Hmmmm, so this is the new place, huh? I like it!

Also, the vast majority of my intake today has been chocolate cake and margaritas, but when I feel more myself, I'll go back to the Word Twist.

(But I suck at it)

oh wow i am jealous. my day was laundry and being bored.

p.s. warning to everyone i am starting games with all of you

Well, I was with my family, so it wasn't AMAZING or anything, but I had a pleasant afternoon. I have accomplished ZERO today, which feels surprisingly great.

YAAAAAAY RUBYREDD!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

the end of an era. take care all.

and congrats to rubic hair

Greetings and congratulations to all. Anyway, I read this story and somehow Tombot came to mind:

The country’s market reforms also opened Beijing’s cultural armor, and foreigners began introducing techno music to locals hungry for sounds from the outside world. By the end of the ’90s, all-night parties on the Great Wall were drawing hundreds of Chinese and foreign ravers. The gatherings were banned in 2006 after reports depicting them as “wild orgies” surfaced in China’s state-controlled news media.

Still, Beijing’s appetite for club culture and techno beats continued to grow, in part fueled by the information and speed on the Internet.

“Before, there was no way to get this music, and I had to find it through friends who brought it from Europe,” said Mr. Wang, who organized some of the Great Wall parties. “Now we can go online and hear the newest Berlin tracks at the same time as the Germans.”

Jin Shu, a public relations executive who studied at Oxford before returning to Beijing five years ago, is thrilled that the capital is catching up to London and Ibiza. “Electronica is now more popular then hip-hop,” he said. “Chinese have more of a desire to see and compare themselves to overseas night life, and this is what they are hearing.”

TODAY, the Chinese seem to be discovering simultaneously the last 40 years of pop music, not only house and techno beats but classic rock, salsa and punk. The chaotic fusion of influences gives Beijing night life a creative, if hectic, tang.

“It’s the ultimate post-modernist laboratory,” said Dan Stephenson, 31, a Salt Lake City native who moved to Beijing six years ago and created the Syndicate, which puts on drum ‘n’ bass parties at bars and clubs.

So clearly tracks should be created to conquer Beijing.

guys, "been caught stealing" is playing over my office pa/sound system thingy. odd choice for a company that just got bought out and whose employees are sitting around waiting to be layed off.

Oh weird!

CONGRATS! RUBY!

ss: PSYOPS!

Anyone here like Indian food? Because I'm sitting here eating LAMBCHOP BHUNA on PILAU RICE with a dollop of yoghurt and life is gooooood.

...when local record store caught thieves in the late 80s they sat the person on the dunce stool and cranked Shoplifters of the World Unite. It's psyops.

well now theyre playing some song that is going "its too laaaate" over and over

suzy, please email me some of your Indian food, because I loooooove it!

I am playing no music at the moment, but will accept suggestions for what might drive the kids out of the house and into the backyard.

MOLLIFICATION IS A FEELING BY WHICH I MEAN THIS THREAD IS THE NEW INANE CHATTER THREAD

refreshing!

tear gas

xpost

Emergency! Help me choose karaoke songs for tonite!

xp John, always helpful.

tehresa - uh... anything by Abba? ;)

i am thinking i may honor my sis w/ a lil sussussudio

Arrange to send her a video of that; I'm sure she'll be alarmedtouched.

Where I am going next is the CVS for some mentholated rub.

If you are interested you can see my new appartment here

Cool!

btw, I just got a crazy forward from my mother about putting metholated rubs (such as Vicks) on your feet and then applying socks. I didn't bother to check it out via snopes.com, so it might be nonsense, but allegedly that stuff can help you even if it's not directly on your chest/you're not breathing it directly.

That's basically true.

BTW Ed, we found the Mexican hot choc as exactly described 2mn after I spoke to you! Kelly bought some too.

mmmmm, that sounds soooooo good.

Remember how my mom tried to ban me from going to Central Market because of the "criminal element" at Lake and Chicago? FUCK THAT FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS, we gots Ibarra!

I am getting ready to see an awesome show about heartbreak and amputation <3

starring Kanye West and the drummer from Def Leppard, I hope

oh hey Sara, what CDs did you end up getting A. this year?

i completely love that little dog.

I've got no idea how Willie got img posted there, was supposed to be a GIS of Ibarra Mexican hot chocolate.

gah, I'm freezing and my evening is so totally going to be homework and treadmill...

Dan, I wound up just buying one, the MSTRKRFT one (due to money constraints) - but I have preserved you guys' advice in a Word document that I look at often (my "books read" document, where I obsessively list every book I read). So basically I'm preserving your advice for further gift-giving occasions.

xp dog plus Mexican hot chocolate = possibly a very warm evening. Awesome!

I want to take both of them back to London with me but my mom would object to swiping the dog, even though we caught him humping one of his toys (a stuffed duck). That pic is very WAHT, ME HUMP?

there's trouble in oakland tonight! walking home from train station i see like SIX choppers hovering overhead, including one with a search light, than i see that a few blocks down there's about 6 cop cars... got home and checked the news, looks like there's a mini riot happening, the riot police are out.

and i'm home alone cuz j-dawg is out at colleague's birthday bash...

and even weirder: today outside my store there were these two dudes in suits hovering round like they were bodyguards or something. very ominous.

guys taht show was really touching and amazing, btw.

ruby, i hope everything is ok! this happened to us once in bushwick when someone tried to shoot a cop at the bodega on our corner, but there was no riot. :(

i'm a little freaked out. nothing like this ever happens in wellington!

oh hay itr i forgot to tell u last week: me and j formally announced our engagement! kind of realised it was time to tell the folks, and even tho this has been pretty much the deal for at least a year, telling them somehow made it more 'official'. and LOL i told them in an email!

lol congrats

hey is it bad that I would like to see everyone who was just dancing to Rascal Flats on The People's Choice Awards boiled in hot chickenfat

not at all, dan. not at all.

wow. congrats!! thats really cool. where will you get married? here or nz?

my father-in-law sent me the same thing last year and i actually did it to the kid because you know how frickin desperate you are in the first year to get that thing to stop crying and go to sleep and wow she did. prob coincidence though.

in chicago. we basically planned the whole wedding in about 15mins on new year's day! ceremony w/ just family at j's parents' house, then probably out to a nice restaurant. parents have promised to do whatever it takes to be able to afford to get here (can't pick a date till all the fiancee visa stuff is sorted, but probably sometime next new year), along with my lil' sis.

Sunny, the sleep may also have happened because rubbing the arch of the foot is an acupressure point for insomnia.

Dog above is dressed for wedding celebration, how strangely apt. Congratulations J&J!

check out my desperate ring-finding thread on ILS for all the stress i am under trying to find a goddamn engagement ring.

weird you get to choose. all guys over here in the south seem to do the choosing. not in aus though. its always the girl.

hell no am not letting jordan choose it!

i mean, i'm asking his opinion, and he's been very sweet about repeatedly offering to help find something, but man i gotta wear this thing on my finger everyday for the rest of my life.

fuck black ice, btw, fucking treacherous bastard

CONGRATULATIONS Just1n3!!!! Good luck looking for a ring. A. did choose mine, but not before he consulted with me about what I would like. (And you don't REALLY have to wear it every day; I mean - there's no rule...) Hope everything else is okay...

black ice suxors - you okay, Dan?

Sunny - yes, I *do* remember trying to get sick babies to sleep. Argh. Don't remind!

hey btw RUMORS i might be returning to making music with band RUMORS

i mean new band of awesome people but still hmmmmm

Cool! I like these rumors.

Someone photoshop John onto the appropriate face here (the appropriate face might be Stevie's):

http://adamanthenes.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/fleetwood-mac-rumours.jpg

lol "might be"

I'm okay but I nearly snapped my ankle. Grr.

thats some hardcore photoshopping yer doing dan

Oh, John, don't play coy. We've all seen you in fishnet stockings before.

btw, glad your ankle is okay, Dan. I'm not a fan of black ice - or really any ice at this point. I'd like to stay in my house until June, plz!
