Oh man it's The New Year... It's been The New Year for some time I guess. The New Near has kept me busy and away from the site. :(
Well this year is Sonic's 35th anniversary. He's middle aged now and that kinda freaks me out. I've been there playing his games since the beginning and it is pretty neat that he's still relevant. There was indeed as time where it seemed like it was extremely uncool to like Sonic and I'm happy to see that time has passed as kids are secure enough to wear Sonic clothing once again.
Here's a neat video Sega made to celebrate:
And here are some videos that I used to watch at least once a day when I first started to learn how to use and browse the Internet. Back when videos had to be downloaded in order to watch them and they even still had to buffer while existing on your hard drive.
Cheers!

I've been feeling the holiday cheer lately so we went down to Solvang to see the Christmas stuff which was fun. It's been relatively cold too which is helpful in bringing on the cozy, yuletide feelings. Lots of wearing shawls and sweaters and watching Lord of the Rings.
Anyway, just wanted to give a nice holiday check in.
Cheers!

It is currently November 5th and it just rained. Nice! The Halloween decorations are down and I'm ready for some cozy swaeter weather. Been drinking lots of tea and wearing my wizard shawl around the house. :>
Went around the site adding a few new things to sidebars and such. Maybe gonna add a new shrine soon. We'll see!
Oh yeah! I also added some new tracks to the music page by our super cool band Samadhi. Check em out!
Cheers!

Hello!!
Summer is almost over, but here in California it feels like it's just starting.
During the summer i like to doodle islands because when it's hot all I want to do is go live on the beach under a palmtree and that's where my mind goes by default. The blue, sparkling water is pretty darn inviting and I can just imagine myself diving in and swimming around with a huge smile on my face.
For whatever reason, I forgot to draw some islands this summer, but I did get to go out to the river with my friends which was a spiritually refreshing experience. We had the whole campground to ourselves and being able to hike out into the river to our usual spot was a dream come true. It's got a nice, deep watering hole to swim in and rocks all around to jump off of and a branch that hangs out over the water that I can hang off like a monkey."
So to commemorate my trip to the river and my general mindset during the sweltering parts of summer, and to make up for the fact that I didn't draw any islands this year, here are some of my favorite gaming islands.
Cheers!

Hey hey wassup!
The Monkey Den turned one year old!!!
...like a month ago...

Better late than never!
I thought maybe I'd have more stuff going on here in a year, but it's been a nice place to dump art and random thoughts so that's cool. :)
Here's to many more... wonder where we'll be next year?? :O
Cheers!

hi hi hi
New review coming soon and maybe some new art... Until then...
Gizz is coming out with a new album aaaaany day now. Here's a couple vids from it.
This one is great because it really takes it back to early Gizz days of just filming the boys being wacky with some goofy props.
And this one's kind of something new for them... This vid was shot super professionally and I really think they have a great screen presence here. I feel like they would do well acting in a movie someday.
Anydangway...
Cheers!

I was gonna date this entry to be in March then I looked at the little clock on the taskbar and it's April. That happened fast!
I beat Kirby and the Forgotten Lands recently so I figured I'd make that my first game review on the site! Check it out over on the GAMES page.
Cheers!
