beatz and bleepz: the almost real life edition

gahhhhhhhhh i go home to regular america in roughly a week. what a bummer. although today when i had to run errands and was sweating to the point that small children were running around me in their swimsuits like i was some sort of mobile sprinkler system, i realized that maybe going back to subzero temperatures won't be such a terrible thing. especially since january is going to be even worse here temperature-wise. ps the sprinkler thing with the children didn't actually happen, but an old chinese man did judge me at the supermarket. roughly the same thing.

speaking of old chinese men, i've been thinking a lot about what i should do with my life once i leave this place. the logical conclusion that i reached was that i should become an apprentice to some old man, preferably an asian one who lives on a mountain top, to learn a dying art like how to make noodles by hand by bouncing around on a giant wooden pole (i saw this on 'no reservations') or how to do other cool stuff that is being made obsolete by technological developments. because the way this place (also known as planet earth) is going, we're all pretty screwed in terms of our reliance on technological advances. and i think the best investment would be to learn something that no one else knows how to do without the help of technology so that i end up becoming an invaluable asset to the survival of human civilization when we one day blow ourselves up or aliens take over or a giant tsunami floods everything. i mean, it's genius, right? and if no catastrophes happen that increase the value of my future skill(s), i will refuse to teach future apprentice hopefuls. instead, i will sit on the secrets i've learned until the day i die (when i'm like, 300 years old) so that my life will become a million times more significant. because let's face it, i have to go out with some sort of bang since my ideal funeral, aka evita's funeral, is probably not going to happen. god i am so smart it hurts. but anyway, for now i'll stick with what i know and give you your weekly dose of electro:
