Happy happy!

Happy Mooncake Festival everyone!

OK, so this probably only means something to Charles, and OK, so maybe it's more commonly called the Mid-Autumn Festival; but Mooncake Festival is so much more descriptive and it's meant to celebrate the summer's harvest - TASP would work, metaphorically speaking - which is why I decided to mention it.

If you're from a Far-Eastern culture, these are the days when you get together with friends, stuff yourselves with exceedingly tasty and unhealthy (think masses of cane sugar and egg yolk galore) pastries, and try to catch a glimpse of the supposedly auspicious full moon. Done that.

I checked out the St. Louis TASP's blog and WOW they are mistaken. It's that simple.

Following up on Meredith's post, here are my top five songs of the moment, High Fidelity style:

1. Misirlou - Dick Drake - Catchiest chorus ever. The musical chair who added this to the Fourth of July Party Mix has my eternal gratitude.

2. Giuliano's Tune - The Duhks - Amazing acoustic bluegrass-y, celtic-ish song from a great Canadian band. Actually, they're from Winnipeg, land of Jenny!

3. Zombie Jamboree - Rockapella - Samyu if you haven't already, then give this song a closer listen. Caribbean calypso music. Performed by Rockapella. About Zombies. It really doesn't get much better.

4. Zelda Main Theme - Apocalyptica - Nintendo tunes performed by a bunch of cellos. So simple and so so beautiful.

5. Summer Breeze - Jason Mraz - It's astoundingly soothing. You can tell I'm not exactly my most hyper at the moment.

And Rid, I didn't realise that we'd been away from TASP for the duration of TASP. In retrospect, the time in Ann Arbor seems so much shorter and far more precious when compared to the past six weeks.

Till later,

Jason
