SNWD #3: Return of The Happy Buffet

What a great day. I woke up after the nicest dream that I've had in a while -- quite possibly ever. In the dream, my friends and I were at the beach, we when we were about to leave, one of them picked up someone's shoe and we started playing catch with it. Everyone was laughing and smiling and the sun was out.

Then I woke up, and the day before, it had been raining throughout the day, so I was pretty excited to look out the window and check out the sky with huge, clean white, puffy clouds, and yup, great sky today.

Later on, in the afternoon, my whole family gathered at my cousin's house to celebrate her 21st birthday. No drinking or anything. Instead, we got together, nostalgia'd and laughed over pansit, tri-tip, and WingStop. My god that was amazing.

But during all of this, my blog came up, and it turns out, people really look forward to new posts, so yeah, I'm back with renewed blogging fervor.

And to my buddy that wanted MOAR GAMEZ, check these out. Still involves tons of jumping though. Will find less jumping games and will be posting reviews of these games soon.

Sunday Night Wind Down #2

This week I have a mesmerizing Minecraft video. Minecraft (for those of you living under a rock) is an online multiplayer sandbox game in which players build and destroy things with blocks. It's an extremely simple concept, but give people a chance to mess around with it and good things happen. It's amazing the things people come up with. I actually check youtube and reddit for Minecraft news just for funzies.

But yeah, watch the video. OH! but check this: When I first played the video, I was listening to "Lover's Carvings" by Bibio, and I thought, "Hey this fits pretty good," and then I listened to the actual music that Cresty (the video producer's reddit username) put on the video, and it made me wanna put on Yo La Tengo's "Our Way to Fall" especially cause of the night time parts in the video.

So like, yeah, try out some songs with the video and lemme know what you guys think fits well.

Sunday Night Wind Down

I dunno about you guys, but on Sunday nights, I get into this subdued, introverted mode, and I like to listen to things or watch things or read things that are passive and quiet. I like to slowly ease my way into the new week.

So yeah, I'm gonna start a weekly segment called Sunday Night Wind Down in which I give a link, an anecdote, or anything really that hopefully provides a relaxing experience. Last week, I linked a game called Small Worlds which if you haven't checked it out, check it out.

Anyway, this week, I have a song for you guys. A friend of mine wrote this in the summer, and honestly, I'm pretty fucking jealous that he never writes a bad song, ya know?
