Reset Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s April and this year so far has been a bit rubbish for me to say the least.

Doing a bit of a reset and hoping this course correction helps sort me out.

Saw LSB, Monroe, and Sustance last week in San Diego. Definitely stayed out past my bedtime, but very much enjoyed the night out.

Had a lovely morning workout listening to Workforce’s new Kool FM show. Loads of good tunes. 🥰

2026 & Kiki

Happy New Year! 🍾🍾🍾

The holiday season was good to me.
– Stuffed my face over Thanksgiving and spent some quality time with my family,
– Jaunted over to Sierra Leone with my mum for Christmas.
– Visited my dad (him being buried in Sierra Leone is bittersweet, as I don’t get to visit as often as I’d like.)
– Finished up the year in Wisconsin with my sister and brother-in-law.

January is trudging along. I’m just here listening to Emma G. This month’s episode has her all vinyl demo mix from 2006 and it’s so good! So many amazing tracks came out during that era.

Clink the image to listen.

Mondays suck after you’ve had an enjoyable weekend.

I’ve made new friends in LA, but it’s still such a treat to see my besties. Adult life is not for the weak. Navigating families, time off, kids, and packed schedules makes it hard to find quality time with your people, especially when they don’t live nearby.

I’m fortunate to have close friendships that span 20 to 30 years. Most of those friends are in Minnesota, Chicago, or overseas, so I don’t get to see them often. Luckily, one of my Chicago besties moved to San Diego, so it was nice to get a good girl hang in for a couple of days.

I really don’t feel like switching to work mode now. 😭

Listening to another one of my besties and working on getting this module ready for UAT.

Collocation Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m so stubborn about my collocation tracks. If I decide you two go together, that’s it. Mates for life. Soz.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a planner. I usually just mix whatever, but once I decide two tracks are an elite combo, I find it hard to not hear them together and I love riding out a long blend.

What’s even funnier is that I have ADHD, so my working memory is shit. I’ll always be like “ooh these two will sound super good together” and get excited about the combo and then I’ll listen to an old mix I made and it’s the same two tunes that I mixed together ages ago. 😁

Current life partners I’ve been mixing a lot are Fox and Satl’s “Revellin'” with Benny L’s “Pulp Fiction” remix.

Working and listening to Satl’s mix from this year’s Sun and Bass. I was there and got to enjoy it in person. Happy I get to listen to it again. 🥰

Early Morning Ravin’ Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Wrapping a project means laser like raving focus as I QA/QC my Storyline file checking all the variables/triggers etc. This is usually done while listening to drum and bass at full volume. It’s 8:18 am and I’m at my desk getting my 48 year old raver granny on and that image just cracks me up sometimes. 👵🏾

Sedulous Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I love words and language. “Sedulous” was my dictionary word of the day recently. I’m deep in the throes of building this project I’ve been working on, so I suppose I am actually being quite sedulous.

I barely have any meetings this week, which means I’ve been able to focus most of my time on completing this module. Hence the rare window to crank out three posts in a single week. 🤣

Currently vibing to Doc Scott.🤩

17 Years of DnB and Kiki. 🥳

I was recently telling a colleague about my Livejournal. Yikes! 🤣
I started blogging in 2001. I joined Livejournal and just yapped endlessly about everything.
I finally got so sick of myself and my cringy early 20s behaviour, that I ended that blog and created this one. At first I decided I wasn’t going to talk about myself and just post my fave mixes and tunes, but eventually, cuz I’m such a blabbermouth, parts of my life started to creep into my posts.
I still don’t update as much as I would like, but I have decided that I do like the fact that this platform exists for me after all these years. 💜
