Beetlejuice (Main Theme / End Theme) by Danny Elfman

My toilet needs a new flush valve and is making a lot of noise both continuously dripping (now a pretty steady stream, sounding like a running sink) and water rushing to refill it. I considered turning off the water, but since the tank is draining, I figured it would be best for it to try and maintain levels rather than turning the water off and on all the time.

This valve is certainly not a big deal to replace - I just need to find the time to get to a hardware store. Hopefully I can do this tomorrow so my sleep isn't disrupted much more... 'cause right now, it's driving me in-freaking-sane!

Jump in the Line by Harry Belafonte

UPDATE: I am teh plumbing mastar!

$7, Home Depot purchased, guaranteed 5-year valve installed and my sanity has been returned to me.

Stop the Rock by Apollo 440

As you may recall, I am assisting my friend Jim who is building a fun video game called "Jugglin'". I'm in charge of music and moral support.

Jim and his wife Em traveled this past weekend to Michigan State University to attend the Future Play Conference, which focuses on game design innovation and emerging industry trends.

Juggin' was exhibited on Friday and it was very well received. It even won awards:

People Choice Award
Winner - Jugglin by Jim McGinley and Brendan Lynch, McGinleysoft

Future Games Category
Runner Up - Jugglin by Jim McGinley and Brendan Lynch, McGinleysoft

I am very proud to be involved in developing this "innovative" title. Stay tuned for more details on (and how to obtain a copy of) Jugglin'.
