Lolz lolz lolz, ajejejejeje
Been listening to one four-measure loop for the last 20 minutes in an effort to find the right melody and rhythm.
“Oh, how absolutely exciting.”
I except to be hacking at this one loop until midnight.
Definitely feeling progress after the past three weeks. Still a grindfest, but like anything else, you just gotta keep chipping at it.
Hopefully I’ll have it ready by the end of...

Top 10 EDM Tracks, 2011
I definitely made a huge leap in expanding my EDM library this year, particularly towards the end. 2010 was more or less the discovery period, while 2011 was the expanding and refining period. I eased away from hard dubstep/brostep and expanded my library in both progressive and electro house. Also, thanks to Above & Beyond, I’m easing into trance as well. Here are my favorite 10 tracks...

NBA 2011-2012, Day 3
Quick Recap:
Lakers finally come off with a decisive win against the Jazz. Kobe scored 26; Pau scored 22. Post-game, Kobe said his wrist still hurts, but his words were “suck it up, don’t be a baby.” What a champ. 96-71 Lakers-Jazz.
Kevin Love’s double-double streak is now at 2; he scored 31 points, caught 20 rebounds, and went to the line an astounding 24 times. That...

NBA 2011-2012, Day 2
A Summary of The Big Things That Went Down Today:
Yesterday, the Heat led the Mavs by 30+ points. Today, the Nuggets led the Mavs by 30+ points. Ty Lawson scored 27 points and was 10 for 15. Why do the defending champions look so defenseless? Final score: 115-93 Nuggets-Mavs.
A fourth-quarter run couldn’t save the Lakers this time. This time, they lost to Sacramento, who led by as much as...

Looking back at old posts to count how many movies I have watched in 2011 so far.
20.
This wasn’t one of them. It’s funny though (the situation, not the movie). I asked them to preview it. They ended up doing so. I didn’t get to see it because the line was too long. Fail…
Oh well, probably will see it soon.

Video Games I Completed, 2011
It’s funny how I feel like blogging when I should be sleeping. Well, here we go anyway. A list of games I completed in 2011, meaning I completed the entire campaign mode.
1. Portal 2
Play time: ~6 hours single-player, ~4 hours cooperative mode
They’re separated because they’re two different adventures. Single-player introduced quite a few new tricks, and unlike the first...

Well, It Was Bound to Happen...
…But I was a day late on my AMEX CC payment. Bam, $25 late fee.
Lesson learned…the hard way.
UPDATE: Got the fee waived after a nice talk with a rep. But this will stick. For sure. Mark my words.

Week One of Winter Break: A Review
Welp, one week already passed. What have I done? Not much, really. Finished BE 199 report on Monday. Started working out again and shooting hoops at ClubSport. I got my fill of 3D from our home’s new TV, rewatched The Lion King, watched epic parts of Avatar and Tron: Legacy. Watched The Silence of the Lambs…finally. Twiddled a bit with music production, but just when I got minorly...

Sometimes
It’s so deceptively easy to say something in a way that isn’t what you meant at all.
You just have to catch those moments before it’s too late to let them know.
Effing 199 ruins my life.
Improv Variations on Take Over Control

I can’t find words to describe my state of mind right now.
Hopefully things clear out in the next few days.
