Happy Patriots Day! It is one of those weird local state holidays. Lots of companies take this as a holiday. I remember my dad saying that when he was growing up, nobody worked on Patriots day. Times have definitely changed, I never got it off. Also, the Boston Marathon is today, so good luck to all the runners out there.

Dave Hyatt posts about a test to figure out what kind of brain you have. You take two tests and look up the scores on a chart. My systemising quotient is 32, and my empathy quotient is 53, which means I have a type ‘E’, or female, brain.

I grabbed some cheese while shopping today, remembering I had tuna at home so tonight I made tuna melts that were quite good. The only thing that was missing was Spike. I tried to find some at the store today, but they didn’t have any. Anyone in the Boston area know of anyplace that carries it? IMHO it’s the best seasoning stuff, and putting a shake or two on top of a tuna melt before popping it in the oven rocks.

Frito-Lay now has ‘Natural Cheetos’. From what I can see on the coupon this seems to be marketing to the ‘all natural’ crowd. But all natural Cheetos? I thought Cheetos were something that didn’t exist normally in nature.

Last night was one of those nights that reminds me why I got into DJing. There’s this moment when you just kind of become one with the music, where you know you’re reaching people in the audience and just making them move. It’s amazing and kind of intoxicating. I spun a great set. I usually finish spinning and and am kind of negative about my sets, this time it was just right. I’ve been spinning mostly mellow stuff in front of people lately and it felt soooooo good to just cut loose and play some harder stuff. Now I just wish it had been recorded.

One other odd thing, or maybe it isn’t that odd. I’ve found that after I finish spinning I almost need to go off by myself for five or ten minutes to come down off of the rush. That and it freaks me out some when I have a bunch of people coming up to me to tell me how much they liked it. It just feels a little overwhelming.

Damn. Posted this to a message board I’m on, but thought I’d post it here too.

Character designs by Yoshitoshi ABe. Opening track by Juno Reactor (I’ve been waiting for a show to use some music like this for ages). Texhnolyze looks like it could be a winner already.

Um, wow. I just took in the first episode. I really hope someone does I high quality encode of this. The first episode of this show had almost no dialogue. Maybe 20 lines total. But visually I found it amazing. Very dark, parts very creepy. Lots of what the f*ck is going on moments. In the end I actually think I had a decent idea of what was going on (at least in part of it), but I’m still clueless as all hell.

Visually, the show has that dark Boogiepop Phantom/Lain look. And so far it seems to really work well (for me at least). This is one I’ll be checking out more of.

This post going out to a few sources, including the anime blog.

Damn.

I’m up way too early. My body is saying feed me. I think I’m gonna grab a cup of coffee and the newspaper, then go back to sleep.

In fact I’m up early enough that I’m posting all my entries to the wrong blog. Finally got them moved over to here where they belong. D’oh.

Damn, Enigmo is fun. Fun in the crack-like ‘just one more level’ kind of way. For now I’ve resisted purchasing it, but I wonder how long I can hold out. Enigmo is a game for OS X that is very much like The Incredible machine. But it’s got funky 3D graphics. From what I’ve seen so far of the levels they all have to deal with getting little droplets of fluid from one place to another. It really is quite cool. I blame Kottke for this hopeless addiction.
