Well, Scott came out with a new AudioBlog a couple of days ago, and talked about the Japanese Ring. For those of you who haven’t seen the American version (The Ring), it’s about this video, and if you see it, you die in a week. I don’t know the American names since I haven’t seen the American version, but the Japanese version (not The Ring Virus, just Ring) is supposedly a lot better. Well, it scared the crap out of me, and I’m currently trying to get my hands on the sequel, the prequel, and Ring Virus, another version of the original film, except the girl is a young woman, apparently. If you haven’t seen the American or Japanese Ring/The Ring/Ringu, see it now and read this later. Next I’m just gonna talk about my day today so far anyway. Nothing interesting, you can always read it later. Now go to blockbuster or the library or something and get one of the movies.
Soooo! How are you doing? I’m fine, thank you very much! Well, I had my trombone thing today. You know, the NYSSMA Festival? Basically, you prepare a piece beforehand, and then you play it along with 3 songs and a sightreading piece, and he grades you. It’s rather fun. Well, I screwed up. I screwed up big time. I made the world’s dumbest mistakes playing the piece. I had to play it with the repeat at the end, so I fixed them the second time around, but it was still really dumb. I got nervous and worried about miscounting the rests, and my counting got all screwed up and I got lost in like, the easiest part of the song. I messed up parts that I didn’t even mess up sightreading it, and I did good on the ‘hard’ parts. It was insane.
Signups on XMGFree are open again! Yep, now you can sign up for free(!) hosting and get accepted within a few hours. We’re faster than some automated places. However, when Lee recompiled some stuff when the server was screwed up, something messed up the acception/rejection script, so we won’t be accepting or rejecting anyone until this is fixed. However, once it’s fixed, we’ll be good. I promise :-). [edit: it's fixed]
*looks around* So, did you see the movie yet? It’s insane, isn’t it. I’m trying to get my hands on an english translation of the novel, and once I find one, I might just have to write a review on it. Thank you and goodbye.
