News:
I’ll be flying back to the States with Elena tomorrow. We’ll be staying in L.A. for a week, then stay in San Francisco/Bay Area for a few more weeks. If any of you wants to get together and hang out while we’re in Cali, just email me–I’ll try to check my email as often as situation allows. Meats Meier invited us to meet him at Gnomon School of Visual Arts in Hollywood, so we’ll be there sometime in the next week.

I’ve got all sorts of things I need to do while in the States. Gotta renew my license, take care of all the paperwork for Elena’s greencard stuff, sort out my bank account and credit card, research business-related stuff, scour the bookstores, go and audition a bunch of studio monitors (I made two test CD’s just for that purpose, filled with a wide range of musical styles–film scores, jazz, electronic, rock, industrial, avant-garde..etc), try out a bunch of 88-key hammer-action weighted midi controller keyboards, clear out my storage containers and sell off a bunch of stuff, meet up with friends, shopping, and I still gotta show Elena around the Bay Area, since it’s her first time in the States. It’s going to be a pretty hectic month!

I’ve been feeling sluggish lately, so I decided to eat healthier–at least for the next few days. Since I’m generally too lazy to cook, I thought I’d just throw some veggies together and make myself a salad. Turned out making a salad takes longer–with all that washing, picking out bad parts, cutting, rinsing…etc. I must say though, after eating a bowl of the stuff (with Japanese styled salad dressing), I felt like my life expectancy started rising with each bite. Not only is it healthy, but also quite pretty too:
It might not look much, but took me well over an hour to wash, cut, rinse, toss…etc. Yes, I do wrap my keyboard with food wrap–I got tired of food stains and crumbs getting on the keyboard and the constant cleaning I have to do. Yes, that is a vertical mouse–try one and you’ll how much more comfortable it is. Yes, I must rest my forearms on folded towls or anything soft. And yes, I’m a bit odd.
