I Found Some Hours For You Kiki

It’s funny that after saying that I don’t have enough time to write, I’ve managed to finagle in a couple of hours for the past 3 days.  It’s prolly cuz spring break is next week and I don’t have to frantically prepare for whatever is due next week.  Anyways, I’m definitely not complaining.

Gluttonous Kiki

Training was no joke today.  I ate for 3 hours straight.  They just kept bringing the food out cuz we obviously need to taste the menu and I continuously shoved all of it in my mouth.  I could have just taken bites but I guess I was in greedy girl mode.  The food is really good.  I’m kind of excited about this new place.

I have to be at work in an hour and of course I’m totally not ready.  These days I’m not even surprised by my scatterbrainedness… yeh I know that’s not a word.  This isn’t a good look for me!  I’m usually so on top of things. 😉

Green Bean Casserole Kiki

That’s my speciality.  I make a mean green bean casserole.  I have my own recipe but the main ingredients are still there.  I just add a few odds and ends to yum it up. 🙂

It’s been great being home.  My sister is here who I never get to see which is awesome.  Our house is chockablock full of peeps and that’s how I like it.

I hope all of you U.S. peeps enjoy your Turkey day.

Toodles.

Tea & Kiki

I’ve been consuming a lot of tea these past couple of mornings.  Actually having to be alert and active at these hours is requiring a caffeine boost, usually I just lay about and watch telly or traipse the internets.

Speaking of internets… My computer access isn’t that great these days.  I can’t wait to get a new computer.  My internet life is dwindling dammit. 😉

Bromantic Kiki

I would ask one of my friends to come to the old Lava dnb nights with me quite frequently and he would always say “is it gonna be all dudes in there again?”  LOL  The truth is yes.  Dnb is always ultra bromantic and it’s just something that you get used to.  Today I was listening to Lenzman’s Flamethrower as I was working out and the dj had thrown some Kemo over it and it just sounded like such a dude track and it made me think of how most dnb events are usually packed with men… oh and please spare me the comments about me being sexist.  I’m fully aware of the fact that lots of women like this tune.  I was just saying that the sound of it at the time with Kemo rhyming over it immediately conjured up the image of a bunch of dnb dudes in a club getting their steady screwface head nod going. 🙂

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. 🙂

Full House Kiki

It’s impossible for me to even utter the words Full House without thinking of this terrible show.  It’s amazing that it was as popular as it was because they weren’t even able to pull the wool over my eyes as a youngun, I always knew it was rubbish.  LOL.

Thanksgiving at my mum’s is just usually the two of us.  It’s nice.  We kick it, eat a ton and then go visit other people.  This year we went from the expected 2 person dinner to 11 people in a matter of seconds.  LOL.  Dang, now I’m going to have to fight people for the pie and ice cream.  Hey the more the merrier right?

I remember when we first moved to America, Thanksgiving was so weird for us.  It’s strange to spend numerous years of your life not celebrating something and then it becomes a regular part of your routine.  Now I love Thanksgiving.  I love hanging out with my family and I love eating all the food.  Big up Turkey Day.

Kiki = She-Ra

Had a pretty good weekend.  Summer’s are fun.  I love the sporadic spree of activities that come about.

I participated in the scriptwriting for that film contest and had a blast.

Went to Milwaukee on saturday to visit Dan and Monica and the kiddies and that was lovely just cuz I like my friends a lot.

Sunday, me and Caroline ventured to Ikea and got a bookcase that was a lot bigger and heavier than we thought it would be once we had put it together but we managed.  I believe in my She-Ra powers dammit!   I know this is a common thing discussed with Ikea products, but is it really that hard to write one sentence that explains how to put your shit together?  Sometimes one sentence can save the day people.

Spent  the rest of the day kicking it with Jessica and Joia and went to Wicker Park Fest.  Is the barrage of summer street festivals over yet?

Raptastic

I have 2 distinct group of friends.  My drum n bass posse and then my non-electronic music peeps which mostly consists of hip hop/rap folks.  It’s nice having 2 different types of events to go to all the time.

Last night I went to a Rude 1 show at Lava.  They are always fun.  People always come out and they have a good vibe.  I don’t really listen to rap/hip hop.  I listen to so much dnb that I don’t really have time to and I definitely don’t listen to mainstream stuff cuz I don’t listen to the radio so I’m usually out of the loop.  I like going to these shows cuz they play all the good ish that I know nothing about.  Good times last night.

Kiki The Loafer

This record brings back bad memories. I remember I bought it back then and then absent mindedly left my bag of goodies on the bus and the bus company said they didnt find it even though I know they did… What were you going to do with my dnb records sir?? LOL. Anyways I had to buy it again. Sick track.

I actually downloaded this mix from my buddy Doddi’s blog at the beginning of this month and have been listening to it on the regular. Really nice mix and tracks. I guess I just forgot to post it. Enjoy.
