  • Saturday 24 | End of the World – Skeeter Davis

    I first heard this song about fifteen years ago and was a little caught off-guard because the the lyrics and melody didn’t seem to match. See for yourself.

    Lyrics:
    Why does the sun go on shining?
    Why does the sea rush to shore?
    Don’t they know it’s the end of the world,
    ‘Cause you don’t love me any more?
    Why [...]

  • Thursday 22 | Say what?!

    Every now and then I get a comment that’s not exactly English – actually, it’s not even recognizable characters. Just a bunch of boxes with four characters within each quadrant. Turns out, its just the way my email was translating the Asian characters. Here’s a sample translation of an actual comment.
    ?? ??? [...]

  • Wednesday 21 | Sharkitecture.NET

    As you may recall, my second attempt at the CSE (orals) is coming up and I’ve been studying like a mad man.

    “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is a seventeen-minute, five-second psychedelic rock song by Iron Butterfly, released on their 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, [...]

    One of the many things people gave Corbin for Christmas this year was a kids wagon. Wagon for Two Plus by Step2, specifically. When grandma (nana) watched him over the weekend a while back, she discovered how much he enjoyed riding in her garden wagon, so she got him his own wagon to [...]
