I haven’t blogged for a while, because my brothers have gotten me hooked on Team Fortress 2 which I bought from Steam. about a week ago, so most of my free time has been devoted to playing and learning how to strategize. So far so good. The game is really addictive, since the playable classes have so much personality. Playing each class is a unique experience, since they have their own unique skills. I seem to favor the Pyro, since it’s easy to get used to.
I’m currently working on a new theme for the site. I’m still wondering whether to base it on the 960 grid system or the Blueprint CSS framework, which I learned how to use over the weekend.
For now, I’m going to scurry on off to bed.
I seem to be turning into a Gleek.
A friend has finally convinced me to actually check out Glee. Friends have been encouraging me since last year, but I haven’t had the motivation to actually download the episodes. Good thing the aforementioned friend was nice enough to burn the episodes on DVD for me.
It’s pretty good. I actually like it. It’s interesting, the characters are well-written, and the music is pretty good. My dad calls it “just like high school musical, only the actors actually have musical talent.”
Though I’m still not quite addicted to it (unlike some of my friends who are obsessed with the show), I’m definitely looking forward to see what’s going to happen in future episodes. I’m hoping it doesn’t begin to suck after the first season, which I’ve noticed tends to happen to most TV shows, after a successful pilot season.
Also, I was able to see the movie Dear John a couple of days ago. It was disappointing. That’s all I’m willing to say. :D But if you haven’t read the book, or if you don’t like how the book ended, give it a chance.
If you asked me what my all-time favorite band is, I’d say The Hush Sound. Unfortunately, the band has gone on hiatus, since they want to work on individual projects for now. But that doesn’t mean they’re not making music.
Gold Motel is Greta’s (one of the band’s members) solo project. She recently released an EP entitled The Gold Motel EP. On December 18th, I immediately went and got a digital download when I found out that the EP had been released.
It sounds a lot like Goodbye Blues, The Hush Sound’s third album. And that means I pretty much loved the whole EP. While I love The Hush Sound, and I wish they’d all get back together, I’m still looking forward to the prospect of a full-length album by Gold Motel.
The track listing:
- Perfect In My Mind
- Make Me Stay
- The Cruel One
- Who Will I Be Tonight
- Don’t Send The Searchlights
Buy the EP.
