Watching this video makes me want to play everything. Which I can, cause they're free. This is gonna be the least productive weekend ever.

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done round here.
Right so I whipped up a little music section on our sidebar. It's over there (---->) and down. Until there's new posts. Then it might be up. Anyway, it's a good way to post music. What I think we should do is put music up on a rotation. Right now I have my song (actually two, cause I'm first so screw you) up, and we'll leave that up for x amount of days, to be determined later. Then Tim will put his up, and then Hannah, and so on. The other two don't get a turn cause they suck. I figure it's a great way to share and discover new music, and to show you guys how much better my music is. Let's keep it fresh so try not to post Switchfoot each time Tim.
It's pretty easy to edit the thing, I'll teach you two when you get home. It took a ungodly amount of tweaking so you're damn well welcome. And again, Rebekah and Griffin suck.
Right, so I'm first this round with two songs by The Submarines. The first one's from an iPod commercial, and I just love the second one and didn't want to leave it out. I just downloaded them last night and think they're fantastic. So if anybody wants to not be like my beautiful girlfriend and download the rest of the album... you know.
EDIT: Oh right, I'm using Dropbox to host the mp3s. So Hannah, unless you want to find another host... you know.
I was supposed to try out this photography contest Tim told me about on Giz, something about lens flare in a picture BUT it's been raining for the past like 4 days. And inside pictures, especially when they're in my house, are boring. Is it weird to have dates with people who have girlfriends? There's some crazy Bob Marley crud playing on the radio now. Also I need Harvest Moon, I'm such an epic farmer. This was supposed to be an I-miss-Tim post, yeah. Wasn't I supposed to do Sleeping Giant things today? Hmmohwell. Being the only person a person cares about is a pretty cool thing. Also I need to think of a way to convince TMar that Tim and I aren't going out. Cause we aren't. Yeah Charlie, we aren't.
