So I finally got CoD4 installed last weekend and played it through. I did enjoy it somewhat, but it seemed a bit short. I was done with it in just a few nights play-time. I was hoping it would last at least a week or so, but oh well. I think I’m going to hook myself up with the latest Fallout and Far Cry so I’ll have something new to fidget around with over the TG Holiday – although I’ll probably be pretty busy visiting family and stuff too 😀 … Continue reading
Ok, so the last time I did my “Music on a Theme” post it was about “Love Songs.” From the same cache of cassettes where I found my Love Songs tapes, there were also some that were compiled in what you might call the aftermath of love. I wouldn’t really call them “hate” songs, but definitely a bit “bitter,” to say the least. Unfortunately, none of these cassettes have dates on them, so I’ll just have to guess from the music that’s on them. I’m pretty sure I made them … Continue reading
NOTE: I’ve tried making a YouTube style video to illustrate this process a little better, but it ended up being over 30 minutes long, and my voice is not really pleasant to listen to, LOL. So what I think I’ll try to do is break it down into smaller chunks of video and maybe take some serious allergy pills so I’m not quite so “nasally” sounding – OY! I’ve made my own tarot cards before and it worked out really well – after working through some not-so-great prototypes. So I thought I’d … Continue reading
Actually I made this request once before many, many years ago as part of a “Queer Nation” demonstration, but since it didn’t have all of the particulars (like baptism date, confirmation date, etc. etc.) “The Church™” didn’t honor the request. And I move around a lot, so the LDS gremlins (aka “Visiting Teachers”) haven’t been able to keep up with me – I hadn’t seen one of those vultures in over 15 years. And then one fine day was ruined when a few years back they “somehow” found out where … Continue reading
I’ve always been one of those folks that arranges musical recordings based on a theme. I was going through a bunch of my old audio cassettes (anybody remember those?), and found a box of 15 “themed” cassettes. They’re all “emotionally” themed works, with titles like: Venom, Nostalgic, Love Songs, etc. I’ll probably make it a project to replicate all of these into WMP “play lists” eventually. I think I already did it for a pair of cassettes I recorded featuring Annie Lennox/The Eurythmics; One called Love, & the other called … Continue reading
