such a fascinating creature, the human. what other sentient being
would purposefully and whole-heartedly subject themselves to such
torture as being in love.

| hope you had a fun weekend, Esther!
i was very pleasantly surprised with dinner at Restaraunt
Japan--probably the best sushi in Columbus, factoring in the decent
price per roll. the agedashi tofu and edamame were surprisingly
good as well. esther ate a caterpillar for dinner, it was really
gross.
and as anticipated, Spice was ridiculously packed by peak hour.
thank God we had the foresight to get there at like 10pm. if you
are either asian or 30something, you should go to Spice! cuz
that's predominantly everyone there. jason told me that tuesday
nights they have a DJ that spins trance and house. i became very
jealous. and then esther slapped me a good one.

| finally got to hit up the bar/club scene in NYC,
albeit only 2 places, only one of which is a "hot" club right
now. and guess what?! they played a lot of friggin
techno. perhaps i need to move to a bigger city so i can
realistically pursue my dream of throwing down live sets in a club,
with people who actually LIKE and DANCE to what i mix. OSU is so
hip-hop driven it makes me want to cry. not to say hip-hop is
bad, but the over-produced shit that comes out of the music industry
nowadays really does make me want to throw up all over myself.
honestly, it's like these "artists" and their record execs go into a
locked room with a $15 Casio keyboard and their bottle of bub, get
trashed, jot down some lyrics about shaking your ass/tailfeather/what
yo' mama gave ya, and BAM! it's a platinum single. the day
a campus bar starts to play People Under the Stairs or Blackalicious is
the day i strip naked and buy a round of drinks. oh, and sorry if
this offends anyone, but so often i hear the excuse "i dont like techno
because i dont know how to dance to it." i have come to the
realization that many of the people who say that, tend to be
white. and as we all know, white people are generally the worst
at dancing of any ethnicity (especially white dudes. there are
two God-given truths on this planet: asian women can't drive, and
white dudes can't dance). i can only come to the conclusion that
when people say that (not just white people tho), it's more like "i
dont like techno because i CAN'T dance to it."
but that right there is the weirdest part, since we
all know that what makes a terrible dancer is their incapacity to
maintain a beat (ie, the correct beat). with techno, the beat is
friggin unmistakeable! a blind dog with no legs could probably
roll around to the beat if it really wanted to.
::pant pant::
i digress... anyways, so yeah, at Lotus in NYC, they played a lot
of classic 80s and 90s with a house-ish remix. it was definitely
bangin, and the crowd was definitely feelin it. ::drool::
Esther's birfday celebration is this weekend, and i think part of the
night will involve going to Spice Bar. WHICH, i might add,
interestingly enough is incredibly popular, yet, they play techno
(lounge house)!! the irony of it all....
