What is so hard is also what I do best and love.

Today’s OCRemix: "Bug Bash Breakbeat" Mario Paint Remix by Dj Seith. When you have a game where you can randomly amuse yourself with what would normally be a very sanity-trying task, i.e. swatting houseflies, you know you have a winner. Sure, the housefly thing may have been done before, and it amuses the hardcore fan for the odd fifteen minutes, but you have to admit that someone out there who tried it is either bored or brilliant, or both. When something that worthy comes along, remixes follow suit. This work features Seith's trademark "introduction of clips from the actual game" followed by his "excessive and bizzarely-layered white-noise-ish drumline". Personally, I thought the music from the final fly-swatting stage was worthy of something like this, but naturally, coming from Seith, I had not really expected to turn out this way. Just be prepared for anything. Phew, it's been over two weeks since my last update. Bagpipe lessons came and went, and we finished our concert with astounding applause from freinds/family, and then went to the local pub for a final bash, where we serenaded the patrons with our noise. It was great. Anyway, I still need to actually buy my own set of pipes, which is expected to cost over 1000$ (Canadian) but, with practice, I could actually make money attending weddings, funerals, and other religious events where I could make some money with "mah pipes". It's a real job, no lie, as people in my town can (almost) make a living wage off the pipes. (To answer Baron's question, I did not wear a kilt, but I know that I will have to buy one in the future if I want to get serious about this, which I do.) Anyway, I singed up for Solo's Anime Stereotype High School, but I may not live to see the first few posts... ...Since this Thursday, I leave for the beautiful Ilha de Sao Miguel, Portugal. Before you ask, yes, the internet does exist on Sao Miguel, even in the middle of the ocean, and I could probably head on the net at the local library a few times a week to work on RP's and maybe update myO. I still have some writing work to do, and I think there is still much to do in my reamining RPG's including Shin's Apartment Bldg. C, Arcadia's Laeth E'Thae, and terra's stress relief spar. Oh, and I'm even working on two other projects, an RPG I plan on putting up on the OB sometime (maybe while in Portugal) and a screenplay-style piece of writing which I may also put on the OB. In the meantime, I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, a tennis match on Tuesday, and a five-hour flight on Thursday. ...Cool. -WDS-
