Little Lion Kids

So, today has been a particularly "blah" day. I'm not working today, but it's really dreary out, and it's come to the point where, if people don't show up randomly at my house (yes, it's a common occurrence), I only sometimes make the effort to engage in some sort of social activity.

Okay, I exaggerate, but today is just one of those days where I'm restless and don't know what to do with myself. At one point, I found myself messing around with the Virtual DJ app on my computer. It's a bit of a finicky app, and a mild annoyance to save anything you might make, but it's fun to play around with. Mostly, I amuse myself by changing the pitch of songs (you can make "Party In The USA" sound like a slow acoustic cover, sung by a man. It's surprisingly nice.) However, at one point in my amateur goofing around (most of which involves my clicking random buttons and sliding different sliders. It's not a very precise job I do), I combined "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons and "Kids" by MGMT. These are two of my favorite songs, and I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I threw it onto iMovie and added a pretty picture so I could share it.

Keep in mind that I literally just overlapped these songs and slightly tweaked a few very small things (pitch, etc), and it's the definition of an amateur job. It is not perfect. And maybe it's just the fact that I made it, and I love random mash-ups, but I like how it sounds. Check it out:



Hope you enjoyed it!

Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Even Pokemon have tantrums sometimes!


Alright, so these three picture are all unedited and a part of a very quickly done photo op, but I kinda like them, especially the second one. I went to the Richmond Night Market tonight and, along with spending ridiculous amounts of money on food and ridiculous amounts of time on buses, skytrains, seabuses, and taxis, spent $4 on twenty-four little tiny pokemon. They smell like they'll give me some sort of weird, cheap-plastic-related disease just by touching them.

On my top five song list:
#4. Kids, by MGMT (but not the real music video because it's kind of creepy and involved a small child being traumatized for life by large monsters)

This song makes me unexplainably happy
