LA LA & Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

These past couple of weeks have been a blur.  I’ve been studying non-stop and working like crazy.  I was in extra nerd mode because I was leaving for my trip and wanted to make sure that when I got back I wasn’t behind.  Sorry I’ve been neglecting you. 😦

I’m in LA right now.  Came to support my good friend George for his art opening and visit with one of my dearest and most treasured buddies Mollie.  They are both Minneapolis transplants and the best part is that some of my other Minneapolis besties came too, so it’s a fun group mini holiday.  I only wish the weather was a bit better.  It’s at least sunny though and that’s good.

I’m being very blogger like and  blogging from a trendy breakfast place with free wifi off of Sunset Blvd. 🙂

Tonight Stunna happens to also be here so I’m going to go see him and Bachelors of Science.  Woot.  If you are in LA you should totally come check it out.

I’ve caught up on so many mixes lately and there are some really wicked tracks floating around.  I know it was a while ago but dang that Seba NLDNB Podcast 2 is fire.  I love every track on there.  I also happen to love Seba so it’s a win/win situation.  I could go on and list all the mixes I’ve been listening to but I’ll spare you.  Just because I’m catching up on a month’s worth of mixes doesn’t mean you have to as well.

p.s.  I’d like to repost my usual disclaimer.  I know that some of these tracks I might talk about might be a bajillion years old but like I’ve said before, they are new to me.  I don’t claim to be an industry reviewer or what not.  I just talk about ish I like and if you like it too, cool. 🙂

Tunes:
Adam Tensta – Ok Wow (Seba Remix)
This is one of the tracks on that podcast that I was talking about.  This remix is so dope.  Luv it.

The Girl Who Avoided The Snow Storm

KikiLeave a comment

That was Lake Shore Drive.  Eek.

Sorry for the lack of posts last week.  The snow storm was quite strange.  All that snow was crazy!  I was ridiculously fortunate though.  The wind was so intense it was blowing into these huge drift piles.  I went to go brave the snow and dig my car out the next day and there wasn’t a drop of snow on my car.  LOL.  Seriously.  Spotless.  It had blown on to the other side of the street and the cars on the other side of the street were fucked.  Someone was on my side that day I guess.

I’ve been holed up at my place studying and working but I did make time to watch The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and was instantly hooked.  I watched  Stieg Larsson’s whole trilogy this weekend.  Noomi Rapace is fierce as Lisbeth Salander.  I hope the American version doesn’t suck.  Watch it if you have time.  Violent and a very graphic at times but still worth watching.  5 stars. 😉

I’ve been listening to a lot of Bassdrive at the gym these days.  I love that there is a radio station where I can just tune in and get my fix whenever I can’t find any mixes to download. ❤

Today’s Oldie:
Stakka & Skynet feat. Konflict – Bios-Fear – Underfire 2001
Sick tune!  Love this one.

Snowdump Kiki

Kiki3 Comments

We’re supposed to get a wicked snow storm dumping around 20 inches.  I guess it’s our turn finally.  This winter has been quite odd here in the Chi.  We’ve hardly had that much snow in comparison with other places and we haven’t really had many days in the teen temps.  I’m just excited that I’ll finally get to wear my grownz up snow boots that I paid good money for but have yet to wear.  I decided that last year would be the last time I would get my feet wet with cute impractical snow boots.  I got some serious waterproof action going so bring it on. 😉

The weekend is here.  February starts on monday, which means I begin the countdown to my LA trips with my besties.  I found out Stunna is actually gonna be out there the same time as me so I’ll be going to check out his show.  Woot. (I’ll post info on that show later)

Pencil Me In Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Many people have told me that the key to grad school is really just time management.  I would have to agree.  I’m getting better at it.  When I do what I’m supposed to do in the allotted times I schedule myself for, it definitely makes my day a whole lot easier.

Today has been pretty awesome.  I had the day off work so I just came to my brother’s aka “my library” and studied, listened to Bassdrive, talked in BD Chat for a wee bit, ate whatever I wanted and lounged.  All in all a pretty good day if you ask me. 🙂
