just passing lights

week was strangely long but decent. @ work i had a lot of preparing to do for this coming week, which will be stressful but if i can pull it off, very beneficial. and at school, i had my estate planning class which seemed interesting. i felt about $100k richer w/in 2 feet of my prof, he exuded that much wealth with his perfect tan and tailored suit and glittery cufflinks above manicured hands. he actually is a practicing lawyer and one of the best in the US in estate planning and managing partner of one of the largest white shoe firms in the world. but what impressed me the most was that he said he wouldn't call on anyone. i'm easy to please. :P

somehow the "best of anjunabeats" series is not quite as good as the regular anjunabeats. i got a bunch of their deep trance and melodic trance "best ofs" but they haven't grown on me. "anjunabeats 5" is really good. my favorite track is joonas hahmo's "together," but pretty much any song on that album is terrific.

been listening to 16 bit lolitas' "passing lights" lately, as mixed in "yoshitoshi montreal" by sultan, and "dubai" by sharam (awesome album!!!!). having heard some of their other stuff, i'm not crazy about 16 bit lolitas, a dutch group i think, but really like "passing lights." not much in the way of vocals, good evolving bass and melody. also, the felix da housecat remix of "bliss" by syntax is phenomenal. i picked it up from the "dubai" album.

also been listening to a lot of old white zombie. can't go wrong there. i've been trying to write my story in the meantime, but the creativity is running dry. i need to run around in a desert or dive out of an airplane. skiing is a good clean way to empty the brain cache and think anew, which is what i may be doing soon if i can only find the time...
