The Definition of a Scorpion


Scorpion
Pronunciation: \ˈskor-pē-ən\
Fonction: nom
"C'est un ninja mort-vivant qui cherche à venger la mort de sa famille et de son clan de son assassin, Sub-Zero. Le Sub-Zero de Mortal Kombat I a péri de sa main. Lors de Mortal Kombat 4 alors qu'il s'apprête à tuer Sub-Zero, Quan Chi fait son apparition et lui révele qu'il est le réel meurtrier de son clan, alors que Scorpion se jette sur le sorcier, celui-ci le repousse à travers un portail vers le Netherrealm, mais Scorpion l'entraina dans sa chute. Dans Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Quan Chi parvient à s'échapper du royaume des morts, en comptant sur l'aide des deux Oni, Drahmin et Moloch qui devaient repousser Scorpion qui assaillait constamment le sorcier. Dans Mortal Kombat Deception, on apprend que Scorpion est le Champion des Dieux Anciens. Il a été envoyé pour empêcher Onaga (le Roi Dragon) de ressusciter, sans compter la participation de Shujinko qui avait été dupé par Onaga et qui croyait qu'en rassemblant les Kamidogus, il empêcherait la résurrection du Roi Dragon."

Over the weekend I went to a warehouse party that supposedly featured Flosstradamus on the decks. But since I wasn't familiar with them, nor what they looked like, I was never sure if they actually were there or not. Anyway we had a gay ole time. Moral of the story: never turn down the chance to go to a warehouse party. Ever.

The Difference It Makes

A rainy monday morning and I'm a bit hung over. I'm riding it out with some green tea and some songs with a heavy beat, hardly any vocals and repetitive synths.

Some amazing mp3 blog things are happening around San Francisco within the next couple of weeks. I saw a flyer for this last night.

BLOW UP

Writers Basura and Disaster from the Missingtoof blog are DJing which means it should be a good show. The fact that they can represent themselves as "Missingtoof DJs" is an incredible testament to the power of mp3 blogs. This is only bizarre to me because I've personally never heard anyone really discuss mp3 blogs at all. In any case, check this show out if you are in the area; I am going to try and go myself. I've been to the Rickshaw once before and it is a cool bar, with ample space for gettin' groovay.

Otherwise, it's time to make your plans for New Years. If you want something flashy, Diplo and Pharrell from fluokids is DJing here in the city. I don't know if Pharrell DJs or travels very often, but if he's from Orléans like his myspace site says he is, then he must be pretty psyched to be coming to San Francisco for this party. Orléans sucks!

Lets make love

CSS - Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above (Diplo remix)

Le Tigre - After Dark (Diplo remix)

But I am not going to that show because Check McNugal (aka Amir) will be DJing at Edinburgh Castle on New Year's Eve. Here is a flyer I made myself. Excuse the poor craftmanship; I don't normally do these kinds of things.

Amirski

Anyway, I shouldn't shit-talk Orléans. I was there for less than five hours and it was a Sunday. All I did was walk around centreville and eat at Quick, which was the only thing open. Honestly, it's a nice town.
