'NOTHER QUICK ONE I'm waiting at mi casa for Picto to pick me up, we heading for a quick mango smoke & magic fries and then HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATZOS and then...you know it, ARRRRRRRRRMIN. Bert was saying earlier that Armin's a fitting last visit to ZZZZZouk for this winter, but I say the faces I'm seeing tonight make it a fitting last Friday. So to anyone I missed out, be at AVB tonight he comes on at midnight to one-ish and I promise I will hold as decent a conversation as possible with you on the dancefloor. GOOD DAY, YA'LL

HI THIS IS A QUICK PLUG if you haven't anything more pressing to do, come to the Open Jam Night at Night&Day tonight, Bala and her little trio will make your post-New Year's with a little jazz, feat. Jon Ong fresh from his first term at Berklee amongst all the budding musicians of tomorrow. 

Mmmmkay...directions, a la Bala. It's at Selegie Road, opposite this place called Tao Hui (I don't know, don't ask me). Park at Peace Centre/Mount Sophia, and from Peace Centre instead of walking up Mt. Sophia walk past it and then right after the first sari shop you'll see a sketch little alley with graffiti and all kinds of good stuff on the walls - walk through it and up the stairs. 

Drop by 'round nine, there'll be about three good sets with plentiful guest-jamming so if you feel inclined please bring your strings/voice and throw in your lot. 

PS I know ya'll know I'm home, for those of you I didn't get a chance to crush with my slightly-too-loud exuberance the night before last, happy new year's, I hope you all found yourself in good, good places at midnight. Will post again soon, meanwhile I must run and get decent before the gig, get me at 8452-3282 while I'm in Singapore xx

AH FUCK YOU EDDDZIE GODDAMNIT BLATANT PRIVACY INVASION, IS WHAT IT IS

Take my photos off your (whore)facebook I look g-ross. UNTAGGING DOES NOT SUFFICE k thanks

Edz: (from behind): So I heard you'll be in NYC! Playa you have to come over -

Shu: (disoriented, mid-fag): ...hmm? Oh hey Eddie (pause) EDDIE YOU WHORE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU TAKE THOSE PHO-

Edz: Whooooops, lateforclasskbye! (mad-legs getaway)

Shu: Really? REALLY EDDIE?

Edz: (mid-retreat) Nicebootskbye!

Eventually, karma will catch up with you. So will I - and karma/I will whup your Azn behind.

Now that that's out of the way...just over a couple hours to YOAAAAAK. (Yeah hi Eddie take my photos off, and I'll come over and help you deflect your grandma/make stuffing) Hope all ya'll flying home/to your respective turkey dinner locations were smart and went with Jetblue. Ze bruzzer's bringing his sexy Jaguar and my humble dreadnought (that I stupidly left at home when I flew back) - by some stroke of luck Chere's floormates have good fat amps lying 'round the place, so we're planning to collect some noise complaints all up and down Soho.

The color of the walls/chair upholstery all over the Pittsburgh airport always makes me nauseous. Going to get a bit of shut-eye before Jetblue fucks with my system. See ya'll on the other side

YAY FOR SCHEDULEMAN

So I got up at the frickin' crack of dawn this morning to get registered for Spring '09. The pickings aren't as slim as I thought...I think it'll shape up to be a meaty semester. Thanks to Edith/Prof. Klancher sitting on spots for me in their Ballet Russe/Romantic Period classes I actually managed to find myself overloaded - VICH IS SUPEHR, AS ZEY SAY. Now I'd like a little wisdom, guys, cause Scheduleman's telling me I have to make up my mind...or learn to body-split by January. Handy skill, but not gonna happen. So. Kindly PERUSE - the keyword is input, folks. Both classes with King are clashing horribly with Klancher and Edith's classes, colossal Catch 22. Molly and I were poring over the catalogue and she thinks any class with King is a Stairway to Awesomeness; her contemporary culture classes are apparently the cornerstone of the art-in-society grounding of CFA so...to blow off Klancher/Edith or not to blow, zat is ze question. INPUT GUYS INPUT. 

Now, to go plan the menu for the Dramaturg Dish Fest this weekend I'm the token Asian/non-turg thanks to gracious hosts Molly/Lauren in their valiant little compliance to "the cross-disciplinary nature of CMU's student community" - hah! Lies, all lies! If I live to see the day a dramaturg speaks a full sentence to one of the CS kids...but then again, not my problem. So anyhoos come Friday I'm the de-facto chef for the hungry drama hobos that are the sophomore Dramaturgs and I'm thinking carbs are the way to go. Well, well-disguised cheap carbohydrates. Slap on a pseudo-fusion name and it's all good, eh? And mojitos. Quickest way to a proud display of the Asian Flush. 

Have a good weekend, folks. It's not too early; Wednesday is Thursday which is one day before Friday - and come now, no one really does any form of cerebral work-out on Fridays.

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO THANKSGIVING
