Tonight’s SBS cult movie, 2LDK, was full on! Talk about redefining the meaning of hate and bitchiness! Its insane

I attended the Golden Key International Honour Society new member induction ceremony tonight. Would you know it, we had the same keynote speaker from the GIHS graduation. Luckily he didn’t talk for quite as long, but still long enough. This time one of his main points was that we’re all going to die from the bird flu :Congrats new members if you’re reading this

Check out the quality of the Gigapixel camera (equivilant to more than 1000 megapixel photos)

Inbetween researching, reading, notetaking, and idea formulation for my creative project examining the experience of speed and driving, I’ve been watching a Japanese Drama called GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). The episodes kept getting better and better, and now I’ve finished watching it I find it a bit of a let down that there were only 12 episodes. There are however a special episode and a movie I have yet to see (broadband pending)…
Anyhow, I’ve come to love the main theme by Takeshi Sorimachi, ‘Poison’. Considering there appears to be no available piano sheet music of it (or a midi of the piano version), I did a combination of converting a midi of the opening song to a music sheet (using midinotate) to get the key and chords etc right, and then transcribing the more detailed left hand rhythms and chord melody sequences direct from the powerful piano version of it to the keyboard (by ear). I need more practice, but I can accurately play at least 95% of the song
