You just try laughing your ass off silently.

Mad props to innostrantsa for posting this site. I'm having some trouble restraining myself from giving my usual loud belly laugh, as there are people sleeping around me.

The ways parents torment their kids begins before birth it seems...

Bad bad bad bad baby names

Mix Tape Maven strikes again

So I have finally finished my Songs without Words tape, and it is beautiful.

Songs Without Words is a mix tape/CD theme originally started by either darkling_dreams or gossamer_gull, I don't quite remember which and just involved putting your favorite music without actual lyrics into a compilation. It was something I always wanted to do, and never quite got right until now.

The track list is as follows:

Side A:

• Zbigniew Preisner - Main Title from The Secret Garden
  
• Yoko Kanno - Charm (Escaflowne)
  
• Astor Piazolla - Por una Cabeza (Tango from True Lies and Scent of a Woman)
  
• BlackMore's Night - Mono Canz
  
• Jethro Tull - Bourée
  
• Mark Knopfler - Friends (The Princess Bride)
  
• Dune - Valley Of Tears
  
• Eric Serra - Akta (The Fifth Element)
  
• Genesis - The Brazilian
  
• Nobuo Uematsu - Freja's Theme (Final Fantasy IX)
  
• Morcheeba - Diggin' A Watery Grave
  
• Kenji Kawai - Theme from Vampire Princess Miyu
  
• Noriyuki Asakura - Run To You - A Theme of Sagara Sanosuke (Rurouni Kenshin)
  
• Joe Satriani - Oriental Melody
  
• Mundy - Escape From Mantua (Romeo + Juliet)
  
• Fluke - Zion (The Matrix Reloaded)
  
• R.E.M. - Endgame

Side B:

• Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
  
• Henry Mancini - Baby Elephant Walk
  
• Delerium - Gateway
  
• Chopin - Walz Triste (Waltz in C# minor)
  
• Dave Brubeck - Take Five
  
• The Grateful Dead - Serengetti
  
• Brother Bones - Sweet Georgia Brown (Harlem Globetrotters Theme. Yep, go ahead and beat the New Yorker)
  
• Eric Serra - Heat (The Fifth Element)
  
• The Ventures - Wipeout
  
• Squirrel Nut Zippers - The Interlocutor
  
• Noriyuki Asakura - Tsuki mo naku, Hoshi mo naku (Rurouni Kenshin)
  
• Yann Tiersen - La valse d'Amélie (orchestral - Amélie)
  
• Steve Sharples - Bolero (Moulin Rouge! End Titles)
  
• Vangelis - Hymn

There's of course more that didn't fit (may still swap or squeeze in Ray Lynch's Celestial Soda Pop) but I suppose that can wait for another tape . . . I also kinda cheated with the last song, as Hymn does have words, except sung very softly . . . Still. It's beautiful.

What is with today and web sites?

For the second time today I have recieved a link from a friend that has had me cramping in both sides from laughter. This one comes courtesy of harinezumi.
