Dynamite.
07 years ago
I saw Napoleon Dynamite on Thursday night with Jacob and Maija. Jacob called me up and said, “Puddle, do you recall what we did the first time we hung out?” I said, “Went to see a silly movie.” It was Evolution. Jacob suggested we go and see another movie together. It was a silly movie, but at the same time a brilliantly funny and heartwarming movie. I can’t really tell you anything about it, cause it’s so odd, but I highly recommend it to everyone. Well, at least anyone who has a sense of humour, and went through high school.

I bought Damien XBox Live for his birthday. He’s playing Crimson Skies now. See you soon Jeremy. ;) What titles do you recommend?
Going to camp on Sunday for a week. Should be excellent fun. Nervous, excited. Kindof numb and feeling odd about saying goodbye to Dad tomorrow, as he leaves while I’m away. Jesus give me peace.
Bee-sting

Just a few minutes ago. Hurts. Haven’t had a bee-sting in years.
I swear it was the most furious bee I have ever seen. I threw a bag of trash at the pole it happened to be living in, and was running to the pole to try and get there before the trash did. The trash arrived a split second before I did, and the bee had stung me a split second later. Count the seconds. One! I’m not even kidding.
Shaft.
Discontinued

My favourite deodorant body spray has been discontinued. It was discontinued years ago, but I only just found out for sure. It feels like an old friend of my parent’s has died.
If anyone can find stashes of this deodorant body spray left anywhere in the world, you will be rewarded.

Wicked weekend. I spun up a frenzy of beats and melodies on Friday night, which was very well received (thank the Lord). Pastor Duncan told me I am no longer Pudd, but have become Dr Pudd. I was amused.
Set:
Zero Gravity – A New Sensorium (Hardy Heller’s Ohral Dub Mix)
Flash – Nobody Scream (Graham Gold Remix)
Airwave – Lady Blue (Original Beat)
Beam – Amun (Original Mix)
Willy J – Play Loud Music (Club Mix)
It was a little shorter than I had anticipated, but was fun nonetheless. People seemed to be feeling it quite a bit by the end, so it was fun dropping the last track in, where every little while this deep voice speaks: “Play… loud… music!”
Saturday saw a bunch of us in Camp Counselor Training for Camp Tsunami ’04. We leave this coming Sunday, so I’m trying to put in as much dj ractuss as I can.
In the eve’ we went to Le Biftheque Steakhouse for an early celebration of Damien’s birthday and a fairwel for my grandparents. I ate so much. It was excellent.
Sunday saw a sleep in and some Xbox, TV and shower. Then to Maija’s for a BBQ and swim, which oddly turned into a gathering of independent video and movie makers.
Finishing it up.

There’s a couple of new photos in the “Haircut” gallery. The actual shaving part. It hurts. I cut myself so bad the other day, it bled like an unexpected amputation.
Ready… Set… Spin! Again!

Will be laying down some more fine trance music tomorrow night at Youth Network. I’m a little apprehensive, as I have spent very little time practicing for it. About half the set will be new stuff, which I only bought on the weekend, so I’m trying hard to familiarize myself with them. It’s not far off playing a brand new song in a band. You’ll want to learn it good before you play it publicly.
The other problem is that this is session number 2. I don’t want to disappoint anyone who showed up for session 1, plus I don’t want anyone to think that the leaders jumped the gun by letting me dj again so soon. We shall see. I played the set I’ll play just a few minutes ago and it went pretty good. I’m just listening through them all now, making sure I’ve got a good progression. I’m starting off with this really nice gentle track called A New Sensorium, by Zero Gravity and ending in some kicking hard trance (with breakbeat to boot): Wave Guide System, by Organ Donors (who rock).
What is brickbat? Blogger spell check wants to change breakbeat to brickbat. Nonsense!

I’m a real dj now. Ask anyone.
So Friday night went really well. :) I played a short set, maybe 25 minutes. I was cut short by the power being pulled from the soundboard. Hehe, it was actually kindof funny. Andrew had just told me I had 2 or 3 minutes left, so I said, “Alright,” and was getting ready to finish off. I was watching the record that was currently playing (Love Comes Again, by Tiesto) and I knew that I didn’t have much left, and so was getting ready to drop in Arya, by DJ Energy, and the next thing I knew, everything went quiet. My monitor turned off, and the PA went out. I immediately figured, “Oh, I must have run out of record. Ahh well.” Everyone seemed a little bit surprised, cause there wasn’t really any wind-down. Only when Ninja tried to talk into a mic did we realize what had really happened.
Hehe, I knew I had more record left. But yeah, it went well. I was feeling it more than any other time. Technically, it went almost flawlessly. Musically, you’d have to ask someone in the crowd, but I think it was good. Here’s the tracklist for anyone who cares:
The Traveller & In Motion – Believe (Key South Remix)
Mas – Chemic (Distortion Mix)
Vanessa Mae – White Bird (Cosmic Gate Mix)
Evolver – Evolver (Wavestate Vocal Mix)
Organ Donors – Rhythms Divine (Pound Your Senses mix)
Tiesto ft BT – Love Comes Again (Mark Norman remix)
Yesterday I went record shopping and got myself some new tracks. I’m pretty pleased with them. Maija, Bethany, Mike and I went out to The Granite Club last night and dined finely in honour of Mike completing his MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). He now patiently awaits his results… which will come 2 – 3 months from now. Haha, sucker.

It turns out that my Dad is not moving to Australia after all. He is going there for 3 months, and then coming back. I was completely un-aware of the coming back part, so I’m rather a bit more joyous now. Three months is a lot better than forever, in my opinion.
