YArrrr...
I recieved my copy of Band Brothers from Japan. I love it. I've started composing the song from the first Act of Sonic the hedgehog. I'm slowly remembering those piano lessons from my distant past.
I already ordered Electroplanton, which is the most revolutionary piece of software I've ever heard of. Even if you hate video games, if you like modern art or anything related to music check out these links. Electroplankton is a game made by media artist Toshio Iwai http://addendum.mit.edu/e-journals/Leonardo/gallery/gallery343/iwai2.html based on the concept of Aleatoric Music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleatoric_music
Aside from making this game, he has also created a lens that turns light into music: http://www.imomus.com/dailyphoto190801.html
I've noticed recently that a lot of "everyday" lesbians have made their way into our entertainment. In the movie Eulogy, lesbianism is a plot-point, but they aren't butch. They're aunts, working women, they're funny and pretty, but not plastic, like porn-lesbians. Then on TV shows, Desperate Housewives are hinting at some lesbian affairs, Gray's Anatomy toys with them. Yet gay men can never be anything but a walking tornado of fashion cliches and anonymous sex, with all the sassy jokes and girl talk you've come to expect.
Sure, the gay men on TV are "cute", some would even call them "lovable", but they aren't real. They just MUST have a lisp, or talk endlessly about their boyfriends or their last bit of sex. I can't understand this. It seems like we've come so far. People don't whisper about homsexuality anymore, but apparently we still aren't ready for it to be on national TV unless either A) Straight men can jack off to it or B) Stay at home moms can learn some helpful hints from it.
Obnoxious. I would kill to see a gay guy on a sitcom that leaves beer bottles piled around the couch, burps in mixed company and owns a copy of Madden.
Two more weeks till school's out. This summer is gonna be a religious experience for me, Video Games, Books, Movies, Staying in my pajamas for two days in a row. All the old stuff, but now I haven't seen my friends every day of the year, and seeing them might actually be something out of the ordinary. Not to mention we'll all be 19, which makes canada seem so much closer.
oh yeah!
