Man, I'm Getting Old...

One of my relatives... I dunno' what he is, maybe a second cousin once removed or something? Anyway, he's like 7, and he had brought a bag of lego to my grandparents' house. I had met this kid once before maybe when he was two-ish, so I started talking with him and he showed me some sets he had and stuff. I was messing around with a star wars set (that green and yellow one from the clone wars) and a piece fell off. I picked it up, and looked briefly around the ship to find where it fell from, bu

Feedback?

I was inspired by my sister (who downloaded some cool fonts for me) to make some mock-up album covers for my band, which might be used on our first demo recording whenever that happens. I made up three using some pictures I found online, and I'd love some critique from you all.   in order of my least favourite to favourite:   All Things Must Die   I have this one for if we lean more to the evil-er side of metal, with the doom and gloom and yeah. I dunno', I'm not a huge fan of it.   Those That P

You Ever Have One Of Those Days...

Where everything just goes perfectly, and there's absolutely nothing to complain about?   'Cause I'm having one right now.   I got to sleep in, and then I got up at 9:30 to get a ride with my friend to the theatre to practice for the talent show tonight. Our rehearsal went amazing, and on the drive around we jammed to some Megadeth cassettes my friend found in his truck. We went to Subway afterwards, which I've not been to in ages, and then we just kinda' hung out in town with another friend, vi

Kids In The Street

So, I dunno' if any of you kept up with The All-American Rejects after their BIONICLE gig, or if you ever even liked them in the first place. But they just released their fourth album, and I picked it up the other day.   After the release of their third album, which was an unbelievable improvement from Move Along (seriously you can't imagine how much better/different it was), I figured this one wouldn't beat it. I was right, but after listening through Kids In The Street many times, I can safely

Fragile

So I just bought Yes' "Fragile" on vinyl, and it's awesome. However, the copy I bought has a ton of background noise due to surface scratches. Never skips, but is pretty crackly. The store had 3 copies (all used) and all had some issues. One looked like it had some deeper scratches.   So, should I keep this one and deal with the crackle, or try and return it and grab one of the other copies, which may be better or worse?

Now To Get A Turntable

Well I bought my first vinyl today, Pop-Rock supergroup Asia's self-titled début album. Feels cool lol. I always loved records when I was younger. My dad used to have tons.   I also bought a Twilight Sparkle brushie today because they were on sale yet again. Maybe I'll get Raindow or Pinkie next time if the sale continues.   In addition, my new 64GB 4th gen iPod touch arrived two days ago, and I'm still trying to put music on it. Words cannot describe how much I despise iTunes. It is, in my not-

Various Moving Picture Updates

Well, first off, I saw the Hunger Games on Saturday. I have to say, it was brilliantly done. Jennifer Lawrence is a perfect Katniss, and same with Hutcherson/Peeta. I also think they made Haymitch a bit more lovable, which I'm not sure yet how I feel about. But in all, it was really book-true, and captured the emotions really well (especially Rue's death). Finally a movie that really does the story justice.   Next, I watched the new MLP and Transformers Prime episodes. In the case of Ponies, I h

Name Suggestions?

Anyone got any? I'd like something along the line of my previous bad name puns (Xynlophone, Tornado Of Xinlos, My Little Xinlo, current name).   So yeah, any ideas?

Washington Excursion

So instead of school, today I went down to Washington state with my Dad, Korean, and Chilean international students. It was really fun, filled with many jokes. We spent a ton of time in Best Buy, then went to a mall, to Target, to a headphone store, and yeah. The two international students bought really nice Fanny Wang brand headphones, which I have to say are the best things I've ever tried.   In Target they had SO MUCH MLP STUFF. It was awesome, and they also had Black Phantom and Rocka XL...

Gah

I've been trying to vector this stupidly simple image for 5 hours and have gotten nowhere with any of the tutorials I've tried. How can it possibly be this hard? All I want to do is make an outline of a simple image and fill it black, so that it will be smooth and resizable.   But noooooooo

Vectoring Help?

Well, since nobody wants to vector my band symbol, I have a different request: could some one please tell me what program to use and how to go about doing it?   Thanks,

This Entry Has Two Parts: "i Need Your Help!"/"concert Info"

So, hey. I haven't blogged for a little while (because busy/nothing to blog about/whatever). Anyway, I made this thing today, a logo for my band 667.   so here is my logo.   Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to vector it and add some... depth (?) to it? I'm not really sure what I want it to look like, but not just flat black. maybe make it rounded or toned or something? Any help would be appreciated.   Now to the second part:   THE MEGADETH CONCERT ROCKED MAN   Lacuna Coil opene

Yes

I've been listening to Yes a lot lately, at the suggestion of Frank Zappa and Tenebrae Invictus. They are pretty fantastic... I don't know if I like them as much as Rush, but in my opinion they are better than what I've head from Genesis (they're great too though). So far, I've listened to:   Close To The Edge Fragile The Yes Album Drama 90125 Going For The One Fly From Here   Of these seven albums, Fly From Here (2011) is my favourite, with 90125 and Drama pulling up behind. Really though, all
