Musical Recovery and Subtle Glimpses

Happy Friday! I've been in quite a good mood today. Mostly due to the 60°F temperature all day. While I kinda prefer winter over summer, the changing of seasons is the best. Winter to spring, and summer to fall. The warm-up and cool-down seasons. And this is just the middle of February! Plenty more of my favorite time of year to come.

I'm almost done reassembling my music library. Just have T-Z left now.

Now on W...

Done! With my head clenched in both hands, I finally synced (sunk? sank?) my iPod. And... Success! I'm 161 songs short, but that can be attributed to doubles, or stuff I just decided not to keep. At any rate, my personal media player is now caught up on my collected music. I can now clean house, mow the yard, and drive with my own personal playlist again! And now for the very very vital backup process. Which will take a while...

Currently listening to MergingMoon. Japanese band fronted by a chick. Their genre? "Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore with Electronic Influences." Now, a death metal band is hard to find in Japan. And this is a death metal band with a lady as their lead singer/screamer.

This is for all the steadfast followers out there...

Yeah that's me. Or at least as much as me as I'm willing to share. :)

Have a lovely weekend, readers.

Don't Be Mine... Unless You Bring Rum

Valentine's Day today. Spent it dozing, watching Ant-Man, reading... And now working on my iTunes library. Reassembling my music. Yaaay.

Taking the kid to see Kung Fu Panda 3 tomorrow. I think he'll enjoy it. He loves the first two.

I know that sequels are almost always bad, or at least nowhere near as good as their predecessors... But I must say that Tron: Legacy is probably the best sequel I've ever seen. I love it. While I definitely appreciate the first Tron, the second installment is truly amazing. True, the plot is rather similar to the first, but it's still different enough. The cast is great, the music is phenomenal... Again, I love it.

Ramen

Just wanted to let you all know, I just had some pretty great chicken ramen noodles. Doctored up by yours truly.

Small pot of water, put on lit burner, add some red wine of your choice. Once boiling, add noodles. Once boiled to your choice of texture (I prefer them to be somewhat firm, rather than squishy/soupy), drain 3/4 of liquid. Return pot of mostly drained noodles to stove, to unlit burner. Season noodles with chicken flavoring, bit of garlic powder, bit of oregano, bit of cumin, bit of nutmeg. Stir. Serve. I quite enjoyed.

I have yet to add egg to my ramen, but I will, soon.

Politics & Ire

It's frustrating to have the job you know you can do, the job you can excel at. The job that's perfect for you, in many aspects. Yet, circumstances aren't allowing you to excel, aren't allowing you to shine. The circumstances make you look like you were a poor choice of a hire. And even though you did shine, you did show what you're capable of, for less than a month, due to being in a different setting, things go back to the way they were when you're suddenly moved back to where you're overshadowed and unappreciated. And therefore won't remain employed.

I want to scream.

I'll drink instead.

Here's to me.

Oh hey, here's something pretty accurate to how things currently are..

I have previously disclosed how I despise politics. This still stands. And call me an imbecile, but I'm 28 years old and I have never voted due to my contempt of today's politics. My view: Give me someone to vote for. Not someone who opposes and ridicules the opposite party just out of spite. However, this upcoming election will likely see my first ever vote. Not necessarily for who I want, but more for who I don't want. Which is extremely unfortunate.
