illuminate

i had another great day at work today, a little adventure, and mostly office work.
i did a little more tweaking to the website layout today and now i am at spyguy’s mixing it up live on the lefty/spy stream!
since i don’t have to work until 11:30 am tomorrow, tonight i am headed to hush. i am not sure who is playing. i heard something about czech, but am not sure. maybe i should check ravevictoria.com to find out! oh yep, it says there that it is czech tonight. cool.
yoseff and I figured out the december lineup for chlorine and it looks like it’s going to be great. i’ll be working on the poster tomorrow evening after work.
sweetcore!

bowling for another night

after much discussion, I decided to watch harry potter tonight instead of bowling for columbine, and then watch bowling another night soon, and also see harry potter 2 soon. so yeah. sounds like I have my priorities in order now. haha 🙂
a bit of a design-shift — not a redesign — of the website. sorta more like how I want it, sorta kinda. how elite is that blue up there now?
it is no less than zope.
i have applied for the nanaimo wave of the powersmart campaign. hopefully i’ll get it. i’m not sure about commuting, i could possibly stay with my aunt there, and come back 2 days a week. not sure yet. still have to see if i can get the job. november 29th is when i’ll know. if i was to get it, it would start on january the 6th, i believe, which would give me enough time to have a decent holiday, although i’m not so sure about travelling now. 6 days may not be enough time, and i definitely want to be in victoria for new years. there is always may for Project Cocoa as well, which i’d like to go to but i’m not certain i see that materializing yet for me.
that is all.

bowling for dollars

i had a wicked day at work. We were at Oaklands Elementary, which is where my dad works as a teacher. so it was kinda funny to be teaching his class about being powersmart after my dad had spent the last 20 years telling me to turn my lights off. hahahaha.
i was slated to do the play tomorrow with David and Angie. i had already talked with the two of them earlier (on Saturday) about it and we were pretty excited to do the skit together. however, i found out today that i’ve been moved to another school! so i wont get to do the play with them. drat. 🙁
it’s really cool being a part of a large group. you get to work with so many different people and every group has a different dynamic in any given setting. it’s quite interesting, actually.
i was over at braeden’s tonight. we were mixing it up. we were only an dual-RCA-to-headphone-jack-adaptor short of shoutcasting the session. i had even brought a mic so that we could do shout-outs! alas. perhaps next time.
so then, i played arctic exploration on braeden’s sound system and the result was much more encouraging than monday night when i played it at hush. i think that hush may not necessarily be a great place to sound-test tracks, as the EQ constantly needs tweaking on the sound system as the main volume increases or decreases. it sounded really muddled on monday night, but after tonight i’m feeling good about the track. monday i was pretty blah about it. blah.
oh to be hybrid. haha. 🙂
speaking of hybrid, their new songs Gravastar and Celebrity Science are rather massive affairs. love me some hybrid. mmm hmm.
tomorrow evening i am going to see bowling for columbine. who has seen this already? who has not? what did you think? what did you not think? how would you know that you didn’t think that without thinking about it?

dark


i have done nothing today, except for a small record order from HTFR. and that isn’t really any big accomplishment. i disputed a parking ticket over the phone, and i need to go to the store to pick up some stuff.
it was kinda weird. i played the first two hours because yoseff decided to take the night off. jim was hanging out for the first hour and a half and then left. there were about 3 people there for my set. at 11, when braeden went on, about 20 people showed up all at the same time. strangeness. i’m glad they were there for braeden.. i’m getting used to playing for no one. its disheartening at first, but after you do it a few times you realize that DJing is straight up work sometimes.
the set i played last night was really dark. dark darkness and darky dark. the few people that were there didn’t leave — they seemed to enjoy it. a few of the spec people showed up and it was good to see them.
now back to your regularly scheduled business.

coffee


today i am going for coffee with a friend who i have not hung out with in some time. this some time is .. at least a few weeks, but for some reason it feels like way longer than that.
every time we go for coffee it is really enjoyable. this person has a different perspective than me on a lot of things, which i really appreciate. i have found our conversations to be refreshing and sometimes even inspiring.
when we go for coffee, i usually drink tea. going for coffee doesn’t mean drinking coffee. it just means going to a coffee shop, or a reasonable facsimile, to socialize and ingest discussion or general blatherings. that is what it means to me, anyways. does anyone have any other definitions?
it used to be that i’d go for coffee, get wired up on cheap denny’s coffee, and engage in nonsensical banter about whatever. i’ve been a lot nicer to my tummy lately, not drinking nearly as much coffee. every now and then i have one, but i definitely feel it in my stomache later. meh.
jim just mentioned to me via ICQ that winter is upon us. in victoria, winter means straight up really boring miserable weather and chances of sleet and slush. bah! give me snow, heaps of it!

wheeeeeeeeeee!


work was a blast today. we took tonnnnes of pictures and worked on a mega powerpoint presentation.
leet.
i am going to go to ben’s place and we’re going to spin records. we usually shoutcast, so if that happens i’ll be posting the url here in about half an hour. 🙂
later tonight i’m going to go see 8 mile. i don’t really have any idea how this movie got 4 stars in the local paper, but i guess that makes it worth checking out, just to see what all the hubbub is aboot.
wootah!

popular?


i was giving presentations in Sooke Elementary yesterday when I saw this sign.
nice. so where does the curriculum focus on this subject of “right”? Great message, but I wonder how safe it is to explore that topic in those grades.
top two interactions at today’s booth in Family Food Mart:
1) old man approaches ketchup bottle stand beside our booth. iDawg tries to initiate conversation. iDawg smiles, and then says “i like ketchup too!” old man stares for a second, and then hobbles away.
2) two young (15ish) girls approach the booth and start talking to me. “are you selling laptops?” they ask. i respond “no, we’re giving away lightbulbs.” one girl smiles and asks “for how much?”
hahahaha
