Kanye West - Lost In The World vs Bon Iver - Woods

Compare;

Jason Derulo - Whatcha Say vs Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek


Guess which one has the Pitchfork 10.

exceptindreams did a short-lived theme on dogs recently, but it's Richard Garcia's Adam and Eve's Dog that really dazzled me.

I'd write about World of Warcraft, except no one would read it. I probably will anyway

What else. The Social Network was good. It is creation myth and Greek tragedy wrapped up in the trappings of a Like-button generation. It's also slightly worrying that I find Jesse Eisenberg's take on Zuckerberg highly relatable.

Bands. The Good Natured are a recent find. Imagine Kate Bush fronting Florence & The Machine.

Getting sloppy. Distracted. Pour your heart out to scatter like so much dust. Same old, same old.

You say goodbye and I say hello

I'll see you folks again in 20 years or something.

Back.

And patching WoW. 4.76GB at 10kbps killmenow whydoncha
