Wanted: Vans Chukka Low

Saw these at the store, I liked them. Tried them on, I loved them. They’re really room and perfect for taking out for a skate or just for walking around in.  Come mid-June, I will have a pair of these in my closet, if not, on my feet.

My To-Do List UPDATE

I can now cross one of the things on my to-do list! Refer back to the first thing I put on my to-do list. It was to watch the Japanese horror film Suicide Club (Jisatsu Sākuru, directed by Sion Sono). Here’s the trailer:

It was pretty crazy and I would recommend it to anyone who like a good suspense film and a strong stomach.

Another thing that I can proudly cross off my list is Have a House Party!  Although I didnt post it on this blog, it has been on my mental to-do list for ages. Huzzah!

Miercoles de Musica TRES

Today I will be sharing a B-side I ripped from the Postal Service Give Up LP that I archived with the iPTUSB.  It’s a remix of their song “The District Sleeps Alone” by DJ Downfall.  Enjoy!

iPTUSBWTFOMG!

So I finally got the iPTUSB, or the Ion Portable USB Turntable (Remember? If not, check this post!).  I came home from work this morning and I saw it sitting on the dining room table!

Those who follow me on twitter know that I’ve been archiving since noon. This truly works wonders. I recommend it for anyone who doesnt want their record collection to waste away in a damp basement or closet.  The best thing about is that it comes with Audacity software that you can use to cut out that white noise from your recordings AND it automatically uploads to your iTunes library.

Seriously, this contraption is amazing. Get it right now.

My Summer Chronicles, Continued

This summer, I will be continuing my summer blog under a new name: Summer Time.

The address is still the same, however. And I will still be updating on events happening throughout the summer and I will still be updating to this ol’ bloggo regularly.

Summer Time

Meircoles de Musica DOS

Hey kiddos. This is a second offering of Miercoles de Musica, or MM. This time around, you should check out the band I FIGHT DRAGONS:

Miércoles de Música

…or for those who are a little rusty in Spanish, that’s Music Wednesday.  Youre looking at the new segment of the Bloggins blog. The alliteration doesnt really work out in English…oh wells.  To kick it off, I’m hooking you up with free downloadable music that’s worth a listen.

Our first band is:

OZMA! Click here for a listen and free downloads of their music (thanks Pure Volume!)

I’m back. UPDATE!

I’ve come back from a three week hiatus (really, is this new?) Since I’ve been gone from the bloggo a lot has happened.  I finished all of my final projects and final exams and divorced school (until August, that is).  I’m pretty happy with the results.  Can anyone say 4.0 gpa??! Yup, I got a 4.0 gpa this semester.  I have also earned BRAGGING RIGHTS!

OK, enough about school. I’m back to working full time at work, seven hours a day, Monday through Saturday.  I feel like I have no life now.  Life should be an equal balance of work and play, consumption and leisure.  But really, is that even possible in a capitalist economy?

Anyways, I digress.

Besides school and work and not having a life, nothing huge has happened.

For those who have come back to check up on the ol’ bloggo, thanks! More updates will be coming up soon.
