reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej. Sorry to hear about your Mac.
minimoniotaku: Thanks, Reina. I think I can deal with “Windoze Blister” for a few months until I can get a new MacBook Pro.
reina_t_1111: There you go. At least you’ll be getting your work done.
minimoniotaku: Yeah. I had a busy weekend and need to catch up on [...]

reina_t_1111: Hey, check this new photo of me out.
minimoniotaku: Cool. I always wanted to see you with a guitar.
reina_t_1111: Yeah, I would have preferred an electric, though. Or at least a strap for this one. It’s a little hard to hold a barre chord when you have to hold the entire guitar at the same [...]

Subject: Resonant Blue
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 [...]

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 [...]

reina_t_1111: I see the hype is already underway for the new photobook.
minimoniotaku: You can say that again.
reina_t_1111: I gather my American fanbase - and I’m asking you because well, duh, you’re part of it - is excited about it?
minimoniotaku: I would like to think they’d get excited about anything involving you.
reina_t_1111: You’re too kind.
minimoniotaku: [...]

I should be playing John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme instead of Miles Davis’ Milestones while [...]

With little apparent warning, another photobook featuring the Wonkylicious Sex Bomb, entitled Re: Return, is coming out this forthcoming Wednesday - the third photobook in a little more than a year after Alo Hello! Tanaka Reina and GIRL, and her sixth overall. Is that a fake tattoo on Reina’s arm? (Pre-order from YesAsia here [...]

reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej, I heard about that pileup on the Interstate near your hometown. Were you anywhere near that?
minimoniotaku: An exit to that interstate is only about a 5 minute drive from my house.
reina_t_1111: Whoa. Talk about too close for comfort.
minimoniotaku: Yeah, I’m glad I stayed home. 68 vehicles, what a mess though! And it’s [...]

reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej. What are you doing on IM at 2:30 in the afternoon your time on a work day?
minimoniotaku: My dipshit boss is out sick with the same thing I had three Sundays ago and I’m up front watching the store and playing Jimmy Smith CDs.
reina_t_1111: Aw, that explains it. You heard about Johnson?
minimoniotaku: [...]

reina_t_1111: Whoops, looks like I walked into a discussion between the future newlyweds.
minimoniotaku: Oh, good, my two favorite women finally get to meet… so to speak.
tara_hearts_cj: And I thought all along that you were making these chats up for the worship blog.
minimoniotaku: Aw, shit, looks like the secret’s out.
reina_t_1111: LOL
tara_hearts_cj: Well, since I have both [...]
