Music:
Electronica club remix of Billy Holiday's "Speak Low" followed by Brazilian girls mix of Blossom Dearie's "Just One of Those Things," on repeat for the past hour or so.

Ambient:
The quiet synchronized hum of 300 electronic devices & an oppressive endless moan from the ventilation system

People:
Mind numbing chatter, an occasional question, and disembodied giggles sprinkled around from places just out of sight.

Mind:
Wild screaming thoughts that are disruptive, conflicting, and just barely squelched by the blastingly repetitive electronica I'm pumping into my head.

Michele,

Yes, my beloved green Keroppi clock that I got from one of those stands in the mall about 9 years ago. It even has an alarm feature that plays a really over modulated, distorted version of "Old MacDonald." Strange but hey, it is Keroppi. I found out from Sanrio in '99 that a majority of Keroppi items were being discontinued because Sanrio wanted to bring in new characters. It is now so hard to find authentic Keroppi items. eBay is often my best place to look. Keroppi was my favorite, next to Chococat, and I was bummed when they 'retired' him.

Kevin,

Keroppi's items are not available on sanrio.com anymore. They have brought in Cinnamoroll, Charmmy Kitty, Kuromi, Chococat, Pankunchi, and some others. Keroppi is still listed as a "character," but his merchandise is no longer there on the website. Lame and sad!

Kerooppi just brings back so many memories! I don't even recognize the other names you mentioned; I must be getting ollllld!

02/07/2008 Betty "Snow Queen" M. says:

Michele,

Yeah, I know what you mean! I grew up with Hello Kitty, Twin Stars, My Melody, Spotty Dotty, Keroppi, etc. All these new ones are unknown to me as well. I love frogs in general so Keroppi is naturally my favorite. I think Hello Kitty is fun since I am an "aspiring" cat lady but I prefer Keroppi. I am totally bummed his character has been phased out.

I wanted the Hello Kitty pave diamond pendant but when I saw it goes for $3,000 to $5,000, I just said forget it! Crazy! I was trying to find an authentic rhinestone one but they are no longer made due to the new "Kimora Lee Simmons" diamond line.

That is a riot! LOL! I agree! I refuse to give up my hamachi and Kirin for that as well! And yes, Kimora is annoying. That show of hers! I have not watched an episode all the way through. I can't do it. I do not even like "reality" TV anyway, let alone watching spoiled rich people act like brats. So, I will forgo the overly expensive Hello Kitty diamonds and just opt for maki and nigiri instead.

And yes, Keroppi rocks! :)

oddly enough, the theme to ghostbusters. The presidents day parade float outside is playing it as it goes by. I think the residents of old town are so out of touch with reality that they don't even know what country's presidents they're celebrating. Bagpipes & kilts just don't exactly scream "America." It's not "heritage day," it's "Presidents Day!"

Also, hearing a man yelling through a police megaphone whilst I work at a dull cubicle reminds me of "The Wall" a bit too much. I'm going to go shiver and cry now.

It was definitely one of my favorite concerts ever, capped off by the fact that John Krasinski, only the love of my life, jumped on stage suddenly and strummed a guitar while kidding around with Ben. Fantastic!!

Also, what I'm REALLY dying for is a new Postal Service album. They always say they're working, and I KNOW it must take forever given the insanely cool way they put the albums together, but pleeeease, give me something! A single track even!

Haha, I like that we kinda high-jacked the thread... Gibbard fans unite! :)

Diana K,
I went to both of those shows also. Did you go to the early or late show at 930? I went to the early one and heard that David Bazan didn't play the late. Ben was awesome, but David Bazan was the highlight for me.
