  • this song has no chorus

    Nothing really of note to write about lately.

    Null entry.

  • to the bass

    Got another Hed Kandi album: Serve Chilled 3. I was suprised that HMV is starting to get a little smarter: the cashier scrawled “EXCHANGE #2” on my receipt. I wonder what they’re going to start to do with this… anyways, I think I genuinely don’t like this album. A little too mellow for me. I should have gotten something with a little more edge.

    Eugh… yeah. It’s time for one of my semi-regular lists ‘o crap! Yeah!

    • Finally got that UNNA upload form done. It’s ugly, but functional.
    • Working on NewtDump again. Almost have the ability to only export from specific folders working. Should eventually work for all of the built-in apps that support folders (Names, Notes, Calls, In/Out, Quotes, Fortunes).
    • After some discussion in NewtonTalk where people said it couldn’t be done, I picked up an old Megahertz Allpoints Wireless Mobitex card courtesy of a reader, and am investigating the usefulness of writing a new NewtonOS driver for it. Phew.
    • UNNA CD orders just keep comin’.
    • Got free SMS again via Me43. So that means that phone@chuma.org is up and running again.

  • right or wrong don’t matter when you’re with me sweet

    Man, over a week without a peep here isn’t like me.

    Still listening to Cake. I don’t like short albums, but this one is good. You must go and watch the video for Short Skirt Long Jacket right now. Now! Cake madness is upon us! Protect your children!

    Also listening to the Hed Kandi Summer Sampler 2001, which I got because it was cheap at HMV and I really enjoyed Deeper when I bought it on a whim a few months ago. I’m definately getting in touch with my house side.

    On Friday I went to the Radiohead show at Molson Park. It was fucking bloody well awesome. Not much more to say. Beta Band and Kid Koala opened. Beta Band was… less than I hoped for. They played a very quick set. Kid Koala came up next, and spinned for about 45 minutes. Just him and three turntables. He’s very talented; I’d only heard a bit of his stuff before, but it sounds to me like he’s gotten a lot better – I might pick up some of his stuff. Radiohead was… well, fucking bloody awesome. There really isn’t much more to say.

    The rest of the weekend was filled with stock car racing and seeing Rush Hour 2. I thought it was better than the first one, mainly because Chan stole the show this time around. Good fun. Also watched Heat on DVD. ‘Twas a good $20 spent. Damn I love that movie. Things I wouldn’t have known but for IMDB: Natalie Portman plays Al Pachino’s daughter. Damn. I never noticed.
