Concerts are Okay, I Guess

Cod is annoying to cook. Annoying annoying annoying. My mother meant to cook it before she left, but didn't manage to, so I was left pondering what to do with a huge cod steak block frozen in the  freezer. This pondering lasted for about a month, upon which I had no ideas, so I decided to sear it, then bake it. Then I noticed that my oven only goes up to 250°, which is definitely not enough. So there I am, with this 1 inch cod steak trying to fry/broil it in butter, and it's giving off that fatty omega-3 burnt fat smell mixed with the butter, which was kind of sickening. So I stopped after a bit, and marinated it in soy sauce, where it's still there now. Hopefully I can come up with something to do with it.

Yesterday I went to the MIDI music festival in Shanghai with some acquaintance/friends. There were rock bands primarily from Europe and China playing, and there were a fair amount of people. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold, and I didn't bring all that many layers. At the beginning, I thought, well, I guess I understand why people go see music live. After about 2 or 3 hours of cold and standing in the gradually muddying field, I remembered why I don't go see music live, haha. I think I had the most fun at the DJ stage, even though it was smaller. There was this pretty hot brazilian model dj, and her mixing was a bit smoother than the other DJs (who had tasteful backgrounds like naked men humping lawns). Plus, these willow-like trees in the park where it was were throwing fuzzies everywhere, making it look like warm snow. Overall, I think it was a positive experience, but next time I might enjoy a more... indoor venue.

The above paragraph was a bit more like a summary than I meant it to be. Oh well.

There are always things that I come across that I immediately think "Oh! I should write this down in my blog!" and then I forget. I have a notebook I have for this purpose, but unfortunately I'm too lazy to write everything down. Hopefully I'll get better at this.
