My 2014 Year End post<\/a> did not really cut it as far as things I’ve been working on. It also included about a dozen things I plan on not doing again: running jokes that have stopped running, and were barely jokes to begin with; injokes that I am the only one in on; unreferrable references. And so forth. <\/p>\n

Why don’t I not be an asshole for a minute and clue you in on some stuff. Because I forgot myself. So how are you supposed to remember these very important things? <\/p>\n

This blog<\/h1>\n

Only four of the six categories on this blog are really active. <\/p>\n

The current category you are reading<\/a> is dead, but it dies a lot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

J-pop vs. Metal<\/h5>\n

Has it’s own site<\/a>. It has always been an intermittent project. The major development this year in J-pop and Metal (perhaps) has been the rise of groups which do J-pop\/Metal Fusion. I don’t have anything to do with that and I’m not really into it. There’s possibly a common ancestor to both these things, a mashup artist or group called Evil Morning<\/a>. I posted one of their videos to MySpace back whenever when I was posting random stuff and I got a really positive response but it wasn’t what I was looking for, and I wasn’t trolling, I just thought it was cool and well-done, but the general feeling was, “wow someone took the two worst kinds of music and put it together to make something hilarious.” So I started pairing the original Morning Musume videos with Metal videos I thought complemented them because I thought it was good music and it also made a funnier joke. This wildly unpopular series of bulletins expanded into what it is now: a wildly unpopular website.

RECORDS.<\/h5>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I just noticed I put the few reviews I did this under the wrong category, so I guess it’s good I checked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[the list one]<\/h5>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Really, the year end list is the only thing I really need to do on this whole site.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[the music theory one]<\/h5>\n

<\/a>
\nStill going. Just noticed I’ve been working on this idea for 5 years<\/a>. Almost coherent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[the translation one]<\/h5>\n

<\/a>
\nShould get better.<\/p>\n

Other blogs?<\/h1>\n

I am still (or should be) on lang-8<\/a>, but spend most days on japaneseclass.jp<\/a>, which has a blog feature I don’t use. Add me on both then never use them, why not.<\/p>\n

The tumblrs<\/h1>\n

I pretty much only post to the the main one<\/a> and the sidebar<\/a> anymore. But in 2014, I ended one and started another (that never took off):<\/p>\n

\u70ba\u66ff\u30c0\u30f3\u30d4\uff2c\u30f3\u30b0<\/a><\/h4>\n

This was created literally as a dumping ground for an enormous queue backlog, but intentionally created and ended on John Cage’s bday, Sept. 5th. and with 6 posts to a page for the sides of a die. The maddening associations (design or theme-wise) between posts on each page were meant to come about (or not) by chance operation. At some point I learned to predict and plan where each post would show up, which took a lot of time and defeated the dual purpose of eliminating the absurd queue and having more freedom to post whatever and see what happens. But in the end I could only control the top page for each day and since it ended finally, all of the posts after the first page are arranged due to chance process after all.<\/p>\n

GIANT ROBOT LOUNGE APPRECIATION SOCIETY<\/a><\/h4>\n

This is actually a group blog that no one else has posted to. The posting link is only in the facebook recovery group for ex-Loungers, which is a real thing you should maybe be in already.<\/p>\n

Also,<\/h2>\n


\n[Shonen Knife Wrote A Song About That]<\/a><\/h4>\n

Only a few recent posts when I could find something. Shonen Knife has written a lot of songs, but not so many to keep a tumblr of only reblogs going after 3 years. But they haven’t broken up yet. <\/p>\n

Instagram<\/h1>\n

Has been my only photographic outlet lately which should be remedied.<\/a> Only using an iPod Touch for everything has its pros and cons. Most of the pics, esp w\/ filters look so bad blown up it’s almost funny.<\/p>\n

Music<\/h1>\n

I recorded a few improv pieces but didn’t put anything out except this one for George Korein’s One Finger Piano <\/a> project. Didn’t get enough people to make it an album, but maybe in the future. It was an interesting idea. Unlike recording under the name “Hakujin”.<\/p>\n

I think I’m gonna not use italics anymore.<\/p>\n
