1. People act crazy. It’s entertaining.
2. Strange things happen, but they’re worth the stories you get to tell afterwards.
3. I got an awesome email basically telling me I get to DJ again. (watch out!)
4. I got an even better email telling me I got into a show (!!!) of which I have two weeks to prepare for.
Also I just “clean plate clubbed” a massive plate of French toast. Living the dream, kids.

I’m about 1/3 of the way through this book [audio version] and I’m already discovering how this woman is basically my Indian doppelgänger. Minus the whole being paid to be awesome part. Love love love.
Currently Reading. Just to note, spent the first few pages crying from laughter. I am in love with this woman! [Sorry David].
My dad just sent this to me.
It’s a 3D printer they use in space to replicate things. That actually move and work. Science is awesome! and so is that guy’s ponytail/sweater combo.

*Why should you care about this? Because 1) it’s awesome, 2) it’s created and produced by my main man, and 3) Hello? It’s a collection of awesome music new, old, familiar and strange.
Whoever tells you you have to spend lots of money on expensive photo equipment should be slapped in the face. My ghetto rigged set up consisting of 2 office chairs, 4 over stuffed couch back pillows, a curtain rod, living room end table, 6 pieces of white card stock paper and scotch tape did the same job that two light stands and a roll of seamless paper can do.
That’s what using your head is, people. What up.
Three cheers for the people in my life who inspire me, creatively, artistically, and just all around make me want to do better and be better. For serious.
Also, I never thought I’d say this, but I am sick and tired of making trips to Home Depot. Seriously. Who knew there were a million different sizes of screws. I mean, come on.
I feel sorry for any poor bastard who decides to stand under our gutters. The ice is so heavy it’s pulled the gutter off the roof in some places, and some of those icicles are about 3 ft long. I’d rather not be impaled by any of those, thanks.
In other news, I maned up and shoveled away some of the ice in the driveway so I could actually leave and put gas in my car. It was quite the 10 minute adventure. Back to doing stuff now!
Oh so my sister also got me these awesome socks. And yes, they are labeled down to each toe bone. And so is the back/bottom of the foot. How awkward is my stance by the way?
So this shirt is back in stock. If I have to go another Christmas without getting one, I might cry and disown everyone. Truth.
Okay I had to share this. This is one of my little cousins dressed as a lion for Halloween. How freaking cute is she?! You love it.
Oh just munching on some snacks that Yukari gave us the other night. Something about mushrooms on bamboo. I have no idea, but it’s amazing and they taste awesome. Yukari is the best.

Jellyfish Evolves Immortality
Researchers have documented the first immortal animal, a jellyfish species called Turritopsis nutricula. The species has been seen to reverse its aging and revert to its its earlier polyp stage, periodically restarting its lifecycle. The rejuvenation relies on transdifferation, the transformation of one mature (non-stem, or “differentiated”) cell type into another. All evidence suggests that Turritopsis can repeat this process indefinitely, meaning that it will never die as a consequence of aging, ever. Researchers suggested that studying the Turritopsis could lead to breakthroughs in reversing the human aging process.(via tiffanyarei)
