Another Themed Mix

"No mistaking the bass," said Shoukinkasegi. "The tunes are that, sexy."

And it's true, though I don't always know why. Even if I could explain it, I'm not sure that I'd want to. Lyrics and visuals aside, there's something there. Visceral, it exists only for its own sake. Moves because moving is all it can do.

So clear out your schedule, pump up the bass, and if you know the film reference, add 20 trashy cinema points to your current score.

in Which my Life is A musical Mad lib.

One day, I will find one job that pays all of my bills. It will also have international travel, dental and medical insurance. Maybe it will also have a little responsiblity. I won't shy away from it, if it promises those other things.

If you log into the WMFE website, and sort through the Arts Connection archives, you can hear me reading off a laundry list of arts activities over the airwaves. Most of the time, I pronounced everything correctly.

Whenever I see somebody on their cell phone, smoking a cigarette, with a small LCD screen blaring a television program in the front seat. I secrety think to myself, now that is the art of driving.

Pretty soon, i'll be all packed up and tripping over boxes. Shortly afterward comes the moving process. Finding a Job. Getting an apartment. You know, the dirty work.
