…it’s been a whole week since I’d realised it had snuck up on me! Work is going extremely busy at the moment with budgets and metadata and Final Cut Pro and about 17 zillion other time sucky things. I like to be busy as it stops me staring at the walls too much but sometimes I get so busy I can’t write blog posts first thing in the morning whilst I drink my coffee.
There are potentially some good things that may be happening at work including, but not limited to, me starting some discussions about doing a masters of some kind.
If you hadn’t noticed pictured is the cylon we bought a while ago, it’s a bad picture but a cool thing which cancels out.
In my ears I have been putting Jaco Pastorius who my wife doesn’t like. Here is a youtube (you can do a looking and a hearing with a youtube – its a kind of duotube) -
I very much like the noise of his bass. I am considering having the frets removed from my old bass to make fretless noises.
In other news many supressing fire has been laid down avec le Gabe of Beard and several waves of Horde on Gears of War 2 have been supressed, mortared and hammer of dawned all the way to the bank. I say news I mean ‘what I did most of Saturday’.
I also tried a demo of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on the Xbox 360. It is an awesome arcade style game that involves using one control stick to control movement and one to control direction of shooting. Shapes are what you shoot at and they are plentiful and mill about recklessly. At one point my brain kind of fused and my aiming and shooting locked into perfect symmetry which I was unable unlock from. Despite being told helpfully to ‘try shooting backwards’, by hippetyhop-star-of-the-future Gai.B.Real, my head cake dissolved into porridge. I had a right pain in the gulliver.
You can see a thing that looks just like playing except someone else is controlling you below:
