I keep seeing the trailer for Magnificent Seven and this immediately starts playing in my head. 😂
Roni Size
Baby Steps Kiki
Got my motivation from Craggz & Parallel Forces today.  I’ve actually been quite productive in the past 5 hours. Nothing like a good oldie to get you going.  😀
Memory Lane
I have no shame.  I totally walk and dance in the street, all the time.  There are many times that I’m listening to a mix and feel like I just “have to” (dramatic much?) bust a move.  The people of Togane already think I’m weird so I figure I might as well just go full throttle. 😛
I was dancing to Origin Unknown’s “31 seconds” also known as “Long Dark Tunnel” but officially known as “Valley of the Shadows” the other day and was thinking fondly of my first record purchases.
My first foray into buying records I bought 3 tracks. Â “Valley of the Shadows” (a used copy that I was shocked and appalled that somebody was getting rid of. Â I was late to the party and didn’t start buying records til ’97, so I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to own it, so thank you whoever you are that let it go.) Â Roni Size’s “It’s Jazzy,” and Conquering Lion’s “Code Red.” Â I matched beats (badly) with those 3 records for ages until I could scrounge up enough money to go back to the record store and buy more.
I decided to have a little nostalgia party with these three tunes the other day. Â Good memories.
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.

You Still Here Kiki?
Yes I’m here. Didja miss me? Last week was hectic. I ended up staying home for a full week. I got a lot of essay stuff done for my masters apps. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to write, but know it was cuz I was actually really busy and not just cuz I was being lazy. 🙂
Fall is upon us and it seems like my schedule keeps getting busier and busier. I’m not complaining. I am not a person that likes to be idle.
Last week was a good music week. I saw Martyn in Millenium Park at the Sonar Festival which was awesome. Falty DL and Marcel Dettmann performed at the Smart Bar after parties. Mixed at a dnb rave. Really good times. Plastician is this week. As an electronic music enthusiast, I really can’t complain much these days. 🙂

My weekend was all about work. I trained at Smallbar. I think I’m gonna like working there. It definitely helps that I already know most of the staff there anyways.

Sze Chuan Kiki
One thing I like about Mike being in town is we always go out for good eats. Yesterday I had the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Lao Sze Chuan in Chinatown is awesome. So many options. The menu is huge. There are things on there that I have never even heard of before. All the food was non greasy and really flavourful. I will definitely go there again.
When I was in college I used to be best friends with this Chinese girl and her parents owned a Chinese restaurant in South Dakota where she was from. I went home with her once and eating at their restaurant was wonderful. When we ate dinner they made absolutely nothing that was actually on their menu. There were all these entrees that I’d never seen and they were so full of great seasonings and yummy. I guess it’s easier to keep the Americanized versions for us and keep the good good ish for themselves. 😉
Leaving tomorrow. I will try and write while I go on my two week excursion but can’t promise that I’ll actually get to. I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday! Safe travels if you are going anywhere and just enjoy spending time with the people you care about. I plan to. 🙂

Hot Vinyl Mess Kiki
Lately it doesn’t seem that strange that I’m up and at ’em at the crack of dawn cuz I just wake up and get ready to go to the gym. Today I have to take Joia to school to help Jessica out so instead I am lying in bed typing this post as Joia watches Sponge Bob. Hanging out with a kid at 630 in the morning is actually right up my alley cuz I can never seem to find anyone who actually wants to have conversations with me this early in the morning but Joia definitely has a lot to say. LOL.
I’ve been listening to a lot of mixes lately. There’s some really good ones floating around. I’m really digging the Faironne, the new Random Movement Podcast and I’m still listening to the Quantrek. There’s a bunch of others too but it’s just silly to list them all.
In other news, I’m in vinyl hell. One way I’ve been combating the unemployment blues is I’ve developed a sort of schedule. I just make sure I incorporate a bunch of stuff in my day to help time go by faster. I don’t want to be a lazy loser just lying on the couch watching telly. It’s not really a time schedule, it’s more of a “at some point during the day do this” schedule. One of those things is mix for an hour or however long I decide. This task has become harder and harder as my records are in complete disarray. My records used to be organised. I took an extended amount of time many years ago and came up with a pretty awesome system. Back then I had an abundance of crates and just sorted them out that way. Then I got this lovely record shelf from one of my friends and I was so excited the day I got it that I just started pulling shit randomly from crates and putting them on the shelf. Now the shelf just serves as a purpose to “put records away.” They are in no particular order and it sucks. I can’t find a bloody thing. I started organising them yesterday. *sigh* It is going to take forever. Boo. 😦
