on the topic of games we play.

today i finally figured out how to hook up my nintendo.

at least ten years after i last played it...i played super mario brothers.

i cannot even try to explain the excitement i felt when i heard the music come on.

i felt like a kid who got exactly what they wanted for their birthday.

okay...so i dont play video games now.

i dont even own a console other than the nintendo...or the 64 which i never used much.

but can i just say that the original nintendo is the bees knees.

so much fun!

and the castle still scares me.

its even more terrifying because now everything is new again.

i dont have each level memorized or anything.

each step is a step into the unknown.

anyways i just wanted to express my joy with all of you.

on the topic of why the swedes are sweet.

give me your eyes, i need sunshine.

i made this mix for a friend of mine for her birthday (please excuse my careless typing mistake on chad vangaalen!)

the playlist took me quite a while to come up with, and then even longer to narrow down.  i couldn't come up with a fitting theme, so i decided to go with "some of my favourites" (i have too many favourites) - some of the songs i don't listen to anymore/forgot about/haven't listened to in years, but have at some point been my fave (tracks 4, 5, 9, 17... more recently - 1, 2, 7, 17, 19).  some of the songs are my all-time faves (tracks 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20).  and some of the songs are current faves (all the other tracks).  

i'm not sure if the photo is big enough to read...

1.  everybody say - takka takka

2.  my year in lists - los campesinos!

3.  it doesn't have to be beautiful - slow club

4.  wing finger - chad vangaalen
