Wow, this thing is really sucking up my clock cycles. I'm up to level 9; but am having a little trouble figuring this one out. 8 took me two hours of sporadic checking (i do the puzzles as small breaks during work). This one is going to take me a bit longer, I think.

Whoo-hoo!! I got all 12 levels!! Aparently all this problem solving is good for something after all.

I'm addicted to gprime now.

Especially the drum machine flash and the Puzzled Sheep game.

Wheee!!!!

The drum flash was an example of how imagination and a bit of technical knowhow make for the Wow. All the technical knowhow in the marble means zippo if you don't have a clear vision and a desire to stretch. And I'm such a sucker for the Cute, too. Duh, Japanese? *points at nose*

Yay! I'm a taiko fan as well!

Oh, in case you're wondering, the kanji above the tagline drummer at the beginning reads 'Tokyo Plastic'.

Wow! That was so cool! Kinako, I don't know if you know of Fubuki Daiko (http://www.fubuki.ca/) out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, but they're really good.

by **kinako mochi** on Wed Mar 23, 2005 3:18 pm

I'm a big fan of Kodo. Their stuff is the gold standard. Did you know to become a professional taiko drummer in Japan, you have to do everything outside of practice with your weak hand? In order to develop ambidexterity? Not only that, but some taiko performances are sitting in a half-situp position for many, many minutes, drumming furiously on top of that! They're in fantastic shape.

Twice a summer on Maui, there are o-bon festivals I used to attend with my family, the one in Lahaina with a taiko drummer. 'Yorokobi' from the Fubuki Daiko samples reminds me a lot of the beats I heard from that time. Doesn't it make you feel like kicking a knee up and waving your hands? Yorokobi means 'joy'.

I also am very viscerally moved by bells. Ringing the bell in the bell tower in my avatar, was the only time the kancho (archbishop) of Chozenji (at the time, Tanouye Tenshin Rotaishi, a fearsomely powerful martial artist and Zen master) complimented me in all of my fumblings at the dojo. Listening to hand bells(?) during the recent holiday season at the local botanical gardens was also an almost mystical experience. I think it has something to do with metal (my Chinese readings are heavily Metal).

by **Fhqwhgads** on Thu Mar 24, 2005 6:37 am

Yeah, My wife and I got to see them live once when we were still living in Mpls. I saw them doing the half-situp stuff you're talking about...my abs hurt just watching them.

I think I sat down and tried to figure mine out one time (years ago when I still in college) but don't remember the results. :-?

by **Kestralyn** on Thu Mar 24, 2005 7:14 am

I got to see Kodo live a couple of years ago (we actually use one of their pieces as a fusion belly dance number -- always winds up with folks screaming!) and it was just amazing.

Fubuki Daiko has a different vibe, but they're marvelous. It is a more Western-ized show, simply because the performers are Western. But their sensai is a classically (is that the correct term?) trained taiko drummer from Japan, so they keep the spirit there. I wound up bouncing in my seat when I saw them live.

I've actually told my DH that if we ever wind up in a city with a dojo, we will be joining!

Have I mentioned how much I like this doll maker?

Look! It's a sexy, spring-timey me!

Well, not exactly . . . . Anyway . . . .

Yay! Cuuute!

Anyone seen this one? It's hilarious.

It's a South Park model maker. You can create yourself as a South Park character!

Pablo spanked me (again--I'm a bad dog) 'cuz I posted this at the regular forum. But I had to Google to find Wapsi Pub!

ANYWAY, this thing's had me giggling for nights now. If you've ever seen British (or any other country's) children's traffic-safety videos, other parodies ("Don't Drive Your Car On The Pavement" from The Young Ones comes to mind)--or if you just like Aardman Animation's other works, dig in.

I think it's a howl, and hope you like it.

Possibly the most useful site on the Intarweb.

http://www.doineedajacket.com/

Do I Need A Jacket, tells you just that. You have to put your zip code in or nearest big city (for me London) and the site will tell you whether or not you need a Jacket. I mean, who cares about checking the weather forecast to see what exact temperature it is out?? No need, just need to know whether a jacket is needed

Classic.

Oh, now THAT'S a sweet link.
