The Lickerish Quartet at Aoi Heya 27/09/08



Our original dancer couldn't make it, so we found a couple last-minute replacements.

I heart *blank*

I was tossing this idea around for years, like when I was really into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs back in the day. I never got down to making this design until last night. I threw it together in 10 minutes. Has it been done already? Does it speak volumes?


Then at the same time last night, I suddenly decided that the "I, Robot" franchise needed new promotional material (yeah, I know it's way late and irrelevant now). Therefore, I half-heartedly put this together.

Does anyone get it or would you need an explanation? Chris: your thoughts? Am I ripping off anyone?

What you got on this, AJ?

I figured I'd show you what I am forcing myself to eat here. And of course, to reassure my mom that I am getting enough to eat. Last night was spaghetti with my homemade meat sauce ("I can't believe I ate the whole thing") so tonight was red curry, Thai style. I never really perfected the recipe back home but tonight it turned out alright. I think the key was to let it simmer for a while and of course, not rushing it because you're so hungry and it's already 10pm. Ironically, I was missing some key ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffer lime leaves, and fish sauce (I substituted it with oyster sauce this time). I couldn't find those items anywhere. Did you know that a head of lettuce is about $2 here? And cheddar cheese is stupidly expensive. Who would have thought that cheap-azzed tacos would be for special occasions only? "I'm having guests tonight so we're having tacos."

Tonight's ingredients include: chicken, red pepper, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes (though I prefer the grape variety)

The onions, garlic, and curry paste getting it on.

Go coconut milk (only available at import food stores)

Add the colour

Cover and simmer is KEY

You Got Served

And just like that, it's gone (elapsed time: 5 minutes)

Me, my new band, hippies, mother nature, and Red Bull in Hakuba.
