More Remix Talk

This is Jenn, new to our corner of the internet, don't be a dick to her, she's pretty rad. Haha.

I couldn't resist, and searched the Hype Machine for this, and it is making my day right now. This post in particular was an excellent find. Good god I love remixes right now, hopefully I can bust out a cd of all this new shit for my drive home tonight. A track called Overnight Star, a mash up of Sigur Rós and Twista, is definitely going to be the first on the next mix I make. It's just so awesome. Maybe the Lil Mama "Umbrella" remix will make it on there too, I hate the original, and Lil Mama, but the combination is spectacular.

Oh man, last night was my sisters Graduation (congratulations) and Rachel and I decided to get drunk before going to it. We managed to do a decent job of that, and then amazingly timed our appearance about three people early, so that was awesome. The walk home was fun, even though the paths behind my house make no sence and we had to backtrack more then once.

Anyways, work sucks, but I gotta do some of that, later internet.

Remix ReMix Re-Mix

I just found a site called Palms Out Sounds which has a feature called "Remix Sunday's" which is awesome. I've really been digging remixes lately, and they have about ten new ones a week. So cool. I could find a lot more if I felt inspired, but I would probably overdose on them, and end up ruining remixes for myself, so I won't do that.
I'm pretty excited for the weekend, Big party on Friday, small chill times on Saturday, and an Acoustic show Sunday followed by some park hangouts, and probably another small party. Should be excellent, oh, and I plan to use my bike all weekend, partly just because I want to ride it, but also because I want to find out if it can be used as my main weekend vehicle, and I can really only find out by trying. So that may be eventful.
That's really all I've got for you right now Internet.

Do the M.S.T.R.K.R.F.T.

HAHA

That pretty much made me piss my pants.

I just remembered I'll have to go out on site today, see who's all working today, and what they are working on. That'll be a nice way to kill what is left of my afternoon after I do this post. This morning was pretty rough, slept through my alarm again this morning, and when I finally did get to work I only had a few things to do. Oh well. I was exhausted so even if I had had things to do I probably wouldn't have done them.

This weekend I got to see Caspian play again which was fun. We met Courtney Lynn as well, who I was digging, I looked her up on myspace this morning and listened to more of her stuff, and you should too. I also went to the "Classics Against Cancer" car show, which has become a yearly thing, at least over the last few. Dad had his car there, and I ran into Mike who I hadn't seen in ages, that was pretty cool.

Anyways, I just added the link to her myspace, and got distracted and listened to music for a while, so I'm going to head out on site and screw around out there for a bit. OH, and if you want the MSTRKRFT version of D.A.N.C.E. by Justice, check this out, and find it hosted somewhere and you can download it. Good stuff.

Inter-nuts

I don't know if I've posted about this site before, but It's called Ruined Music , and It's all stories written by people who have had certain songs (or even whole bands) ruined by people in their lives. Sowing Season by Brand New was just added yesterday and is a pretty good example, but go through the archives and find more, they are interesting reads. (First Day of My life - Bright Eyes, Details - Frou Frou, Title and Registration - Death Cab For Cutie, Letter From Belgium - The Mountain Goats are a few favourites)


Dudes, check out this Face Research site, you pick what faces you like (they aren't all that attractive, but whatever, pick the ones you hate the least) and then the site compiles them to make you an average decent looking person. It's pretty cool. This is I think six different people in one. Pretty strange (strangley attractive, because this person doesn't exist, it's like X-files or something).



Anyways, I don't know how this will look when I post it because the picture is throwing everything off, but whatever.

This is strange

Man alive, I've been noticing so many things today/yesterday that seem to hit home as of now. I've got to learn to avoid them, or get over it or something.
-"Burn" by Usher.
-To a lesser extent "Not over you yet" by Kevin Devine.
-Going to funeral visitation where the guy just lost his wife.
-Stuck in a car for an hour with my parents while they sit and hold hands.
Damn, I'm sure posts like this will be what the next few consist of, so sorry for that.

Anyways, I just got an email from Chapters, so now my inbox has 1234 unread emails. That is seriously pathetic, I need a new email address, because I can probably safely assume that 1230 of those are junk mails.

Anybody want to hang tonight? The funeral I thought I'd be going to is during the day today, so I didn't take the day off, and now also have tonight free. Big ups to that, but I want to be busy. So yeah, call me or something. Back to work for me, later duders.

FUCK

Seriously, Fuck this week.
I've got to many things to do out side of work and not enough time, and at the same time not enough to do at work, and plenty of time that's wasted there. Anyways, as I'm sure whoever reads this already knows, I'm single as of Friday. This weekend I managed to stay busy so I still had a good time, but last night, and today with nothing to do it's hard not to dwell on it. Not looking forward to the rest of the week being like this during the day.
Tonight I've got a funeral visitation to go to.
Tuesday is the actual funeral, I don't know if I'm going to that.
Wednesday I've got some mandatory meeting at night which sucks because I don't want to be around people I work with outside of work.
Thursday I need to get my car serviced.
Friday I guess I have to pick up my bike from Laura's because it is a fucking shit bag and stopped working the day I got it insured.
I feel like I've made no progress on the whole "saving for a house" thing, which sucks. All my money just seems to disappear lately.
All little things I guess in the scheme of things, but I just feel shit on right now. Oh well, hopefully Wasaga happens this weekend because that would make my life, especially if all kinds of people come along.
Anyways, things will get better, and hopefully this "stress ball" mood ends after this week, and goes to a normal good busy or something. Back to not working for me, I could use a smoke "break" anyways.

Onion

I got bored and spent some time on The Onion today.
