Blog: Ryuusei’s staring at me naked

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Osu. Hayashi desu.

Thanks for everyone who went to our show at the Brainwash Cafe in San Francisco this past Friday. Also thanks to our friends at Glass Feather for playing too!

So I had an interesting conversation with Ryuusei the other day. Please see our IM exchange (edited for poor Asian spelling and grammar on my part).

The struggle with being productive

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

It’s been a while since I made a casual blog post no? Time to check in again with the world of Umi.

Lately it feels like I can’t live life casually. Like everyone, I have a list of things to do, but lately it seems my list of things to do in the evening and the weekend is getting longer and longer. So long, I sometimes catch myself goofing off by surfing the Internet or lazily watching TV on the couch for too long and tell myself I’ll give myself an day off of my to-do list.  But, doing that too much is making the list REALLY long!

I was proud of myself yesterday for being really productive all night. I worked out, practiced bass, cooked dinner, prepared my lunch for the next day and cleaned my bathroom.  That doesn’t sounds like much huh? But trust me, I only ever seem to have enough time to work out and then eat, not even enough time to make lunch. Or worse yet sometimes I work out and practice bass and then end up going to sleep without eating at all!

… since everyone knows that posts without pictures are really boring – here is one! Three mocktails lined up all in a row from an Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter’s Tea Party I attended before the movie was release. You can read more about that party, in my Carousel of Crowns blog post.
