Mondays are for recovery.

Once again, the weekend was a fury of activity.

Highlights:

Friday night I hung out with Ernie, Keller, Joanna, and Bekah. Bekah wanted Keller’s help in recording a few tracks on the piano. I helped by sitting quietly in the background matching her left hand on bass. What fun. I haven’t played music with a group in quite some time, and it was a blast. We also had a really short, but really interesting, conversation about books. Bekah, it seems, has read every book ever written by mankind. She was able to fully converse about any book that any of us had read. This made me realize two things.
1. I need to read more books for pleasure.
2. I wish I had a better memory and could remember books more easily.

Saturday, post class, I had my first real introduction to guitar hero. Holy Fun. My sister totally ruined it for me though as I excitedly told her of my guitar hero adventures…

Mike D (overly excited): I played GUITAR HERO last night for the first time
Alicia: oh yeah? my Friend Eran invented that game.
Mike D: wha.. huh?
Alicia: yeah. he helped develop Harmonix the company behind it. He’s a clarinet player.
Mike D:
Alicia: in fact, just recently he was interviewed about the upcoming ROCK BAND game and…. really funny story… the interviewers brought clothes with them for him to wear so that during the interview he’d look “cooler.” Apparently he’s wearing a sequence Ozzy Osborn shirt. ha ha! Which is extra hilarious because normally he wears khakis and button up shirts.

Her story was so much better than mine.

Sunday I worked on a paper for a bit and then hit up ROLLER DERBY in CT. I think that this bout goes down as the most exciting ever. I can’t wait to write a review. It’ll probably be up in the next few days in the features section. Keep an eye out for it.

    You just discovered Guitar Hero?

    Wow, I just assumed that you were all over that. My girlfriend’s brother is obsessed with this game, and UUIG is getting sucked in, also.

    I just wish that it had more indie rock.

    I was actually pretty impressed with their selections of music. I thought it had quite a bit of variety. Do they have ‘music expansion packs’?

    Great Job yesterday Pearl Jammer! You were unstoppable!

    I took a whole bunch of photos Sunday, unfortunately my camera isn’t very good and the lighting killed most of the shots. It’s probably prime time for me to get a new one… this one just hasn’t been the same since I dropped it at the beach and got sand in the lens…

    His name is Eran Egozy…. wow, I really must mumble on the phone! Also, it was a “sequined” shirt he had to wear. Or rhinestoned. Or bedazzled. Something like that! Anyway, Eran rules. Next time you’re up here during the day, I’ll see if we can stop by Harmonix at lunchtime!

    Fixed!!

    Oh man! That would be ultimate! Heck, I’d take a day off from work to stop by the Harmonix lab.

    It’s hard not to support Roller Derby. You guys put a lot into the games and it definitely shows. Great job!

    Guitar Hero is awesome. GH2 is even better since they improved the multiplayer a bit (although I think I like the song selection in the first game a bit more).
