Hi.

I wanted to invite all of you to vote for my picture over at The Search, so I can win those awesome prizes. If I win, I promise I’ll do something really creative with the prizes, I’m serious, I have a really good idea.

Thanks!

No, I can’t compose music for shit. I’m not a musician. For that reason, I tried to ask a friend of mine, whose name I will not disclose.

I asked him to play the violin for three minutes and thirty five seconds, record that and let me use that as the soundtrack for my movie. He then told me that he needs the weekend to think about it, and that by Monday he’ll come up with something psychodalic.

On Wednesday I asked him whether we could pull this thing together. His answer was “no, I’m rebelling against society.” Great, doesn’t sound like I’m getting any soundtrack any time soon.

“How about you rebel against society tomorrow and work on it today?”

“I don’t know.”

Since he doesn’t know, I do. He’s “fired.” You simply can’t count on him, which is a shame, since he’s a wonderful person.

If you’re reading this and willing to record something psychodalic on some string instrument about three minutes long, please, please, please do. Send me an email or something and send me the FLAC. I’ll credit you of course, and your piece will appear in my movie.

I hope I get something soon.

First of all, sorry for not writing for so long, a few people bugged me about this, and I realized that I should have at least posted something short like “today I bought a pet plant” (which I did actually, help me name it).

Anyway. Kawaii seems to be taking over. I’ve been to Israel last month and they have an Anime channel in there, and of course Pokémon (but that’s pretty standard). My idea was to replace different authority figures with nice smiley Kawaii figures. Koizumi is a good start, of course. Taking a look at his website, there’s a link on the right to an “E-mail magazine”. What’s going on here? Is Koizumi trying to make himself something like a pop figure? Hello Kitty style. Hello Koizumi. And there we have it. Kawaii politics.

I would personally feel much more guilty, from a dictator point of view, to bomb something if their leaders are so kawaii.
