CHECKING IN: on twitter, plurk, and (soon) facebook




(unknown source)

i'm dicking around with twitter, plurk, and facebook. all these for my new will-be fabulous site weeeeee! and i think i just might create a page for my page. how meta is that?

anyways if you're on twitter or plurk, and you happen to like my silly words and weird taste in everything, do follow me. i don't cause weird mental illness or nothing! facebook page takes a little extra work and it will be kind of silly to have a fan page when you don't even have anything to show for yet.

follow me on twitter
follow me on plurk

BITS AND PIECES: summer lovin'


Listening: i went to this music seminar the other day and the speaker said something like.. if you enjoy music you have to listen to more than one genre (i knew that). so lots of tunes i don't usually listen to are on my playlist at the moment. i'm giving trance a try, starting with paul van dyk, ATB, and tiësto. and to reward my open-mindedness i dance to joy division, just like the wombats do!



Watching: went to see UP in 3D on premier night (taiwan premier that is), makes me go awwwwwww <3 also, finally watched trainspotting the movie and revolutionary road. i really want to hurry the effff up and finish watching season 2 of flight of the conchords but just can't seem to find the time.

Wearing: feeling uninspired these days, maybe i should go shopping.

Reading: darkly dreaming dexter by jeff lindsay. no, not the showtime original series, but the actual book. i haven't read a novel for the longest time and find this read quite enjoyable. the character dexter is totally growing on me! such an enjoyable sociopath.

Wanting: my black hair back. weird.

On My Mind: i really am so enjoying this nasty sweltering taipei city august. NOT!

MIXTAPE: i call them summer hits


i haven't really been listening to anything new for awhile now. i miss being able to get pretty much all indie albums at red cat records, or maybe download whatever i want whenever i want. anyways, here are some tunes i'm listening to this week.

Field Music - She Can Do What She Wants



i wasn't too sure about them at first because their sound is hard to pin down. i listened to more of their tunes and now convinced that they are avant garde and catchy at the same time. what a combination. too bad the band is hibernating, i can't wait for them to come back. btw, field music says i can do what i want. woop!

The Strokes - Evening Sun



i hope someone will tell me that he loves me more than being seventeen too. julian casablancas (the lead vocal) is coming out with his solo album soon and i'm quite excited. go listen to more of the strokes because they are pretty awesome!

Architecture in Helsinki - Hold Music



i've been listening to architecture in helsinki for the longest time, but it wasn't until i saw this video that i fell in love with them. it's just absolutely bizarre to see a bunch of australian hippie nerds in brightly colored ponchos jumping on trampolines. how weird are they lol?
