It’s going to be a busy couple of days this week, actually – all the way leading up to my trip to KL. If you haven’t already heard, I’ll be covering the KL Sunburst festival for the magazine on the 15th so ze editor & I will be making our way up on the 14th so that we can attend their pre-show artist party. O yes, I am somewhat bragging about this. Festival line up includes Incubus (I don’t want babies but if i did, I want Monsuier Boyd to father them), John Legend, The Roots, George Clinton ya-dah. I am in some seriously state of stoked. Still hopeful that the quick getaway will re-spark my lack of focus.
Tomorrow I’ll be heading down to the Swissotel Stamford for an EA launch party for Rock Band. It’s being thrown at the helipad/top of the 31279823th floor. I’m not really big on serious gaming (FREAKS & GEEKS ALL OF THEM!) but I’ll figure something out. And then Saturday there’s a Lush 99.5fm anniversary party at Prive. In a bid to not appear like the media/PR slut i really am or clear out my bank account, I’m probably going to have to turn these down once in a while. Too bad in between all this pseudo-glamorous partying I still have to come up with 3 more articles for the April issue. Ah I feel so adult and “Can i fit you in between 3pm and 5pm?”-ish. Btw, this is why I love Michael Musto and want to work for the Village Voice.

Nothing exciting socially happening to me at the moment. Let’s see, I finally finished Sonic the Hedgehog 1.o on Sega Megadrive and I started a neopets account just for the heck of it. I was contemplating between maplestory or neopets and then i remembered kawaii-esque graphics gives me excruciating abdominal pain and projectile vomit. I re-read Generation X (Douglas Coupland) last night but it only reminded me of the putrid taste that i get in my mouth after i watch episodes of jPod. To be fair, Canada does have some good exports. Such a poor pity that Steph Song isn’t one of them.
Back to the US elections, congratulations to Billary on winning 3/4 of the primaries. She’s been EVERYWHERE on the telly these days (well okay not locally obviously. Singaporeans don’t care about politics so much because of the lack of liberal media), the today show, good morning america, SNL. Her team is really going into overdrive. I don’t know. Her campaigns are somewhat stronger now that Mister Monica Lewinksy’s backing her and she honestly seems like she’s got a shot at this. This time it’s getting serious so if she wants to win this she has got to pull Tim Gunn (make it work!). I’m not about to switch camps anytime soon but we’ll see.
Next entry: Why I am a Barack Obama supporter & Why I give a fudge about american politics when I reside in Singapore.
P.s Jeebus worshipping freaky nut-job Mike Huckabee has dropped out of the race. Can I get a Hallelujah & an Amen?

Interesting post from Singapore. A relevant point here is that while some have mistakenly described Obama as an Xer, he is in fact a member of Generation Jones (born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Xers).
Several top media outlets, including the NYTimes, NBC, The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek, have recently concluded, Obama is specifically a member of Generation Jones, rather than a Boomer or Xer.
