* If you have not yet heard the story about my dad believeing that he is an alien, remind me to tell you sometime. No, he is not insane - my father is actually very healthy, successful and wise. And from another planet. Which means that I am technically from another planet too - at least partially, right? Right. The quiz can't lie. Tee-hee!

Kickin' It Old Skizzool

That ^^ was for you, Nuje. Icky.

But it sort of relates to what I want to share right now. And that is this: I hope you are all well aware that the S.O.S. Band was one of the greatest bands ever.
Discography
Mary Davis should never be allowed to stop singing. And that music!! I wonder how much of my love for them is nostalgia though. Nah, it can't be that - how could I get nostalgic about high school. High school totally sucked. Except for the part where I listened to the S.O.S. Band all of the time. That part was cool. Seriously great, awesome stuff. If you have somehow managed to have never heard them you must find some and play it loudly.

If you have Real Player you can listen to these clips (I quickly grabbed them from Amazon, don't yell at me)
The Finest
Tell Me If You Still Care
No One's Gonna Love You - can't find a link.

Hasta La Vista TV, Hello Guitar Hero!!


I played Iron Man before I went to bed last night. How many of you can say the same, huh?
Greatest. Game. Ever.
Just LOOK at this list of songs you can play:

Are you KIDDING ME???? Cowboys From Hell?? Unsung?? Smoke On The Water?? Oh geeez, ALL of them rule. Whoever came up with this game and this list of songs is my new most favoritest person on Earth.
And these are the real songs btw, by the original artists - makes me want to hook some kick-awesome speakers to the television. But now that I've spent all of my money on a guitar video game, I'll have to hold off on that.

I also finally canceled cable - which basically means that we have no need for our television anymore other than to have a place to watch DVDs. Oh, and play Guitar Hero. Cool!
I thought the kids might be a little freaked, but they seem completely fine and totally unaffected by it. Phew. I guess part of that could have to do with the fact that their father is Martin Tupper and they get to spend some time with him each week.

Friday Five

Okay, I am determined to get this up before Friday is completely over.

Time once again for me to pay homage to the now 2 years defunct Friday Five. I'll ask 5 questions and put my responses after them and then you are supposed to copy and paste the questions but change the answers to your own answers in my comments section. Good fun, yes?? No, that wasn't the first question.

Here we go.

1. If you didn't have a computer, what would you be doing right at this very second instead of reading this blog entry?
Hmmm. I guess if I didn't have a computer, right now at this very moment, I'd be wondering why I am sitting in the office, facing the wall, holding my arms approximately waist high and tapping my fingers in various, seemingly random patterns about 1 inch above the surface of my desk.

2. If I gave you a raw stalk of asparagus and a jar of Manic Panic hair dye, what would you do with them?
Oh, easy. Eat the raw asparagus stalk (is that unhealthy? even if it is, it's good) and put the jar of Manic Panic in the linen closet. It's not really my shade, but I may wish to use it at a later date. Can I have some more asparagus?

3. What is your favorite board game?
Scrabble. I haven't played a good game of Scrabble in SO long. That is on the ever growing list of Things That Are Not So Much Fun To Do By Yourself. ::siiiigh:: [insert woe-is-me-drama-queen-pose.gif, complete with back of hand resting against forehead]

4. If you were going to be a voice actor, what pseudonym would you choose for yourself?
What? Are you high? Okay, whatever ... how about Penelope Chatsome?

5. Since we are all just sub-atomic particles in some Gargantuanly Larger Civilization's molecules, what GLC everyday object do you like to believe we are all a part of?
It is definitely a musical instrument of some sort. I'm thinking we are floating around in what is the GLC equivalent of a bass guitar string. I say "equivalent" because although it has the same function and composition, it has a freaky name because of them having a whole different language and all. No, this is not my interpretation of String Theory, this is what I really think is going on. Out there. Way out there. We are on a bass. Prove me wrong.

Your turn!!

And This Is Why We Love Think Geek

From the Think Geek Overlords:
"In case you didn't know, Mother's day is fast approaching. Though
conceived during the American Civil War and not formalized until 1914,
Mother's day doesn't have to include the traditional gifts like
flowers and brunch on Sunday. How about hooking mom up with some cool
swag, a gadget or two, some techie jewelry, or maybe even a licensed
Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber? We know our moms get bored with the same bath salts and gift certificates for a massage, so use those extra brain pathways that you needed to code in Assembly and think of all the great ways you can tell mom she r0x0rs."
