And Three Hours Later

I'm finally ready to hook up the Ipod, let it run overnight and hope that all is well in the morning.

All this for some Lotus Juice.

As I was telling Bughie J., the words "my favourite Japanese rapper" should never leave my mouth but it's too late now.

Currently listening to: "Step Up" by Taku Iwasaki featuring Lotus Juice, from the Soul Eater 2 Original Soundtrack.

1. The Arctic Monkeys have killed not only my Ipod, but Beetchie's as well. And some random dude we found on the internet.

But I still want to see them when they come to NY.

The Power of Advertising

And Ipod Commercials have struck again!

First there was "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars. Cool song but I can't say I loved the album. TD5, you crazy. However, because of the commercial we all went scurrying off to find that track, yeah?

And well, I don't know if TD5 has heard it yet but there's the new commercial featuring the song "Flathead" by the Fratellis. I like it even though I shouldn't because it sounds a lot like that damned "Horse and the Cherry Tree" song (which I hate big time) but faster and with better/fun lyrics.

I'm sure the album might suck too (as far as I can tell, only an EP is out now). Buuuut, I'll just wait on TD5 to get it for me like he did before. Har Har.

Goodbye for now, Zarnyx; Greetings, Sariel

The Ipod Quest was fulfilled as planned on Tuesday.

To my Zarnyx, you're still awesome and never gone. Here's your mini-photo tribute:



And Sariel...oh the things you will soon endure. But it'll be good times, all of it.

I have to say though, there are a few things I like better about Zarnyx, my 4th Generation. Even though he was black & white, I liked that I didn't have to use the backlighting. Now I HAVE to use the backlighting.

I also liked that I could keep the click wheel volume on and I didn't have to hear it once I had my headphones in but it annoyed everyone else. Now, I can hear it through the headphones! Curses!

What I do find amusing about Sariel though, is the fact that when I'm scrolling through my extensive library, the alphabet comes up as it goes through the list.

For those interested, Beetchie and I also went to Kenka. We didn't feast upon anything 'odd' this time but here's what we ate:

a chunk of stewed pork
eggplant in tempura sauce
grilled salted salmon
some sort of not-as-good-as-the-regular okinomayaki thingie
fried chicken wings

It's Time To Play Or 2's Clues

Our adventure begins, not in a house full of animated pepper, salt & paprika shakers or talking mail boxes but actually on the train.

Instead of showing you all little stories of love, friendship and lending a helping hand (yes I know, it's sad to not ska-doo into pictures), I will just cut right to the chase and lay out Or 2's clues for you. So let's play and see if you can figure out what happened to Or 2 on her way home from work. But before all that, when you see "@*!$*&@?!!", it means you've struck upon an Or 2 Clue.

Settling into my seat, chatting with the BFF some and then drowning everyone out when -

"@*!$*&@?!!"

In our handy-dandy sketch book, we have this -



Then came the silence, then came the manual ipod switch, then came the boom, then came this "@*!$*&@?!!" :



A sigh of relief until the screen showed this "@*!$*&@?!!":



Literally. That is what I have on the screen. I mean, it confused me some because that image is of a second generation I believe and I think I've a 4th. So mmmaaaybe it doesn't apply to Zarnyx? ...

I was trying my darndest to take a picture but the train lighting messed things up for me so I did the next best thing which was to draw it in my handy-dandy sketchbook.

Now can ANYONE take a guess as to watch Or 2's Train Adventure was about?

Needless to say, Steve Jobs better come reaaaaal good next week at MacWorld or Chrissy's going to get an ass-cutting from me.

And I had this brilliant plan to forfeit upgrading this year, taking the same amount of money it'd cost to buy an 80gb for use in a weekend escape plan to London to see MUSE.

I see overkill overtime in my very near future...

Currently listening to: Well it certainly isn't my Ipod.

Oh, one last thing. Arctic Monkeys killed my Ipod.
