February 5th, 2011
Shanghai, China

Chinese new year... not a big deal really, with the exception of some nice looking fireworks nothing else was special about it.

Just a few days ago me and Milk celebrated one year together in the flesh. We went out for dinner and originally planned on going to the Shanghai World Circus but we got lazy and decided otherwise.

And in other news,

about a month ago back in the recording studio, I was there looking up at people with my mouth open as usual, hoping that they'd give me a fun and new and exciting assignment, such as plugging microphones...... when suddenly boss Zhang asked me to organize the printed lyrics for the singers who were coming to record on that day, to my very big surprise and delight of the crazyrabidfangirlness remaining inside of me, I knew some of the singers, I recognized a couple of names written on the lyrics.

Needless to say when they arrived, and as hard as I tried, I had a stupid smile on my face that I couldn't quite clear off.

Seriously now, those singers are far from being real stars, but they are quite known in Shanghai, I even bought my mother a CD of one of them when I went back to Mexico after my first year. Ah, and when I met him, oh the shame...

I walked up to him, my boss was going to introduce me, instead of holding out my hand I open my mouth and blurp out: Heh heh, you're famous.

Of course, that was followed by 10 long uncomfortable seconds of staring and apollogetic chuckles, but it was alright, meaning of course my boss, who is an excellent guy, never thought bad of it, in fact he was one of the ones smiling about it, and the other guy that works there, this musical genius called Mu, made sure I stopped feeling bad about it.

All in all, in a way its too bad I'm on holidays right now, because I miss the studio, and just when I was starting to understand a bit how it works there, the stupid chinese new year comes to meddle and disrupts my professional pleasures. Cock it to hell.

And between spaces, we've been playing tetris nonstop. I see beautifully colored squares everytime I close my eyes.

Soma Studios in their previous glory.

Hi there. I wonder why does the meaning of 色情 change from chinese to japanese. The meaning f 色情 in japanese is "sensual or horny".

The japanese and chinese perception of live seems quite different.
