I was tagged by sunshine95 to do this music meme. The instructions are thus:

1. List your five favourite artists
2. List your five favourite songs by those artists
3. Tag five other people to do it

A few days ago, my sister bought for me the book "The Goodies Rule OK" by Robert Ross. It was a random purchase; she just happened to see it and knew how I absolutely loved [The Goodies], so she bought it. My sister's great. (c: Anyway, the book covers a lot of ground, from before The Goodies actually existed as a group, and covering (albeit ( Read more... )

[OM NOM NOM NOM] - A hedgehog eating a carrot (I think?). Link stolen off anyasy.

[Art from Math] - Pretty pictures. :P Stolen from [slashdot]

And in other news, I've finished playing The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on Nintendo DS. It was Great. It made excellent use of the DS' capabilities, and was great fun to play. (Except that I had to ( Read more... )

A new vaguely Chinese New Year-inspired icon. My gnome mage celebrating the lunar festival in World of Warcraft. A slightly larger, intermediate pic:

新年快乐，恭喜发财

Happy New Year Year :P

Tan, I hope you're enjoying your day off. *grumbles good-naturedly*

So, leading up to the Lunar New Year I've been cleaning up my room, and vacuuming it and dusting it. I must say that it is now vastly easier with my wooden floor than carpet is. Although I still wish more of my drawers and shelves and stuff were on wheels. I am also somewhat horrified at the amount of dust I managed to sweep/vacuum up.

Mmm. Was ( Read more... )

My parish priest likes to put a humour section in our weekly bulletins; the jokes tend to be very hit-and-miss. I found this one amusing, though, so sharing it:

A new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks an older priest to sit in on the sessions. The new priest hears several confessions, and then the old priest asks him to ( Read more... )

"I Wanna Be The Guy" revisited

Regarding the game "I Wanna Be The Guy", mentioned in an [ earlier post], here is [the first video] in a set of videos of someone's attempt to play the game from start to end, with his own recorded commentary over the top. It isn't a perfect-run, so he dies many, many, many times as he tries to suss out his way ( Read more... )

I was discussing with sunshine95 a few days back how I tend to go through phases where I'll become.. obsessed, almost.. with a particular song/band/soundtrack/type of music/etc (The "Les Misérables" phase is an example of this that tends to recur yearly).

Anyway, most recent phase has been Fleetwood Mac.

I'd heard of the band before, but knew nothing of them ( Read more... )

So one of my friends for some odd reason, was thinking about playing D&D again. I don't think we've played since high school. Anyway, he's talking to me, and says, "I decided to look up some d&d stuff, i didn't realise there used to be such a stigma attached to it."

I'd pretty much been aware of it for some time. So I ask, "You didn't?"

"Well, no ( Read more... )
