marbles roll- we all know that. where do they roll? around. where ever they can roll. they will not sit still if they have to. maybe i should learn something from them... to be specific- they always try to go towards the ground. From high to low. i do not wish to copy that specifically. marbles get a thumbs up from me- especially when there's many of them rolling around.

I took a walk today, one that was cut short by the heat. I brought along a Zero Sugar Slurpee and a small bag of Gushers. The walk and the snack clearly balance each other out into a nice net zero for my nutrition. Ever since I purchased The Soft Bulletin on CD, I've been listening to a lot of The Flaming Lips. The Soft Bulletin in particular is fantastic- a wonderful blend of psychedelia and melancholy. Right in my wheelhouse. On my abridged walk, however, I was listening to their album entitled Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. It's an album of theirs I'd actually heard a long time ago- maybe more than 10 years ago.

One song that the station played here and here was Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt 1. I remember liking it, but eventually moving on and preferring other tracks....
Rollercoasters are excitement, on rails. What you will experience on a roller coaster everyone else will experience. In my past and even still now, there was nothing I wanted more than to see POVs of roller coasters. I wanted to feel like I was there. I poured over a book of top 10 roller coasters. I scraped through flash games at school, looking for one that could give me some of that 3d goodness. I played rollercoaster rush on my brother's friend's iPod as they played Halo 3. I was thrilled by the bits of movies where characters would slide down things and then the camera would enter a first person view, ala Spy Kids 3, Barnyard, and Hot Wheels World Race. Eventually I found Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 while at a roller coaster based summer education camp. I knew of Roller Coaster Tycoon before, but 3 actually let you enter the first person when building coasters. The rest of the game didn't matter. I have a dusty memory of playing a roller coaster game where you built coast...
