Day 35: the aftermath...

So, it was over, Yukigayaotsukapolooza 2007 had been relinquished to history. I woke up sunday morning with the memories of another dream about work. This time I was working in a Sushi shop back home called "twister". Stupid name, yes! Anyway, at said sushi shop I only worked 2 hours a day, and only in the morning. I never did any work, and I never saw anyone else doing any work. One of my co-workers gave me a sneak peek at my performance review, and to my surprise the grades weren't so great... I scored a C, B-, C, and a D in 4 unknown categories, but the worst part was that it said I was "improving quickly"! What were my scores before?! In this shop there was also a magic door that would lead to the bedroom of whoever walked through it... weird. Lastly, the strangest part was that Doogle was also in the dream, he had a dream to go to Hollywood and join a boy-band, but reported to me sadly that he was giving up his dream. I felt very sorry for him. Doogle! Don't give up your dreams!

Having shockingly woken up at the ungodly hour of 8:30 I wasted a bit of time taking a series of stupid pictures, culminating in this:
Next, mornin and I played some ping-pong, and I rocked! I know how to work a paddle! Especially when a ball's involved...


Finally, enjoyed a night out of Yukigayaotsuka at Cli Cli in Nagahara, and had a wonderful hamburger! Here's kinda what the place looked like. The place is pretty new, and the staff doesn't really have the gig down pat. There were several mistakes made regarding orders for us, and people at the tables around us, but the food was pretty high quality, so all is forgiven, I'll be back!


So, that was the weekend, I enjoyed, hope you did too, and see you for Yukigayaotsukapolooza 2008 hopefully!

Day 34: Yukigayaotsukapolooza, day 2

Day 2 was uneventful for the most part until the late afternoon when Tora showed up. The morning was spent mostly recording some new music, and enjoying my typical lunch during my hiatus. Everyday, around 2 in the afternoon, I head over to the Ozeki supermarket and the bakery next door to it. At the bakery I pick up the sweetest little sandwich around, a 210 yen gem filled with Chicken, lettuce, tomato, cabbage and some tasty-ass sauce. Here she is, the bread of life!

After I pick up my sammich, I usually drop into Ozeki and pick me up a few cans-o-coffee and head back to the palace.
Boring as can be, but hey, that's my life for the past 30 some odd days.

As I said, Tora showed up in the late afternoon and we sparked up the Wii, and popped some tops as well. Later, Morning showed up and we all headed to the best Curry shop around, Soul Food. I suggest the "steak curry rice" if you stop in, 1200 yen, and worth every penny, or rather, yen.

Yukigayaotsuka should really pay me for all the free advertising that I give them, in fact, I really wish that they would pay me... Anyway, that was about it, headed back, stuffed, and played a few drinking games, some more Wii, and crashed. Thanks for coming Tora!

Also, earlier in the day, I ran out of tissues, see!

Day 33: Yukigayaotsukapolooza, day 1

Day 1 of Yukigayapolooza went alright. It wasn't the big shin-dig that I had envisioned, but you know what? That's just cool with me. I've always been kinda more the close friends kind of person. I don't really like meeting people. I don't really care for making friends. The whole deal reminded me of my old b-day parties, and it made me happy. When I was a kid, and mommy was organizing the ol' b-day madness, you know, down at BK, at a pizza parlor, or even at the house, there were always tons of kids. I was always good at making friends, comes with the territory. When you go to 6 elementary schools in 5 years, you get good at making new friends. Sad story, I know. When I got older and it was up to me to pick who I wanted to come, it usually came down to 3-4 people, including me. That's how I always liked it. I've made some really good friends here in Japan, and for the most part, they were all here. That's what made me happy. Thanks Doogle, Deuce, Melvis, Kangaroo Jimmy, and Morning for coming! I had fun, hope you enjoyed it too. Drinking and playing Wii, what more could one ask for? It was plenty for me, it was very "wabi-sabi"! Wabi-sabi is a great Japanese term, meaning something like "simple elegance" and it's in that simplicity that there is beauty. Thanks all.

vol. 2!

here's the special "yukigayaotsukapolooza cast"! enjoy!

Day 36: another episode?

A special Yukigayaotsukapolooza episode is in the can! Unfortunately, the site I usually upload my greatness to is going with some server maintenance (bastards!) currently. So, as soon as they are finished fuckin' around, vol. 2 of the no airplay experience will be up here for all to enjoy! You lucky people!

p.s. I'll put up some posts about the weekend later, all with tantalizing photographs! I put up one of my "6 months lost" posts, but since I actually wrote it back in May, it shows up as being posted back then, so if you are daring enough to read it, you'll find it in the "doomed to repeat it..." section.

p.p.s. to those I asked for music from, WHERE IS IT!?!?

that's it

Day 33-34: YUKIGAYAOTSUKAPOLOOZA 2007!

Today is gonna be the rock! Time to let your hair down, and rock the fuck out! yooooooooooow!

vol. 1!

Here is the first vol. in the greatness of me. WARNING! the bumper for the Japanese part of the show is VERY LOUD! Also, the sound quality isn't the greatest because I had to shrink it down to get it up on-line, next time I won't shrink it quite so much.

Day 32: off the deep end...

Last night was full of dreams, dreams about work. I was working, I was late for work, I was going to work, you get the idea. The weirdest dream of the night was by far the "meat document" dream. "Meat Document" was a term used to refer to a person in an German uber-porno in a conversation between a mother and child (I think it was the mom and son from heroes maybe) represented as Pizzas sitting in chairs at Taco Bell on a storyboard on somebody's blog... I was working in Taco Bell, but didn't work at Taco Bell. I think I was a detective and was following the trail through Taco Bell... It was weird, disturbed...

Day 31: Waxing poetic... I need a job...

So, I watched Family Guy today, and there was a scene where Jafar is getting his vision checked. I always got nervous during this test because I always thought that maybe 5 was better than 6, and 3 was better than 2 and now I'm gonna get crappy glasses! Ahhh! Anybody feel me? It's a lot of pressure to deal with... That's it, stupid musings. I need a job!

By the way, anybody know that this thing is called a "Geraet Beim Optiker"?

Day 30: the overhaul...

Well, today, again avoiding studying, I decided to overhaul No Airplay. So, here it is, in all it's new glory for all to enjoy! So... enjoy! I also worked on the "Home by 8 Drunk by 10" stuff, and hopefully (but probably not for the best) we'll see it up on iTunes soon. There's a link on here now.
