10.27.08/16:27 zombie party endorses mccain
He continued, “During these tough economic times, we need a candidate who gives us what we really need--mountains and mountains of brains. With four more catastrophic years of Bush-like economic policy, the ensuing apocalyptic climate will be ideal for harvesting brains.”
When asked why she favored McCain, Zombie Party member Elaine Smith said, “Living candidates just don’t understand the needs of our community, but McCain, that guy gets it.”
While Obama has stated that he is “willing to meet with the zombies without precondition,” recent polls show that the majority of the nation’s zombies aren’t impressed by this gesture.
“Initially, I’d heard a rumor that he was born in Haiti, and that was promising, and I was also very impressed that he wasn’t pro-life. In the end, though, you gotta go with your gut, and my gut tells me that McCain will deliver the brains.”
Graveyard zombie Ron Pulley was less enthusiastic. “People said the Bush administration would bring us brains, but in the last eight years I haven’t seen a brain between the lot of them.” 10.21.08/22:59 videos, full steam ahead! I have to return the video camera to its rightful owner at the end of the week, so I took this opportunity to record a plethora of videos. My focus was the one thing I haven't been hammering on the YouTube front: cover songs.
Above is one of the songs for nocturne digitalis. It's called drawing straws. A little melancholy, but that's the theme of the album. As for the other songs, you can click on the video above to view them on my channel, or you can go to the link below.

Not because I'm up early. Quite the opposite. Today marks a big thing for me, finishing the rough draft of my translation of Murakami's Hear the Wind Sing. My notes and my draft each ended up at around 25,000 words. Not bad for four months of concentrated effort.

The top picture is from the cover of one of the study notebooks I got a long time ago at the hyaku-en. The above picture is a pretty awesome warning I got while I was working tonight. I reformatted it a little so it would fit here. Once I'm finished with this post, I'm going to smoke a cigarette, take a shower, and hibernate. Don't wake me up until it gets dark again. Cheers. 10.8.08/02:34 particleboard furniture
I didn't realize what a big effect my posts had on the stability of the world. I quit posting for a few weeks and the market tanks and everything goes crazy. Well, I'm back, so all you doomsayers can just chill out.
The girlfriend and I must be at the point in our lives when we feel the need to fill the void in our lives with particleboard furniture. I guess when your apartment was built in the 40's, even thirty-dollar fake wood furniture from Target can be an improvement.
And guess who assembled everything?
I suppose if we're doling out credit, I have to be fair and mention that she bought the snazzy little computer cart upon which I'm typing this very rant. But where is she right now, at 2am?
Good question...
In other news, I wrote a new song I'm pretty happy with, which brings our total count of tracks for nocturne digitalis up to eleven. And the Hear the Wind Sing fan translation is up to 144 pages. Just seventeen pages left.
And if you're wondering what happened to September, you can go relive those and other halcyon days by going to the archives. 10.8.08/02:33 things to do when visiting pittsburgh -visit Phipps Conservatory -go mini-golfing at The Windmill -jog 5 miles on the Montour Trail -go to the Carnegie Museum -take a tour of the Nationality Rooms with an unlicensed guide -drive to Niagara Falls and back in one day -go to PNC Park to see a Pirates game -walk around the South Side Works -shop at the Monroeville Mall -shop at The Mall at Robinson -eat at Kiku -ride the Duquesne Incline -walk around Station Square -witness a freak wind storm which leaves you without power -shop at Tokyo Supermarket -eat at Houlihan's
These are things I did with my friends, a former student and his wife, when they came to visit Pittsburgh. We had a lot of fun, and best of all, they brought presents! If sake and Poterongu were currency, I'd be moderately wealthy.
