the things i do on my walk home.

i had a mango related thought, since i bought some in the woodley town centre market today.

if you had 5 small mangoes and 2 large mangoes, where the 2 large ones had the equivalent volume of 5 small mangoes, which batch (5 small or 2 large) would have the best mango to stone ratio? i.e. if i got 5 small mangoes, would that have more mango in it than 2 large mangoes of equal volume to the 5?

maybe the stones in large mangoes get larger in proportion to the whole size of the mango. then again, you get more mango skin on 5 small mangoes, so that would give more inedible mango.

drums

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

I had a listen to one of those tracks that always makes me have warm fuzzy drumming feelings want to hit stuff, with style! It has just an unbelievable amount of ingenuity and it gets even more cool to the end.


I remember hearing this in my first year and thinking wow, just wow. Also it made me think I should just quit drumming, because I'll never, ever, be able to play something like this. Oh, but wouldn't be worth a whole day of drumming to try, eh?
