- Things have been pretty up and down recently and for no real reason. I think it's partly because I am pretty isolated for inordinately long periods of time, partly because of the delicious hormone soup that is stewing in my body.

- My roommate invited me to his uncle's place last night for a family dinner. It was quite nice. I don't hang out much with this particular roommate and I have never eaten real Filipino cuisine (which was fucking delicious). I pretty much gorged myself.

- So I blogged about the Tenori-On a while back. I still would totally buy one if not for the fact that it's 599 British pounds.

However, I did happen upon a whole album composed by a Norman Fairbanks using only the Tenori-On. The album, entitled 7 Days Microsleep, is downloadable at his site but I've uploaded it to Yousendit here to make it slightly easier.

The album consists of eight songs including the bonus track. It's pretty chill, easy-listening electronica for when you are just closing your eyes to sleep or lounging about the house on a particularly lazy, obligation-free day.

- In naming my guitar, I am trying to decide between Raina and Perdita.

Oh and the blog title is from that movie Orange County.

The song on repeat:
The Clear and Conscious - Mother, Father

Love and Peace

Oh my gosh, the Tenori-On is so cool. I want one!
Mmm, hormone soup.

Yeah, the Tenori-On is pretty amazing. I sort of wish that album had video too. The visual aspect of it is half the fun.

And yes, hormone soup is quite tasty.

It totally breaks my heart that they're only shipped within the UK. And also that it's 599 pounds. If only I were rich and British, if only...

I just like the way Perdita sounds and how it means "lost" in Latin.

If only, Anna. If only...

Doesn't the guy from Muse use one too? I also love how planned out your blogs are and the musical choice at the end. Your blogs are like an actual blog, its lovely.

Kirsten - Hahaha, I like Perdita (the cat) and her eyes.

Minimus - I thought Colin Hanks was pretty good, and the story is very relatable to me (aspiring writer who didn't get into a great school but still strives for writing anyway).

Tyler - Really? I was going through Youtube and there are a few videos of bands playing around with it.

And yeah, I guess my blogs are like "normal" blogs, but that doesn't mean you have some kind of an obligation to read everything or anything.

And you are lovely.

"My roommate invited me to his uncle's place last night"

That sounds like, in the immortal words of Borat, sexy-time.
