The first video is by request... sorry it's so long but I haven't figured out how to speed up portions of the video. I cut the repetitive stuff out though and saved an extra 10 minutes. The Pearl Jam in the background cuts in and out, my apologies to any die hard fans who may object. The other is mu...

So I'm stuck on this song in Hard mode... I can't even imagine trying to do it in Expert, much less get 100% like this guy. Mad props! Which begs the question — how long does one have to sit around playing this video game in their parent's basement in order to get that good? I'd call the guy a los...

Mixtape from http://favtape.com/sya/2-20-09 And don't forget to check out Zombie Friday over at Charon's blog... because it's funny shit, and I said so, that's why!...

The story behind the cookies... First batch - 1:30 PM. My sister is to blame. She gave me the wrong instructions, I know she did. Three times now, I have tried to use the recipe she gave me for the traditional shortbread cookies our family used to make every year around the holidays and each time, t...

Favtape is back up and running smoothly. Mixtape from http://favtape.com/sya/1-30-09 Wise man once said that a reed that won't bend in the wind... gets all fucked up and shit. It has become my personal motto. My totally crazy life is totally crazy. I could write a book one day and astound you all. I...

Will I ever master this song on Guitar Hero's hardest level?! I'd be happy with 3 stars at this point. I may be getting blisters and a stiff back. Don't laugh. It's not easy! Gotta respect those guitarists! I mean, how do those guys have the stamina to play entire concerts, sometimes even piss drunk...

I was trying to write a serious blog post, dangitall, but then Charon had to go and comment with a link to this... ... how Lord of the Rings really should have ended. Hilarious....

Mixtape from http://favtape.com/sya/12-19-08 I have been using Mixwit to create the Five for Friday mixtapes but they've recently announced that they are in between a rock and a hard place and after December, they will no longer exist. Guess I'll be using Favtape from now on....

I was at a friends baby shower recently and my taste buds fell in lust with the mini-muffin-pan quiches the hostesses served. Not only were they cute as heck, but delicious to boot. It was then that I realized I'd never attempted to made a quiche myself. Well, that just had to be remedied! Here is a...

Is it just me or is this song making some kind of huge come back? I hear it all the time now — on that episode of Chuck, they play it on the radio all the damn time, Rush even played it live on the Colbert Report! At the risk of possibly offending all you hardcore Rush fans, I didn't like this son...
