christine and neil came for a visit and we all went to
trails for snacks. we brought the bumbo along so margot
could sit on something while we ate.

martin told neil to wear it as a hat and neil decided to
take it one step further to nerdom by referencing eomer.
don't pretend like you don't know. if you're reading this
either you are, or are married to, or are in a relationship
with a nerd.

bumbo_eomer

we came back to the house so that they could have some bonding
time with margot. you can't really tell from these pictures, but christine
is 7 1/2 months preggers! i wonder if their little girl and margot will
play eowyn and arwen?

A long overdue post.....

In early October, Christine asked me if I wanted to accompany her to the Sysco foodshow in Toronto. All she had to say was "samples" and I was so there. I spent the night at her house because we had to get up at the ungodly hour of 6am. We dropped her hubby off at work and I promptly fell asleep in the car. The traffic was horrific as we made our way to TO, I think I woke up just as we arrived at the convention center. We promptly checked in and made our way around. OMG, can we say died and gone to heaven. I wish I wouldnt have eaten breakfast because I wasnt that hungry and there were so many samples to enjoy. I tasted what I could, and loaded up on the rest. By the time we left, we were too full to even go out to lunch. We came away with a huge bag of samples( some even full size). I can't wait for the next show!!

YTMND Watch (I'll Bet You Were Expecting a Different Lead) & the Best Beatles Song EVAR

YTMNDs of the Week

Now that my Internet Love is very much alive and kicking, the flood of YTMNDead sites has ceased and people have begun to just start making stupid sites again. My buddy Aaron has sent me a couple of awesome sites over the last few days: Gumpin, ...but your kids are gonna love it, and ytmndwd: 100% Expert mode.

BRB getting Christine

Me and my pretty lady

Alright, I just got back from the Hamachi House, a fantastic sushi place around the corner from where we live. There is something so addictive about sushi - Christine and I have been mad for it lately. Thank God we're moving to a place in the North End that's also near a sushi bar! Before sushi, I picked Christine up from school - she got a 97% on her exam tonight! She's not just all looks, you know.

OK back to YTMND.

Me, I gotta give my YTMND of the week award to one that was just posted today - not only does it have Will Smith in it, which makes it an instant 5 in my books, but it's mashed up with something that is cosmically appropriate for this blog. Indeed, this YTMND was made for this blog. And so, I present to you, our YTMND of the Week:

The Fresh Prince of Mushroom Kingdom

This is a great mash-up, in my estimation. The eerie timeliness of its content makes it an all-the-more appropriate choice - the graphics are from Mario World, and the music is from Mario 3. There are actually quite a few fantastic Will Smith YTMNDs if you poke around.

Final Year Project: Making a Video Game!

This post, unfortunately, will not be long enough to address all of the outrageous allegations raised by the nefarious Torbox. I have a Hardware exam tomorrow, and I really must start studying for it soon. Alas, that requires my blog tonight to be shorter than I would like.

I would like to say, though, that I'll be starting up a team project in about 2 weeks - a five-week project where Brandon Tattrie, Emily VanZeumeren, Ella Silver, and yours truly are making a game! I'll be making a lot of blog posts on the development process during that time. Hopefully, we'll even have a game for y'all to try!

We're going to do a platformer, and I can tell you that it's gonna be a weird one. It'll be in Flash, so I'm hoping to have something that I can post here when the project is over. Maybe we can get it on Kongregate!

IMBC: Break Down Your Favorite Song

I don't have one favorite song to rule them all. I would say that my favorite artist of all time is Bob Dylan, and of all of his songs, Visions of Johanna, She's Your Lover Now, and Drifter's Escape are probably the three that come the quickest to mind as my favorites.

Live 1966

But I've been actually listening to a ton of Beatles lately, and I think I'd rather talk about my favorite Beatles song. The Beatles are my favorite band overall, and Tomorrow Never Knows is definitely my favorite Beatles song. Light years ahead of anything ever made before it, this song has been a massive influence on electronic artists and rock artists alike. It occupies a space in music all its own - hypnotic, transcendent, driving, John sing-chants his vocal a relentlessly groovy bassline, blending their Indian musical influences with some serious studio wizardry. When John sings, "It is shining, It is shining", listen for the incredible synthesizer swells and squiggles in the background. The pulsating backbeat and orchestral, trancey wall of sound can be heard in later genres as diverse as hip-hop, breakbeat, techno, and psychedelic rock. The Chemical Brothers owe their entire careers to this song.

Here it is. Lyrics are provided below.

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
