MCSMS Episode 17 Sneak Preview

Roll up! Roll up! I've dug up a home for a sneak preview of this week's MCSMS Episode, named Whiteboard Touch. Watch below!

Get set for the blog switchover.

Mr Cheese's Random Ramblings is moving to WordPress. Why? Because there are loads more features to use on WordPress and also because I know about a little iPhone App called WordPress...

Celebrations!

This morning was a joyous occasion in my gaming life as, for the very first time, I completed a game to 100%! The game was LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on Nintendo Wii, and it took me about 2 weeks to complete (not in one session, of course!). This may not sound like much, but, as I say, it is the first time that I have ever done it! I was giving myself pats on the back for about an hour when I saw that wonderful 100% on the status screen!

As another, less exciting celebration, I have started to create a Video Podcast all about Microsoft PowerPoint. You can check it out here.

Palindromes

I was told of a great song by "Weird Al" Pankovic the other day called Bob. It's entirely made up of palindromes (phrases that read the same backwards) that are organized into rhyming verses, such as:

Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies -- run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

If you read each line backwards, it is still the same! But don't try to start at the bottom and work up - it won't work as a song anymore! "Bob" is a song on Weird Al's album "Poodle Hat", if you want to purchase it.

 Like one of his other songs says, however, "Don't Download This Song"!

Snow Fun!

It is actually! Today, we awoke to find a wet floor and a miserable-looking sky, but at around 9:30 we looked out of the window in amazement - there, in front of us, was a mass of white fluffy stuff that melts when you hold it! Little Blubs has made a snowman - click here for more - however, at the time of writing this, the snow has started to melt, causing him to disappear. Even the falling flakes themselves have given up, floating ever so slowly to the ground and disintegrating as soon as they reach it. But, these days don't come often and so we are glad that we were able to enjoy this one today.

Goodbye, Friend

It's always sad to say goodbye to a friend forever. But today, instead of saying goodbye forever, I just gave it to my brother, Harry, instead. The subject? Purr Pals for Nintendo DS, in which you have to care for kittens by feeding them, grooming them and the such. I sold the game to H for £11 - a reasonable price when it's £15 in the shops new - and now he's happy as Larry; all I can hear is Felix meowing for food, a bit like Murray, my real cat!

As a quick note, I didn't write yesterday as we went to Plumpton Racecourse for the Easter races, during which I did not pick the winning horse once.

A Worthwhile Easter

As today is Easter, expect this post to have been written with chocolatey fingers! This year, I received a Mars Planets egg (3 bags of Planets included), a Snickers egg (2 bars included), a Mini Eggs egg (a handful of Mini Eggs inside the egg), a Creme Egg Minis egg (a handful of Mini Creme Eggs inside the egg), a Dairy Milk chick (a handful of Chocolate Buttons inside) and a Lindt Gold Bunny. Fans of the Ramblings will remember that the Mini Eggs egg, chick and bunny were from the egg hunt at the weekend. So far, I have eaten the bunny and the chick's head - and very yummy they were too!
