Kiki Version 2.0

I had a pretty good weekend.  Everything I did turned out to be really fun and you know that doesn’t happen often so I was pleased.

Unemployment has turned me into a new version of myself.  I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing but it definitely is interesting.  I think that not having specific things to tend to all day makes a person get creative when it comes to deciding what to do to make time pass.  I attribute my 2.0 version mostly to that. 🙂

Tunes:
Indivision – Femme Fatale (track is in player)
Stunna turned me on to these guys.  Love it.

Lets Pretend Kiki

Remember what a fun game that was when you were a kid?  You could play lets pretend for hours!  I’m pretending today by making up activities to do so I don’t get stuck in my house.  *shrugs*  The main thing is that it gets me out of my house…  we’ll worry about the delusional state of mind later. 😉

Fantasy Kiki

I’m getting back into the swing of things.  The jet lag is subsiding, clothes are unpacked, I picked up my car from my bros etc.  When you go away it’s like you get to live in this fantasy world for a hot minute and then it’s funny how when you get back it’s almost like that time didn’t happen because you automatically go back to your regular routine.

I’ve got some job prospects in the pipeline so keep your fingers crossed for me.  Woot.

And She’s Back!

Hi!  My globetrotting has come to an end.  I’m a bit sad about it.  I have definitely figured out again, what I already knew,  that I love travelling abroad.  I’m an international chick and just tend to thrive better when I’m overseas.  I must figure out a way to get some funds so  I can do it more often.  I can’t honestly say that I was happy to return to annoying cold weather and no job, but alas it is what it is.

I am soooo behind in my dnb world.  Shame on me.  Since I forgot the powercord to my laptop I couldn’t even update the mixes on my ipod so I don’t even know what’s out there.  I am excited to get back on track though.

Do you guys ever listen to Ros & Reza’s Soul Addiction Bassdrive show?  I’m a new listener and I love it.  Really great chill vibes.  You should check it out.  It’s on every thursday from 9 – 11 am CST.

Tunes:
Notion – Because & I0ta (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:

Signature Records is an awesome label.  Period.  I’m sure I’ll get through all the releases in the oldie section at some point.  I remember how excited I was when the label first started.  Love Calibre… but you all know that already. 😉

The hijacking laptops continues.  At the mo I’m on my cousin Nima’s roomate’s.  Woot.

Errands & Kiki

The day before you go anywhere always consists of running around trying to get your shit together.  This is what I’m spending my day doing.  I am also currently tearing my room apart trying to find my travel plug so I don’t have to buy a new one.  I’m off to London tomorrow.  I plan on writing while I’m there but I might take the rest of this week off, we’ll see how the jet lag goes.  Toodles for now.  Mwah. ❤

London Kiki

I should have just gone to London the second I came back from my Christmas holiday.  This week seems a little pointless.  I can’t really do anything productive on the work front as I’m leaving next week so instead I’m back to sitting in my flat waiting to leave.  Hmmm.  Complain much?  LOL.  I’m prolly just crabby cuz it’s cold outside and I don’t have anything to do but be stuck indoors.  I’m trying to bring back my positive outlook for 2010 so I have decided to only be grumpy while I write this post and then snap out of it. 😉

Au Revoir 2009

I’m making an executive decision and doing my end of year top tracks today.  I’m going to Philly today and then I’m not taking my laptop with me to NY tomorrow so that really leaves me no time to write.

Here is my repeat of end of year disclaimers…

My list is always going to be kinda bogus.  LOL.  The tunes I blogged about towards the end of the year are still fresh in my mind and therefore get more attention than the ones I blogged about back in the beginning of the year cuz I’m not sick of hearing them yet.  The list is in no particular order.  I have been told that I have strange taste in some dnb track so my list means absolutely nothing.  It’s just a compilation of songs that I personally liked over 2009.  We also must take into account that the latter half of the year I wasn’t as diligent about writing tracks down due to the loss of my job so I’m not as up on new tunes as I used to be.  This list is just of tracks that I would have been happy to keep on my ipod for the past 365 days.

End of disclaimer. 😉

I mulled over my list for ages.  I started out with 70 tracks and could only cut it down to 30 this year.  LOL.  I really tried to narrow it to at least 20 but I really like all the tracks on the list, so 30 it is.  Eek.  This will be a long post. 🙂

End Of Fuss Kiki

So Christmas is done.  No more people fussing about, which is nice.  I had a good one.  I really enjoyed the time with the fam.  I’m still in NJ.  My sisters are gone already.  Now it’s just me and mum left hovering over my nephew.  He’s still too adorable.  I took some pics but realised that I didn’t bring my cord to upload them so they’ll have to wait til I get back to Chi.

I’m going to Philly tomorrow and then New York on wednesday.  It’s nice that both places are just an hour train ride away.   I’m on a quest for more hanging out time but this time it’s with my friends.  Woot.  Hope everyone had a great holiday.
