    Ceej,

    There’s a radio rip circulating from when I premiered “Resonant Blue” on Five Stars tonight. (I’d send an actual copy, but a) you’d never take it from me, and b) Naoki Yamazaki would have my cunt hairs yanked out one at a time with tweezers!) Let me know what you think; hope you’re having a better day today.

    Ganbatte,
    Reina

    (later that day)

    minimoniotaku: Hi, Reina. :)
    reina_t_1111: Well?
    minimoniotaku: Well, what?
    reina_t_1111: What do you think of the new A-side?
    minimoniotaku: I’m writing about it right now for the music blog.
    reina_t_1111: Grrrr! Goddamnit, are you trying to twist my ovaries from 16,094 kilometers away?
    minimoniotaku: Well, it is going to be a positive review, that’s all I’ll say for now.
    reina_t_1111: Fair enough.
    minimoniotaku: And I’m glad you’re getting more lines this time.
    reina_t_1111: I figured you’d pick up on that. LOL
    minimoniotaku: I will say one thing though, I hate radio rips. I was left wanting for more.
    reina_t_1111: Yeah, it’s like listening to that John Coltrane live album that came out a couple of years ago. He’s going at full tilt during “My Favorite Things” and then the goddamn radio announcer interrupts and the music fades out.
    minimoniotaku: Nice analogy.
    reina_t_1111: Yeah, I’m starting to take after you with the musical reference points.
    minimoniotaku: Gee, I wonder why? ;)

    reina_t_1111: About time you checked in. Are you OK?
    minimoniotaku: I don’t wanna talk about it.
    reina_t_1111: Ohhh! If you can’t talk to me, who can you talk to?
    minimoniotaku: You’re right again.
    reina_t_1111: Is it about what I think it is?
    minimoniotaku: Compound that with shitty weather, a shitty job, and a mostly shitty past seven days. What do you think?
    reina_t_1111: Damn.
    minimoniotaku: I need some major changes in my life, Reina. Big time.
    reina_t_1111: I hope none of those changes include me.
    minimoniotaku: Relax, babe, you’re safe.
    reina_t_1111: I hope so. For myself and the rest of the band, and for you most of all.
    minimoniotaku: :)
    minimoniotaku: So what part are you going to have in Cinderella?
    reina_t_1111: I don’t know yet. Why?
    minimoniotaku: Because if you don’t get the title role, I’m going to hurt somebody.
    reina_t_1111: Don’t talk like that.
    minimoniotaku: Why not?
    reina_t_1111: Because my name already means “queen” in Spanish, remember?
    minimoniotaku: So?
    reina_t_1111: So why would you, of all people, want to downgrade me to a goddamn princess?!?
    minimoniotaku: Yeah, but princesses usually grow up to become queens.
    reina_t_1111: True.
    reina_t_1111: Get off of IM, put a Miles Davis album on, and focus on to what you’re meant to be doing and what you believe in, OK? Tomorrow should be a better day.
    minimoniotaku: OK, I will.
    reina_t_1111: Ganbatte, Ceej.
