perth has been pretty hot this week, so i’ve been doing a lot of indoors. watching japanese commercials and screen capping their sets, playing games, the usual.

following the current theme, maybe i should go and buy some makkoli (cloudy rice wine) and make a shrine of crazy.

February 12 from sardonicsmile on 8tracks.

I Want You – Joan Jett although it says ‘& the Blackhearts’ according to the best of liner notes this was a song recorded with the Runaways but not previously released.
You Didn’t Try To Call Me – Frank Zappa heard it on the radio and thought it was a derivative sixties band song, ’til i got to the end…
sa_i_ta – Tokyo Jihen so tokyo jihen are breaking up by the end of this month. pretty used to the start-stop-end of shiina ringo projects by now, but this is easily the best song on their final ep.
Ran into Bookstore – Naomi & Goro bossa nova for quiet nights
C’est La Mode – Annie Philippe also sampled on a hideki kaji song
Lafaye – School of Seven Bells another radio song, although i kept thinking of boris’ pop output
doudou – LAMA interlude in LAMA’s debut album. half the band are ex-supercar, hence their sound
拖鞋 (Slippers) – Wei Ru Xuan
iYo-Yo – Bomi

clockwise, from top left:
- lady gaga as virgin mary alejandro candle, virgin mary candle from amor y locura, candle designed by kazuyo nomura (love her patterns) from ikea
- joan jett book by todd oldham, full of classic jj pictures from the 70s and 80s. seemed to have ignored that brief scrubbed up, less make up phase circa “the hit list”. that’s forgivable.
- i finally started cooking again! dinner from the other night pictured.
- maisha magazine, in particular this one about tokyo interiors. (if you know your way around some basic japanese, you can buy and read online via zasshi online). also i finally have a work desk at home which needs some work before it gets to this standard…

- try again on the cooking for one deal, since i will now be rid of the effing fridge that roars well into the night but curdles milk. fresh produce will make sense once again. use big girls small kitchen as help.

- organise desktop with the help of ikea folders

- speaking of ikea, either get a wardrobe, or pretend i am buying a stuva set for my imaginary kid even though it is for me, and shove all my clothes in it. also want nice bookshelves, which may or may not be ikea paradox

- achieve equivalent age score in brain training on nintendo ds. youngest is 37, oldest 52 so far. so bad at this, mathematics is not my strong point

- watch the 10 000 or so movies downloaded and arranged in plex so i can free up hdd space (first movie listed, ‘the architect and the painter’; last movie listed is ‘the woman knight of mirror lake’)

- continue obsessing over joan jett, mexican prayer candles and beci orpin artwork

(pictured, pastries, coffee and the end days of our youth)
