I have a TV now! Although I shant hardly use it for anything besides movies, the occasional awards show or 30 rock episode it is already performing its prime directive… powering my Nintendo lust. Through sheer coincidence or possibly Nintendo’s overwhelming dominance of modern pop culture I stumbled across a new site today called The Tanooki. I unfortunately had a lonely enough childhood to know that the Tanooki is Mario’s Adorable Raccoon suit from SMB3. This site is an obsessive tribute to all things Nintendo where I found such gems as a frightening, lifelike rendering of Mario and a NES harmonica (you know, cause you blow into it).
Now if you’ll excuse me I have some mushrooms to eat and some tiny dinosaurs to ride.
I made that one up. And its reason enough that I only took 1 math class in College(unless you count beginning Computer Science). There is a Flickr collection of flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, Bar Graphs and Pie charts of the narratives from rock songs. Some of them are quite amazing. Some of them made me notice that am in not in touch with much of modern hip-hop. It also reminded me how many math classes I spent drawing band names on my notebooks.
