Belakangan hidup semakin berantakan. Semakin ga karuan.

Beberapa kali nonton televisi, semakin ga jelas. Semua isinya korea, korea, dan korea. Mending kalau bagus lagunya — entah deh layak dibilang lagu apa bukan. Industri hiburan sukses sekali menggeser selera musik ke arah korea.

Anyway, selain kerja, hidup gw diisi dengan hal-hal semacam buku, musik, bioskop, dan film seri. Berikut ini daftar konsumsi gw, kali aja ada yang baca dan butuh rekomendasi personal. Enjoy:

Somebody That I Used To Know

Gotye feat. Kimbra – Somebody That I Used To Know
2011

-

Gw ga tahu persis kenapa baru kemarin dengar lagu ini. Gotye dan Kimbra, benar-benar keren. Gotye punya video clips yang keren dan penuh dengan konsep. Kimbra, punya tracks yang kabaret-like dan menyenangkan untuk didengar — walau agak aneh ditelinga.

I’m totally sold.

Misery is my company

I believe there are always repetitive scenarios in live. Happiness, sadness, etc — they’ll come and go along the way.

Currently my life is filled with frustrating stuff. And it’s very funny to realized that I can’t cope up with them. I used to be better than this.

**censored**.

I am no longer a sinking ship. Gotta keep that in mind. Sigh.

ps:
The moment I write this, I had a bad health. Had a new laptop with horrible keyboard layout that keep pissing me off.

I really missed my Thinkpad’s keyboard. And, fyi, I currently work with too may different keyboard layout such as iMac’s wireless keyboard (at work), ASUS 15″ laptop’s keyboard, and a silly USB-connected keyboard (replacement for Thinkpad’s). The only similarity they had is QWERTY, the rest is f***ed-up.

I dont get it. What the hell happened with thing called ‘standards’?

Debian

It’s 4 AM. Have just wrapped my very first experience installing Debian OS which turns out total fail.

Perhaps I did it all wrong.

Earlier yesterday at the office I downloaded an image of the 1st dvd of the OS. I *assumed* that’s the minimum I should have to get Debian with GUI running.

The other problem was my dvd reader; it’s not helpful at all. It think I need to get a replacement.

Well anyway it’s not a total failure. I managed to have Debian running…headless.

You heard me: headless.
No GUI. No whatever.

I think I’m gonna do another attempt next week. Gotta buy an external dvd reader and download all those +/- 6 dvds.

SISTAR – Jika Memang

S.I.S.T.A.R. – Jika Memang
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sistarmusic
2011

First of all; ini bukan Sistar — girl band asal Korea ituh. Band ini dibuat oleh sekumpulan anak muda Bandung. Gw tahu band ini karena (kebetulan) gitarisnya adalah temanku semasa SMU dulu.

Sayangnya proyek S.I.S.T.A.R ini terhenti tanpa alasan jelas. Padahal demo mereka dan beberapa lagu mereka yang mau (maupun sudah) dirilis keren-keren banget. “Keren banget” dalam artian selera anak muda yang dilanda jatuh cinta dan pergalauan. Haha.

Pohon rubuh di tengah hutan, ga akan ada yang tahu. Sama seperti lagu bagus ini, tanpa marketing ga ada yang tahu dan ga laku. Sayang sekali.

Well anyway, enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers.
