I left work early yesterday feeling some cold symptoms, and tired. I actually thought the cold medicine (from Tues night) was doing most of the tiredness, but since the feeling sustained through today I guess not.
I am gonna go work tonight; we are short again this week and I feel the obligation to cover my nights if I'm 90% (and I guess I am)....

Yes, I agree, they just don't make scandal's like they use to.

I turned the heat on last night and cranked it up to 80. That's what I call warm. Warmer than before? Yes, but not warm enough for this princess.
Has it been 4 days since I updated? Seems like less.
Busy was Fri night. Good party at DC again. Dresden Dolls show exceedingly enjoyable. Aside from the band being nutty good, the audience seems to take it as an opportunity to put on the dog, get dressed up (and hey, here's a link to some o them!). Loved the Infinite Marionettes- a man...

Well, that funkassrot smell in the hallways and elevator is mostly gone, but it still rears is ugly head from time to time. I don't think it smells bad in here, per se, I just worry about these things for some odd reason. Why I'm concerned about whether or not people I don't know and likely will never meet will think I'm a slob, I couldn't say, but nevertheless that seems to be the case.

Sadistic Mika band was one of the first Japanese "new wave" whatever bands that I came across when I was growing up, that and The Plastics... Unfortunately I've only ever found a smattering of songs by the Sadistc Mika band.
When, three years ago, he formed a rock band, Kazuhiko Katoh ran into more than a little local opposition: the locality being Tokyo - the world's largest and most technologically advanced urban complex, simultaneously one of the most resistant to changes of attitude. The Japanese music business didn't appreciate Kazuhiko's move, not only beacause he was abandoning his position as one of the country's biggest solo stars, but also because a rock band was not considered a viable proposition in itself - it was suicidal, they said, to complete with Western rock 'n' roll on its own terms.
Which was precisely what Kazuhiko intended to do: no mere duplication of Western nabds - which in Tokyo would have been a safer bet commercially - but an original style of music. He sought out four of the most accomplished musicians in the country and together they began writing and rehearsing their own material, evolving an individual brand of music. It was bona-fide rock 'n' roll; it was also distinctly Japanese.
They became the Sadistic Mika Band. The name remains a mystery. Any explanation offered is likely to hide the truth; the Japanese after all are ultra-polite. (Certainly Tokyo is the world capital of S. & M., bondage and other arcane leisure activities). Anyway, Mika joined the band, as singer, odalisque and iconoclast. Beautiful, extrovert and unpredictable (by Japanese standards a total eccentric), she completed the band's line-up and clinched its distinctive identity: both musically and visually, original, sophisticated and bizarre.

Saturday- worked, then didn't go to the Isadora - Antimony - unfound get-together (lack of immediate sleeping quarters) and have regretted it since (I coulda just stayed elsewhere- Red Roof friggin Inn). Read Tobias Wolff's The Barracks Thief; good, sad novella.
Sunday- Indian brunch drinking Ribena soda watching Bollywood stuff again. (That's like 3rd or 4th Sunday in a row.)...

Yes, the box has 28 or so unreleased tracks (in the US) and a DVD and some stickers. I thought $20 was a very good price and I got to have Laetitia sign it!!

Let's see... There are lots of beaches and maritime museums. I don't know if youre interested in "haunted" places but there are some of those too. I love hanging out at lighthouses.
