Feeling Nostalgic

The beautiful thing about the internet is its ability to age us faster than ever. In that vein, I present some brilliant ways to waste some time today, bringing you back to a simpler time. A time when 8-bits were plenty, before MP3s and before blogs.

This journey actually began on my trip to Bali, when Marshall and I couldn't find the warp to level 8 as we played Super Mario Brothers on the Thai Airways plane in-seat video game system.

Of all of this Mariobilia, the best has to be the Mario Opera. Take the time to listen to the songs - they add so much back story.

And finally,the missing warp zone.

Just how big is YOUR big, big world?

Got this from my friend Mechum's web site. It's pretty cool.

Sharing is Caring

Inspired by a recent question, I'd like to pose a typical question in an atypical way.

What is on your bookshelf, in your CD collection or DVD collection that would impress me?

Here's my list.

CD: Kevin Johansen - An Alaskan-born Spanish language singer from Argentina. The first Anglo to be nominated for a Latin grammy.

Book: Jitterbug Perfume, by Tom Robbins. Robbins is a subtle philosopher. The ideas are packed into fierce, witty narratives that are like none other.

DVD: Intellectual answer: Amelie. A great French film that plays with time and (gasp!) the meaning of life and love. Plus, Audrey Tautou is crazy gorgeous. Real answer: Anything starring Will Ferrel, except Bewitched.

How about you? Post as anonymous or join jc.org.

That's money that I could I have earned by selling a photo.....sheesh!
