So now I have a Tim Howard icon. Got it from streetlightsss. The keyword is "howardmyhero."

I also now have Psylocke (my favorite blonde superhero turned suddenly Asian purple-haired ninja) as my default, and Miroslav Klose doing some weird arm thing in another icon. I uh kind of choked up when he was subbed off...just something about the image of him walking off the pitch really got to me


I've been v v busy lately. But at least we get to watch World Cup games at Work 1 while we work. yesss
Also, my video skills might help me get more paid hours there than I might have recieved. I'm waiting on word about the project, but yayyy my other skills being handy
I listen to the other games on the radio while driving to Work 2, and then I put the live updates on the computer while I'm working, because I don't want to mess up their connection with video.
I'm still looking for secure full-time positions, though.


Happy Birthday to teaglass (I haven't seen you around, but maybe G can tell you I said hi?) and dear cookie hellopinkie!


And welcome to all my new LJ friends! I'm the weirdo with a Peter Lorre tag who likes busting open double doors and walking off into the sunset.


uhh....random music.

"Tell 'Em" - Sleigh Bells - I have no idea why I like this song. It's some weird breathy peppy pop song but with loud guitar and cool burst what percussion and street dance background. Free and legal mp3 from Rcrdlbl.

"Il Cielo In Una Stanza" and "Ore D'Amore" as sung by Mike Patton. Classic Italian pop songs, recorded today. I heard lots of praise for this album, and after listening to it, the thing weirds me out. It sounds all retro but then the sound is slick and there are little things thrown in here and there. I don't even know much Italian pop what is this

"Sadie Hawkins" - Doomtree. Hot and cool.

some music for you all


for those who want a new disco track:
Music Go Music's "Warm in the Shadows"
It's over 9 minutes and I'm dancing to it all!
really, they're like the dreamy indie ABBA with some hints and song lengths of Black Mountain


for a more folk song with a subtle electronic feel, here'sthe Thomas Bullock remix of "Bones" by A Mountain of One

in case you haven't seen it yet: Buraka Som Sistema's Blood Diamond mixtape
one of the best, most well-though-out pro mixtapes I've heard. I actually find this better and more cohesive than BSS's actual album.


another electronic dance music mixtape for you, this time with more cumbia:
Toy Selectah's Mex More Lp
I think Toy Selectah just lost his mind. Here’s pretty much everything you need to start your own Tropical party. There’s some club music, some reggaeton, some cumbia, some rock remixes, plus Justice, Chromeo and Boyz Noise Remixes and it’s Free! Be on the look out for Toy Selectah’s upcoming releases on Mad Decent and Bersa Discos.


can't watch the video right now, but this is the music video for one of my favorite tracks on P.O.S.'s Never Better

Inspirational/exercise endurance song of the year for me.


finally, I like how this song reminds me of a sea shanty, for some reason

“Reverb Nation free music giveaway. Yes, all free. 1,000+ MP3’s. http://www.reverbnation.com/windows”

so far, I'm liking Zombina and the Skeletones - "That Doll Tried to Kill Me"

Finally. I am done with the two papers.

I stopped flisting around Sunday, and I only let myself get distracted by music and ontd_lost. So if you posted anything you want me to see, leave a comment here.



I went and found some nu cumbia music to accompany my frantic typing.
You can get some good free tracks from the Bay to Buenos Aires label here and here (I recommend "Mundo Querido" from that last one) and free mixtapes from the Buenos Aires club Zizek.


After delivering my papers, we went to that food court place in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto area. Got some good chocolate at Alegio, and the guy at the counter let us taste these cool specialty chocolate covered sweets from Barcelona. aha I found it Enric Rovira. This little shop is the only place that sells these chocolate in the United States. We had to guess what ingredient was covered by the chocolate. I guessed the third one right - peppercorn, although I didn't know it was pink peppercorn. Really odd things, but they tasted good anyway.

now all I have is internship stuff and a poetry reading. Phew.
