All Things Chill

Quick! I added a few new things to the site yesterday. I threw on a module on my sidebar (the strip of info over -> *there*) that shows the general location of where the last 100 readers hail from (by city, state and sometimes country). The information comes via the gVisit information [...]

When asked to express what “on-the-go technology” meant to me, I had to hold back the blanket “ZOMG I <3 THE INTERNETS” answer and really think things through. Here’s what I ended up writing:
Having a blog and being able to post video / mixes / thoughts to one place (allthingschill.com) for everyone [...]

Jorge has a new mix out: Sashiko Session (Right click and select “Save As” to download). Adorable picture, no? The 90+ minute mix has a thick, juicy beat from the get-go and stays all up in the bootylicious-ness until the end. It’s his style… and nobody can touch it. [...]

Civic Center’s Farmer’s Market! 6 red onions, $1. 2 baby bok choy, $0.50. 1/2 lb. of green beans, $0.50. 5 large zucchinis, $1. One chicken mole, pork with red sauce, pork with green sauce tamales, all made by someone’s Mexican grandmother (I met her!), $5. Eight bucks for a [...]

What do you do when it’s 1AM and you can’t sleep? UPDATE YOUR MYSPACE PAGE OF COURSE! Yeah, I know… shame on me. Don’t feel obligated to visit the link… days might pass without you noticing. If you’ve ever been on Myspace, you know exactly what I mean.
If you’ve just recently [...]

It’s not official… but I’m not very impressed with Dashboard Confessional’s new CD: Dusk and Summer. I liked So Long, So Long and Currents, but not enough to justify the entire CD. Sadness. I also loop’d Nelly Furtado’s newest CD Loose while I was cooking dinner yesterday… and I didn’t [...]

No work after class today… and I just chilled the hell out ALL DAY. I took a healthy 2-hour nap and woke up to a grumbly tumbly. I found what I could in the fridge and I came up with a decent meal:

Baby field greens with shallots, Danish blue cheese and toasted [...]

Alton Brown. He broke his collar bone… FOR FOOD. What a guy, what a guy.
Feel better AB!

P.S. ALTON, PLEASE SHAVE!!! YOU LOOK SO DAMN GRIZZLED! LOL.

Yay!

I got out of work a couple days ago and was immediately hit with a wall of sound. A funky “trudattrudat” wall of sound. I was originally on my way to have a gin and tonic by myself at the local jazz haus… but I was completely drawn to the fat ass bass [...]

Wake. 2 hours in bed. Dream/awake state. Shower. New argyle sweater & slacks. Walk. Deny, deny, deny. 7-11. One rolled up crunchy fried thing, Powerade and potato(e) chips. Breakfast of champions. Walk. Enter code. Employee elevator. Hi Cat. Hi Ricky. [...]

The fog is apparently a big problem out here in San Francisco. I think it adds a bit of mysteriousnesssesses to this fair city. Lots of stuff planned for tomorrow. If I don’t see you (and you know damn well I will)… HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
XOXOXO!

Stop-motion animation + Kid Robot + Beck’s keyboard player + Makefunofself + The funk = Otafukurex.
Looks like animated bands are *gasp* becoming a trend. Thankfully, these guys don’t suck (their webpage breaks Firefox… but that’s just annoying). Their first music video “Do Me, I’m the Best” (LOL) is uber smoof [...]
