I just did the longest homework assignment. It wasn’t even a paper. It pretended to be a simple assignment under the guise of “review” a blah blah blah, but include a, b, c, etc. It took about 5 hours to do. 😩
Lenzman, Submorpics and Tyrone kept me company for 2 of those 5 hours, so it wasn’t all bad. 🥰
Weekends are for homework. There’s so so so so much reading. It’s not like I forgot what graduate school was like from my first master’s. I remember it all too well. LOL. Not sure why I thought round 2 was going to be any different! 😩😩😩
I’ve been enjoying the Drum & Bass Arena podcast lately. I don’t usually listen to it. It’s a great addition to the rotation.
Ha! I am getting better at it though. It’s all about doing things in the window you allotted for it. If you don’t… 😐 and the only person you have to blame is yourself, which can really eff with your day. Peace of mind is all we’re after, right?
Today is starting out good because I didn’t dilly dally.
Gonna listen to this Monty mix and finish planning my lesson.
Enjoy. 🥰
So bummed out by this. I have many fun memories hanging out with him in my early raving days in Minneapolis. Listening to him emcee at raves was so hype. Rest in Power.
Got the the alloting time for all my tasks sorted… kinda. Just working and listening to a super old mix. 🥰
Work, work, work, work, work, work.
Been listening to this Tatora studio mix of unreleased tunes. So good.
When I first started mixing back in ’97, a really great group of dudes let me join their crew. I hung out with them all the time and got to obsess over jungle as much as I pleased with non-stop mixing, non-stop Kool FM tapes, and endless raving. I think back on that period of time so fondly because of this crew.
Here’s a retrospective mix beautiful mixed by one of those dudes and co-anchored by another. Living in Minneapolis and rolling with JVC was such a fun and wild ride. Dave and Sean, you killed this mix.
So many great classics. That Dj Zinc remix of Congo Natty’s Junglist… always a banger. This mix def transported me back to raving in sweaty basements and having the time of my life.
Great memories. 💟
Woke up feeling good. Ready to attack the day. Listening to the North Quarter on Echobox.
I’m not going to get too in to it, but people derailing your grieving process sucks. I’m just taking everything in stride. My dad has been gone for 1 year and there are still people taking actions that hinder me from getting closure. It’s definitely not fun. I’ve moved on from crying because I’m sad to crying because I’m angry. Is that growth? 🙃
My new position at work has me back to working 8 hour days. I’m enjoying it, but I’m trying to get used to working at home 8 hours a day. When we first went to WFH, I was furloughed and only teaching part time in the evening. I spent my days as I pleased and had more than enough time to prep for my evening classes. Now I’m back in grad school and working from home full time. I fully understand that others have been trying to find this balance for the last 2 years. I’m new to the game though, so my time management definitely needs a little tweaking. I’m working on it.
I’m listening to old old old old old Andy C mixes. It’s funny to be doing serious work and be sitting at my desk full on raving with the volume at 100% at 10 am.
This came on and it made me really happy. This tune is 22 years old. 😲
Still on that French tip.
January done. School started again. I forgot about how you get long ass holidays when you’re at university. I def enjoyed my month off.
Up late. Thinking about my dad. Listening to some Alix Perez while I do some homework.
Alix Perez has a monthly on Rinse FM. This mix made all my French dnb dreams come true. I’ve listened to it loads already. So many great tunes as well as a guest mix from Monty and Visages?! Inscrivez-moi!
School started again today. Back to being a student and spending the majority of my day trying to organize my time effectively, while being a top tier procrastinator. 😂
Listening to some Gest.
