Snowblower Kiki
All the snow had melted, it was like 40° and awesome. (You’ve definitely lived in the midwest too long when you get excited about 40° in the winter 😁)
Then it snowed yesterday and we got like 4 inches that I had to shovel, because I couldn’t figure out how to get the snowblower to work. smh
Today was better. I decided that I would figure out how that contraption worked no matter what! #determination (It was easy, I’m just impatient and didn’t do xyz yesterday, coulda saved myself a lot of back pain!)
Success! And Macca kept me company while I froze my ass off.

Mixtape Kiki
I used to have so many rave mixtapes. I gave most of them to my friend to add to his amazing Rave Archive website, but I still have about 20 of my own personal mixes that I have been meaning to convert to mp3, and just never got around to it.
I came across them again when I was cleaning out some boxes, and have been having a field day just listening to them while cleaning, lesson planning, avoiding going outside in 5° weather, etc. So many good memories and so many good tracks.
I expected the sound quality to be super shitty but I guess they kept well and they still sound surprisingly decent. I also expected the mixing from Code Blue circa late 90’s to be cringe-worthy, but they weren’t half bad… even if I do say so myself. 😝
Here are some oldies that I heard that I’m definitely digging out when I go have a mix session after I finish writing this post. 😻
Yuletide Kiki
December, man. Once Thanksgiving hits, the holiday season just speeds away from you. I’m spending Xmas in California this year, and am totes looking forward to it. I haven’t spent Christmas with that side of my family in years.
We got our first snowfall finally. I always like to take a picture of it, because after the first one, it’s just a brown, gross, crunchy and slushy annoyance.
So many mix choices today! I’ll start with this Total Science, while I go work out and then see where the rest of the day takes me.

Technical Kiki
It’s Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’m gonna eat everything.
I was cleaning out a box and found some of my old mixtapes — stress on the tapes part.
My friend owned a record store in Minneapolis back in the late 90s, early ’00s. I didn’t have my own turntables yet, so he would let me come and hang out and mix records for hours upon end at the store. I would record all my mix sessions and then go home and listen to the tapes all over again. Acting like I hadn’t just spent 6 hours recording them. 😁
This one tape I’m listening to right now is all Technical Itch. I was so Tech Itch crazy back then. 😍
Technical Itch – Stealth – Tech Itch Records 2000
Drake & Kiki
I thought I’d gotten Drake out of my system for the remainder of 2016.
No dice I guess, cuz I can’t get enough of this Bass Controlla.
It gets so dark so early, and I wish it was sunny and warm again, so I guess I’ll recreate this past summer and let Drake hijack my music player once more.
😥
Pretty speechless.
Just spending the day listening to music.
Sunny Days Kiki
I’m missing the Mexico sun.
In my old age, I’m totes ready for those days where I retreat to my “winter home” in some sunny paradise.
I don’t mind autumn, it’s actually my favourite season, but sometimes the grey skies creep up on you and will def have you in your feelings a little bit.
Instead of being a mopey cow for no sensible reason, I’m mixing old tunes and feeling quite content. What else is new? I don’t own any new records. LOL.
I do actually listen to new stuff every once in a while. I just happen to really, really, really enjoy my old records. 😍😍😍
This tune always makes me think of Dj Kali. I loved our Code Blue & Kali tagteam duo liquid funk era.
Mexico Kiki
I turned 40 and celebrated my bday in Puerto Vallarta with a bunch of my friends. I had a brilliant time! Def a wonderful way to start a new decade of my life.
Holidays can be tiring af though, with all the traipsing around, gallivanting from here to there and the margaritas flowing, and I came home and passed the eff out.
Now it’s 2:45 a.m. and I’m wide awake listening to Calculon and pretending to unpack. Really I’m just lying in bed, hanging out with the internet. ☺
