FANTASTIC That was the smartest
That was the smartest thing I’ve heard of in quite some time. Completely ingenious to use the phone companies own tones against telemarketers. I’m going to give it a try tomorrow.
Oh, I almost forgot to
Oh, I almost forgot to mention… it’s new CD day 🙂
Since I was going into Nashua to pick up a keyboard, I figured I’d check and see if X-Press 2’s new CD “Musikizm” was at Newbury Comics. I know the import was released last month in England and that the US release was sometime soon. Well, I was right and so now I’m the proud owner of that little piece of musical perfection. Also, in an odd twist of luck, my parents had decided to buy some CD’s for their trip this weekend. Asking their friendly music store associate “what’s good” they were pointed in the direction of Bruce Hornsby’s “Big Swing Face” and the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. They of course completely hated Bruce Honsby and so now I own it. It’s actually an odd CD. Apparently he’s a jazz/piano/funk guy who’s trying something very different with the album. According to all the reviews on Amazon, this CD sounds nothing like anything he’s ever done. Very ambiant with a little trance and a smidge of eclectic dance-pop. Kind of like Dirty Vegas or Underworld. Very good though. I’ve never really heard of the artist but I’m definatly going to be giving it a listen later tonight. So, I got two CD’s for the price of one today. Huzah.
Well, game night was fun.
Well, game night was fun. We played some CS, WarCraft III, tried to play Jedi II (but we forgot CDs) and that’s about all I can remember. We got some pizza at some point and it was tasty.
Today, when putting my computer back upstairs I stepped on my keyboard on accident which facilitated my purchase of a new one this afternoon. It’s actually the same keyboard I’ve been borrowing to play games at Simpro. It’s the Logitech “Internet Navigator” which basically means it has a few useless buttons around the top that I’m sure I’ll never use. It’s also being a pain in the ass with my USB ports. It refuses to recognise itself and only appears as “Unknown USB device.” I’ve tried installing the drivers from Logitech about 30 times and no go. When I plug it into the PS2 port however, it works perfectly. Kind of disappointing considering I used the exact same keyboard, in a USB slot, last night and it worked fine. I’ll figure it out later.
I guess it’s dinner time. After that I think Die Hard is on TV, maybe I’ll watch that. Then I’ll just relax a bit and wait for Lauren to call tonight.
Later.
Once more into the breach,
Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger…
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
Shakespeare — Henry V
Tonight, there shall be game. Huzah.
