butterflies

sense :: hearing // Brookeville – Faise Dodo
Kids today have no respect! (I know, I know, I’m hardly an old geezer) I mean, look what this 12 year old did to this gorgeous painting! Sheesh. Seriously though. The poor kid. I mean, 12 is old enough to know better, when I was a child my [...]

a video moment

sense :: hearing // DJ Jolene on di.fm
Among the hiliarious videos that have made the day pass more rapidly are this comparison between real life and 3-d games narrated by and including Kevin Pereira of G4 and Shack fame, which I think is an amazing comparison, especially if you’ve ever played a first person shooter. [...]

clear blue water

sense :: smell // cologne
Every year around this time I remember the one year I totally skipped town on Spring Break and went to Miami for the Winter Music Conference and more specifically the huge, nearly 24-hour long beach party that took place smack in the middle of it. For nostalgia’s sake, the photos [...]

i just know that something good is gonna happen

sense :: taste // breakfast quesadillas
Lovely weekend, even though our much anticipated trip to Ikea turned out emptyhanded. Ah well, perhaps later this week when they restock.
In other news, rest in peace Octavia Butler. I really can’t express how bummed out I am about this; she was such an amazing writer and a trailblazing [...]

looking back at me

sense :: taste // Amy’s Teriyaki Bowl
I’ve been something of on a mental nostalgic kick the past few days, thinking back to times gone by and people I’ve known who have passed by the wayside, either graciously or otherwise, happily or otherwise. Sometimes it’s fun to take a stroll down memory lane, and other times [...]

it snowed this morning

sense :: hearing // Sonya Kitchell – Train
Imagine my surprise when we went downstairs this morning to find out it was snowing outside and had been for hours. Not enough or cold enough to cover the ground, really, but we did have to brush the wet stuff off of the car to head out for [...]

purple darkness is love

sense :: sight // purple curtains
Our new bedroom curtains are love. I mean seriously; they’re insulated deep purple and heavy fabric, so absolutely no light comes in through the windows. Glorious-I can finally sleep in the mornings-now that the sun rises pretty close to our bedroom windows, it’s nice to know that even with the [...]

objection!

sense :: hearing // Minus G – Airbourne
A quiet, overcast friday. Just how I like it. It’s even a bit windy; this is my favorite weather; overcast and windy. Makes it just dark enough outside that it’s easy on the eyes, and the wind is just amazing to feel. Love it.
I don’t own a [...]

that familiar feeling in my stomach…

sense :: hearing // Soulstice – Lovely
Oh yeah, it’s annoyance. Among the things that have been pushing my buttons lately are a comment thread over at Newsvine that was way too full of white privilege to possibly be real, and werk antics that have been getting on my last nerve. Luckily, I’ve managed to get [...]

make it so

sense :: hearing // The Beard feat. Amma – Keep Hoping
Whew. Well, that’s another resolution down. I finally managed to get my poliblog and geekblog up and running independant of each other, which means I can finally move away from Pleasant Tingle and to something new and a bit more…functional, to say the least.
For [...]

resolution progress, valentine’s day, and other things

sense :: hearing // Afro Medusa – Pasilda (Knee Deep Club Mix)
Sorry for the short stint of absences; I’ve been werking a lot behind the scenes on some other projects that I said I was going to werk on at the beginning of the year. The Millennium Winter redesign is finished, as you can tell, [...]

sense :: sight // Firefly
I don’t believe I had forgotten to blog about this earlier, but Channel 4 in the UK is airing a show called The IT Crowd. Perhaps the first absolutely honestly geeky comedy I’ve ever seen, I’ve watched the first three episodes something like 3 times each now.
The first episode is [...]

and here i never knew there was a “right way”

sense :: hearing // Half-Life 2 OST – LG Obifold
Target Australia apparently knows the right way to fold a fitted sheet, and lucky for us, they put it on the web. Seriously though, I had no idea there was a right way or a wrong way, but I’ll say this much-the Australian method seems to [...]

something new

sense :: hearing // The Verbrilli Sound – Cansada
Well, this was a long time in the making. I had wanted to move Millennium Winter to something a bit more traditionally bloggy for a long time now, and I figure that now’s as good a time as any. (and it was one of my New Year’s [...]

let it ride

sense :: hearing // Benjamin Gate – Nightglow
Behold the new hotness. See? new hotness. No more old and busted.
Comments are open (and of course moderated) so if anything’s broken, shout. In the meantime, I’ll probably trash this when I get home and post something more meaningful.
