Eternal Sonata, previously mentioned here, is the first RPG (or game for that matter) in recent memory that has gently caressed my subconcious, urging me to purchase an actual physical disc of delicious story-telling action.
The game is - for a lack of better words - pretty. It’s as if a decade’s worth of “Love [...]

Seriously… 70 minutes of bump, bump, bump. It starts with a happy vibe, moves into a lil Latin / Afro-Cuban (lots of crazy drums), gets a little insane @ the end and finishes with one of my favorite all-time tracks (thanks Jorge for the heads up!). Oh, and of course… some scratching to [...]

In one night, I was invited to chill with Ed and Lien… played Liar’s dice and won free beer, ate the most delicious fried rice from Sam Woh, met the director of Scratch (my ultra favorite dj documentary - and documentary in general for that matter) and chatted with an Adobe Flash developer who told [...]

Youtube link here (top link). Music: Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen. Just like V did, I made eggs in a basket with great bread and really creamy butter.
When you have a simple breakfast that is comprised of 3 main ingredients - bread, butter, eggs (plus salt and [...]

When it comes to a great Anime website, the community must be involved. Mostly comprised of a ton of people who haven’t learned Japanese as a native language, we (yes, I’m definitely included) don’t know what’s *good* until someone brings it from the land of the rising sun and we watch it. If [...]

This is a friendly reminder from all of us (OK YOU GOT ME, IT’S ONLY ME) @ allthingschill.com for you to backup your Internet bookmarks. Actually, you could even delve into some Del.ic.ious action too. I live in a world of traditions, so I’ve been visiting the same sites for weeks (which like [...]

Pork Stew with Potatoes, Cabbage and Carrots
Larger view here. A couple days ago, I asked Ryan for a BBQ recipe for some pork that I had sitting in my freezer. He answered with a pork stew recipe. ROFL. Crazy. So when I came home, what did I make? Pork [...]

Thanks to Mar, I’ve been really diggin’ on The Postmarks… as I posted on my Twitter account (more on that later):
“Listening to The Postmarks - “Goodbye” on imeem. Super chill, borderline kitschy!”
Apparently, I’ve missed the boat on this ’cause Pitchfork and Rolling Stone have been all over these guys since February. No matter tho, [...]

Youtube link here. Since my Xbox360 was pretty much fuzz’d, I figured I’d try to temporarily fix it with CheapyD’s (from Cheap Ass Gamer) 3 towel method.
I wrapped my 360 in 3 towels (ok, just a really thick blanket 3 x’s over) for 20 minutes until the THREE RED LIGHTS turned into TWO. [...]

Margaret requested that I re-upload an old mixset, Study Breaks: Volume 1… so uhhh… I did. Hee hee. One of my favorite mixsets, it’s a bit on the jumpy side… so be prepared to shake your ass! An excerpt (from the same post from almost exactly two years ago!) follows:
Since I’ve convinced [...]

Christopher and I (from this video blog post) @ Max’s of Manila. A lot of people think that the baby isn’t enjoying himself.. but I disagree! Don’t we look like we’re having so much fun?!?!? LOL. Of course, this was taken during Jaclyn’s visit. We didn’t even take pictures [...]

I’ve been really under the weather these past couple of days… which obviously means that I’m sick (boo). It also means that I have some free time to read (yay)! I just finished Haruki Murakami’s - Kafka on the Shore. Hailed as a modern Greek tragedy, the book bounces back and forth [...]
