This is Labor Day weekend. I am tangentbot. I haven't posted anything on my blog for awhile, so here goes stuff!

As I Tweeted (Twat? Twote?) about yesternight, I picked up some hella rude vinyl at my favorite Seattle record store 2nd Time Around last night. I happened to find Skinny Puppy - Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, which is perhaps my favorite SP album. Also, Skinny Puppy - Tin Omen-Twelve Inch Remix, Die Warzau - Disco Rigido, Orson Welles - The Count of Monte Cristo and The Trunk, and finally, W.C. Fields - Temperance Lecture (which is, of course, a comedy record). Anytime I can find old Industrial music on vinyl I grab it. The five albums cost me about 25 bucks.

My esteemed colleague, Jason, hooked me up with a copy of the new Ballzack album, titled "Yeah Indeed", which I must say is fantastic stuff. His sound is tighter and cleaner then on his previous endeavors, and while it seems to be packed with more local New Orleans/West Bank references it also manages to be more accessible. I seriously cannot stop listening to it (help!).

What else can I talk about? Oh, yeah, I've got like four or five songs in the process of being completed, an audio project (or two?) I've been putting off for basically a million years, and this ice cream I got at the Cap Hill farmers market is freakin' good.

If you guys want to get me some stuff, you know, just because, here's what I am looking for, currently;

• some decent, small computer speakers
• a Sony Vaio laptop for dedicated audio production
• the new Android equipped phone from T-Mobile, due out in October '08
• a list of great slice-of-life manga that I am somehow overlooking (inb4 Azumanga Dioah, Ichigo Marshmallow, Sunshine Sketch, Genshiken, Marmalade Boy and Yotsuba&)
• a (Bluetooth?) media streaming "solution" to send music from my computer to my stereo, wirelessly
• an 8-port USB hub

That is it! Everybody remember to floss, okay?

I'm going to be moving stuff around on this site... shifting priority. I don't have time to go into details, I just want to get back into a routine. Oh yeah, also, I miss being in Japan. I could tolerate this heat a bit more if it came with maid cafes, iced coffee vending machines and the JR line.

I haven't really had time to post anything, so I'm going to just start posting food! I've been busy studying Japanese, cooking and coding, in addition to preparing for our upcoming trip. I was kind of derailed last week with a cold that kept me from being as productive as I normally am, but I'm okay now! I made hijiki for the first time, a great success, and several other delicious dishes that I will try and post pics of soon.

I have been doing a massive code-clean-up on this site - offline of course - that will allow me much more flexibility in the future. I've also been looking at moving all the posts/images/etc. from my old Japan travel-blog, japanbot, to this blog, in a travel section of sorts. So much to do! I have a million pictures I want to post, recipes to write, music to write, a language to learn...

:3

Economists love the Nintendo Wii (who doesn't?)

The Moon Landing

Guess when I'm going to give you up... Go on, guess...

And with that, I am off to make curry.
