silva rerum

Nor sound of waters shaken

Yesterday was really quite fun! Went early to help pre­pare UltraStar for the Canadian idol aspir­ants and, after a few tech­nical hitches, the whole sys­tem worked out quite sat­is­fact­or­ily! I think UltraStar really will be a SingStar-​killer – I get to pick which songs I want and I get >30 songs without the lim­it­a­tion of discs! Sweet. Only down­side? I have to man my laptop which I guess is alright. I love my mul­ti­func­tional tx2500.

In case any­one from last night is read­ing this, I’m down­load­ing more songs from more genres because I think I’ve got an idea of what songs you’d like. R, for example, will have New York, New York to croon to, if he so wishes. And L gets Love Story while C gets some good ol’ Pussycat Dolls. Of course, I had S’s hit single, Chasing Cars. Any requests?

The rest of the party was pretty sweet, I learned how to bar­be­cue! Now I don’t have to worry about food pois­on­ing as much, I even made my own bur­ger. The only down­side was that I smelled like smoky meat after­wards so I promptly showered when I got home…I’m sure the smell of meat and smoke turns some people on, but I’m not one of them!

Back to genet­ics and Minischool, though, and the fun and games are over at least for the next three weeks. Here’s hop­ing everything goes well.
