I got a new ringtone!

LOL, no big deal but I'm loving Munga's Talk to Mi. Yes, it's slack but whatever:



Also Kartel's Wine Pon you:



Went to Prendy's last night with Craig and Greg. Haven't been to a dance in ages. Reminded me I like standing near the soundboxes and feel the bass in my chest. Must try doing it more regular. BTW David, food was quicker there we must go there one day. Speaking of, when we going to Chilitos?

Ahh, no meeting today, lol. Not surprised. Acting is still sticking to his car was stolen story but we'll see. That boy maintains his crown as the King of Skipping Work Excuses. SO Meeting is tomorrow, should be interesting.

still

I'm 27 in May and it sucks cuz I'm not where or who I wanted to be at that age.

Anyhoo, think I'm gonna take up a 2nd job, extra money plus I'll learn and get practice. SO I'm excited about that.

Music! Loving the new Twin of Twins(for my American friends theyre this local act that release a SNL-like cd parodying local artistes, hilarity) and I'm really in love with Stephen Marley's Mind Control. I was bopping to The Traffic Jam for awhile and now I can add Let Her Dance. And on the slow side Hey Baby with Mos Def, You're Gonna Leave, Lonely Avenue and Fed Up. Really, I love all the songs well maybe not Mind Control so much.

Amy Winehouse

my ears are in love. I heard about her ONTD! and I had net and time so I 'got' her album. Wow! I need to buy it. This girl is great. She has this messy, rawness, sounds like shes in some dive club but she sounds great. And I especially love the oldies feel to her album, Back to Black. And how can I not I love someone that uses one of my fave words, fuckery, so eloquently in a song? I'm loving, me & mr jones, back to black, wake up alone and you know I'm no good. Popbytes have two youtube links of her performing in NYC, check it out.

Boyz II Men have a new album?

Yes they do and it's called The Remedy. Why didn't I know this? Where's the vids? The singles, the talk show rounds? I wanna hear it!

not so bad after all

Went to the hospital last night. The ward looks way better than last time I was there they even have better TVs. Jazz still looks tiny but she didn't look as bad as last time. They still don't know when she can go home cuz she still has a fever and she was breathing hard. (She's in for pneumonia if Ive forgot to mention that) . I'm going to see her again tomorrow, gonna pick her up a book or something to entertain herself.

Came home to a BSOD last night, fun times. Then wen I tried to reboot it wasn't detecting my boot drive. SO I said fuck it and turned it off. Upside, I figured out how to use google talk in gaim, so when I'm in linux I can talk to Nich. WHich reminds me, he sent me pics of his computer that he built, way cool, I'll post them Tuesday when I get back to school. Anyhoo, windows box(the one that my friends lurve) is up and running, its a dainty bitch, I had to go to the hardware store and get compressed air so it will boot again meanstwhile my old comp, the Gateway that they ragged on has enough dust in it that some water and seeds and I'll have a nice little garden.

LOL, I'd also like to thank my friend Larry(his blog is hilarious BTW) for turning me onto Robyn, her last album, self titled, is real catchy pop. I got it cuz he was raving about Konichiwa Bitches, with lyrics like: I'm so very hot that when I rob your mansion you ain't call the cops, you call the fire station how can you go wrong?

Lily Allen = Great Listening

so for the past few weeks, the name Lily Allen has been popping up in a few blogs I visit regularly and Ive been ignoring it till today. I went to youtbe to check her out and watched her music video for Smile which I posted below. She's great! Her music is this great mix of diff genres, sorry but I'm no good at this but I can tell you I like every frigging song on her album, every frigging one. Her lyrics, cheeky smart and full of attitude and yet in songs like Littlest Things so fucking earnest. Between her and Blue October my ears are happy :)

mostly music

made two interesting music discoveries this week. Blue October, who's been out for awhile but I'm just finding out about them. Their album is pretty good. Screw all this pop shit, this is actually a good album. I don't think I deleted one song and the emotion, maybe it's where I'm at but I'm really feeling foiled.

Today I went to my friends' site for their magazine, BACK-A-YARD, and discovered that one of my fave local artist, Tami Chynn, has a talented lil sis, Tess Anne Chin. Clicking on her name will take you to her myspace(yes, I know, I'm not a myspace fan either but she has good music.) Her style is rock mixed with reggae/dancehall. And my fave song on it is Hide Away. She's not signed yet but hopefully she will be soon. I'd love to hear her album.

I need a vacation, I get a 3-day break from work starting tomorrow but I need a vacation from my life. it just blows to the 100000000000000 power. not that I believe in fairy tales but a knight in shining armour would be great right about now better yet, a frigging fairy godmother!
