I Worked On An Actual Album

Nothing major, I just helped out Kex with some problems he had with the label artwork, moving text and patching up holes and such. But still. IT'S GOING TO BE RELEASED AND I HELPED FOR PART OF IT.   Such a cool feeling.

Best of 2013

I was gonna do this yesterday but I forgot, and now everyone's beaten me to it   Oh well. Here's what I think were the best of... stuff... for this last year:     MUSIC: First off, because it's my prime passion, this year was fairly disappointing for me, as so many of my favourite artists released less than stellar albums. Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Volbeat, James LaBrie, Queensryche and others (while some were pretty good and others were awful) all were varying ranges of a letdown. However there

Some music for you

Hey there BZP! It's me, Xinlo, the guy who stopped being active on here for quite a few months and finally decided to show up again!         But yeah only reason for that was I just finished up my third and final year in music college, so this is the first opportunity I've really had to do much else besides study and write music. Anyway, the purpose of this entry is to inform anyone who might be interested that I've compiled an EP that includes all the full* songs I wrote and recorded during my

Days #16 & #17: Advent Calendars

Okay back up to date again, here's days 16 and 17 of both calendars:     For city, we get a little girl who also comes with snowballs like the little boy. Unfortunately, both the boy and girl have the same face. Really, Lego? you couldn't have even added eyelashes or threw in a different face? On the 17th, it's a catapult for larger snowballs much like the one Chols got last year. Woo, I suppose.   -----------------------------     We get 2 mini vehicles from Star Wars this time, with the Nab

My Crew

So yeah, I downloaded this game finally and it's been really great so far. Graphics are a bit less awesome than I expected but oh well. Anyway I just took screenshots and GIMP'd around with them and made some images, so here we are:   Here's my bridge crew so far, consisting of (left to right), Ensign Eyra Sar (Trill), Captain Thomas Nathan "Manatee" Xin (Human), Ensign R'Shee (Andorian), and Ensign Jhril (Andorian):     and here's my ship, the U.S.S. Nelson, NCC-93403, Miranda class variant:

Christmas Break!

So school's done 'till January. B) I plan to get some MOCing, drawing, and music done these two weeks, so be on the lookout. Maybe I'll do some writing, too. We'll see.   On a different note, I've now put 7 hours into my blender Tahu, and I think it's coming along decently. Emailed the file to myself so I can work on it at home over the break if I feel the urge.   So yeah, peace, goodwill towards men (and ladies), and happy holidays and stuff!

I Gots Moola

So I finally sold my first guitar. Sold the whole deal - My old amp, the cord, the bag, everything, for $130. Maybe a bit cheap, but it really wasn't worth much.   Anyway, I'm saving half the money, and spending the other half. So far I've bought:   >Risk -- Megadeth >This Present Wasteland -- Metal Church >The Human Factor -- Metal Church >Turaga Nuju >Turaga Whenua   Debating on whether or not I should buy Megadeth's "United Abominations" and Metal Church's "The Dark" asw
