Yes, it is possible to play Guitar Hero 3 and look after a baby at the same time…

28 May 08 Im burning through the sky, yeah!
If you live in the UK you may have come across a series of adverts for Cadburys Chocolate. The first advert featured a gorillia playing the drums to a Phil Collins track, and the latest one is equally unrelated to choccy…

WTF!! I love this advert, it makes me squeal with joy like a 6 year old boy 
I also love ‘Dont Stop Me Now’ It makes me want to jump up and down like a 6 year old – its just SO FUCKING EXCITING
When i started to look for a ‘uke friendly’ version of this track, i was very surprised to discover that Al over at ukulele hunt hadn’t already done one, so here goes…
The tendancy (for me, anyway) is to play this as fast as possible, but im afriad you’ll have to slow down, cos theres some quick chord changes for the ‘dont stop me now’ bit.
Even if you havent got a copy of Queens Greatest Hits, the chances are that your Dad does. (its the law!!) But if not, get it here

15 May 08 Fat monkeys put on diet at Japanese park
Fat monkeys at a Japanese park have been put on a diet, and signs have been erected to stop the public from lobbing bananas into their enclosure.
Wardens at Ohama Park in Sakai, near Osaka, have cut down the amount of food they give to the rhesus monkeys from 22lbs (10kg) a day to 4.4lbs (2kg), because many of them are obese. Almost a third of the 50 animals are overweight.
Some of them are so obese they find it hard to even move around their enclosure
While i like the idea of fat monkeys (doesnt everyone), shame on the zoo for allowing them to get in this state. Maybe the instigation of a monkey olympics event would give them impetus need to get back into shape?

I found this on my flickr feed. Wow! I have no idea how they sound, but they look brilliant!
Roll over to Papa’s Boxes and check them out. They look temptingly affordable. I wonder if you can still open the box?
I WANT!!!!!

14 May 08 I want more stage
Another one off the juno soundtrack thats been sitting on my HD for months. I would have posted it ages ago, but a baby came along and stole all my spare time
We could argue as to whether this is played with a ‘G’ & ‘C’, or whether its a ‘G’ & ‘Cmaj7′. Or whether its both! (some of the interweb seem to think thats its ‘C’, with a ‘Cmaj7′ at the end of each verse)
Ive decided that IM playing it with a ‘G’ & a ‘Cmaj7′, because i think it sounds nicest :p
It also makes it very easy to play, which is very good for beginners. (Like my friend Rob, who STILL hasnt picked his new Uke up!!) All you have to do lift your index finger and your ring finger (as long as you’re married) to switch between chords! RESULT!
Anyone else but you – Moldy Peaches/Michael Cera & Ellen Page
The Lyrics are from the film version, rather than the Moldy Peaches version, but you can find them without much difficultly on the www

02 May 08 GTA:IV FTW
I couldnt face buying GTA:IV at midnight on the 29th, but i did buy it on the way to work at 8 in the morning. The guy in blockbusters said that they had 450 people turn up at midnight, and were open until 3:30am!
I am enjoying it, but my progress is very very slow (through lack of opportunity to play)
I did a little mission in front of my mother yesterday (She has been up for a couple of days to help look after Zym 2.0)
It involved me and my cousin ‘Roman’ chasing a bloke in a car. Every other word out of Roman’s mouth was either Fuck or shit – mainly cos I was banging into other cars, lamp posts & people, and on the radio was talk show caller lamenting the pharmaceutical companies for the lack of normal strength weed currently available in Liberty City.
Then, when I finally caught the guy, I punched him until he dropped his knife, then picked it up and used it to stab him to death.
I was laughing hysterically throughout all of this, while my mother was wishing she hadn’t agreed to hold the baby while I played it!!
Good Times
