sense :: hearing // U.N.K.L.E. – Bloodstain
Thanks in no small part to Rae, I’ve been diving back through my back collection of CDs, finding music that I haven’t listened to in a while. When I was in New York and at her house, she played U.N.K.L.E.’s Lonely Soul, and when I started marveling at [...]
sense :: taste // a fine Cabernet
From the Vocaloids and I to you and yours, I hope you’re having a very happy holiday season – a happy hanukkah, a merry christmas, and a very very happy new year.
Yes, I’m being a bit facetious, but I can happily say that this holiday has been absolutely [...]
sense :: taste // fresh ground guatemalan antigua coffee
It’s getting colder. Not that I mind – I tried on my winter coat for the first time since last year’s cold – the one I had left at my parents’ because it was one of the many things in my arms when I fled there in [...]
sense :: taste // Dad’s gumbo
If you’re reading this, you probably already know there have been some major shakeups in my personal life.
If you’re reading this you’re probably curious how I feel, how I’m doing, what I think.
To your curiosities I respond simply: I deserved better than that. No matter what stories are spun, what [...]
sense :: taste // chicken wings
Well, among other things, the election is over (with stupendously happy results), I had a nerve wracking but overall positive trip to the doctor, and now I’m looking forward to another major milestone: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King comes out this coming Thursday!
I’m a dork, I [...]
sense :: smell // steeping black tea
The most irritating thing about working late in the evening is that I’m expected to essentially work from home in the morning as well. It’s kind of like putting in a 13-hour day, only my managers like to fool themselves into thinking it’s less than work because I’m at [...]
sense // hearing :: DJ Spooky – It’s So Late
My love affair with TheSixtyOne hasn’t dimmed by any stretch of the imagination. Leveling there is slow, but it’s oh so worth it to hear so much new music that I would never have been able to hear before. For example, if you’re in the mood [...]
sense :: taste // tea/coffee blend
I can hear string instruments in my head today. They make me think of empty seasides, somewhere chilly but warm enough that I don’t need a jacket, somewhere I can put a cello down and play. I don’t even know how to play the cello, but I’d love to learn [...]
sense :: smell // autumn air
I think we all have a core that’s ecstatic, that knows and that looks up in wonder. We all know that there are marvelous moments of eternity that just happen. We know them.
~ Coleman Barks
I really need to never ever not get a full night’s sleep before werk again. I [...]
sense :: hearing // KD Lang – Constant Craving
Sometimes I’m surprised when the world spins on without me. It makes me feel disconnected, alone, sometimes jealous.
Scratch that, I’m sometimes surprised when my world turns to a different beat of everyone else’s. It’s not like my world stops spinning, it’s not like my life grinds to [...]
sense :: taste // bloomin’ onion
It’s funny, I’ve had thoughts and feelings whirling around my head for weeks, and I simply haven’t had the time or the opportunity to communicate them to the rest of the world. So of course now, after much of what I wanted to write about and discuss is over with [...]
sense :: hearing // Kaskade – Everything (feat. Andy Caldwell)
So it’s been quite a morning, hell – quite a week.
Friday I werked late; maintenance and all. Each of us in the office has to take our turns, and I usually like the maintenance times that are on the last Friday of the month. Personally, [...]
sense :: taste // Sam Adams Black Lager
I’ll be completely honest, it’s absolutely delicious too. Definitely deserving of number 16 on the list of best 25 beers in America. So on this very late evening, It’s about 4:30 in the morning, I’m sipping the last beer in the fridge upstairs, and wondering whether I’m tired [...]
sense :: hearing // dl.tv on my laptop
This comic made my freaking week. It’s funny because it’s true:
click the image above for a larger view, or see it in its natural habitat
It’s very true, and just like the author of the comic above, Three Panel Soul (formerly of the hilarious MacHall, which I know for [...]
sense :: sight // hovering clouds
I can’t help but feel like I’m wasting my time sometimes in the office. I didn’t get into this line of work because I specifically thought it would be rewarding spiritually or personally – I thought it would be a good career move, and help me make use of the [...]
