Alexis

Really interesting concept...and fun to watch.

Since you mention it, the final boss in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was also ridiculously easy...

Hehehehe...with my real name... http://www.skywaybuilders.com/*widgets/gallery/detail.jspy?G=TG5732&P=TG95917666&F=/Alexis.nxg It's an "Alexis Kitchen" mwahahahaha. nobody can really stalk me with my actual name, not even in quotes.

I searched for mine and yep it's pretty much all me. Except for some Chinese site where they are talking about me. I don't know any chinese people. And I apparently have a YTMND site...which was not me either: http://yodaisbetter.ytmnd.com/ But other than that it's not too exciting.

Recorded my part yesterday with Cerrax, so I guess that'll be up in the next few days, but I can't wait to hear the final mix, it's going to be freaking sweeeet.

It's hard to read, but it's very thorough The Complete Musician Steven Laitz You can get a workbook and CDs but most of the recordings aren't very good. The book, however is an excellent reference.

Ahhhhhhh thank you! That henne mines trick is friggin amazing! Three of my members just went up 10 levels in about an hour and a half...gonna do the other ones later. Yey for exploiting gambits!

haha, if i remember when i get back next semester i most certainly will.

yesssssir, rather amazing bass player.

I'm a music education major at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh PA. My main instrument is viola, secondary is trumpet. I'm halfway done with my undergrad, woooo!

Yiazmat is such a buttmunch...he keeps killing my leader so I can't go do other things cause you have to change your party leader or whatever. Grrr. I gave up after about an hour and all my party had done was take away like three of the stupid little dots. I guess I'll try to level them up some more, but it takes forever since they're all like level 70/71. Any suggestions as the best place to level them up?

Let me know when you want to record the viola part.

Ummm....heheheheh...i probably oughta start practicing that viola stuff... let me know when you wanna record.

Haha I thought the same thing. I came to the conclusion that since it's a Disney movie, ummm, it was magic.

Although I heard that Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom wouldn't return if they made another, so it would be some sort of spin off I guess...but it would be kinda cool to see what happened to Jack pre-curse of the black pearl.

No they filmed 2&3 together, they just waited for another year to release the third.

No- what was it?

Just saw it...it was pretty much awesome. I'm not going to post spoilers right now, too tired, but holy crap...Definitely made up for the second one, though I don't think it's as good as the first. Needless to say, I'm ridiculously excited that I get to see it again tomorrow! YAY!

Ok. This is driving me nuts. There seem to be a lot of people online that think that the future Jack stuff doesn't happen, that it isn't "set in stone" and "didn't you see the heroes finale, it could change". They think that this stuff in the future with Jack were just some more of Desmond's flashes, and that it's possible to change that future. I really don't think that's true at all. Desmonds flashes aren't that clear, they're usually just bits and pieces. Nothing as clear as what they showed us with Jack. Gah.

going tonight at 8 and again tomorrow. can't wait!

SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED. Ohhhh my gosh. Where to start.... First off, I think it was completely unnecessary for Charlie to die. When he saw that Mikhail had the grenade, why didn't he just leave the room, and get the hell out of there? Or at least attempt to escape through the nice little hole in the wall? I liked Charlie...even if he was a druggie. He was far too hot to die... So Mikhail apparently can't die. That's fun. Then there's the whole flash forward thing with Jack...I must say, Alcoholic/Pill Popper/Bearded Jack is fun to watch. Oh the angst. Although I'm confused as to if this is in the future, then why did Jack seem to think his dad was alive? He said to the doctor that if he went upstairs, his father would be drunker than he was. Eh. Whatever. There's the whole who was dead in the future thing too. I was trying to figure out who was in the coffin, and I'm guessing since Kate said she had to get back to someone it wasn't Sawyer. Since nobody showed up except for Jack, I'm guessing that it's either Locke or Ben. It could be Locke since it seems that he can only super-heal himself while on the island, so something might have happened when he left. Also, he doesn't seem to have any friends/family according to flashbacks, and why would any of the survivors come to his funeral when he did everything he could to stop them from getting off of the island. The only flaw I see with Locke being the one in the coffin is that if he were given the opportunity to leave the island, I'm pretty sure he would stay. So if it turns out that it is not Locke, I think the only other person who wouldn't have anyone come to his funeral is Ben. He knows nobody in the outside world except for the survivors. However, it's also hard to believe that Ben would leave the island that he's protecting. I think it has to be one of these two, and the question to who it is is just who would be more likely to leave the island? What the fuck, Bernard, you dumbass dentist? Why the hell would you tell the Others where everybody else went? Oh well, if he hadn't I guess that means they'd all be dead. But stilllll...you listen to Sayid, he's always right. God. I was completely overjoyed when Hurley came tearing out of the forest and ran down the others. Awesome, dude. And then Sayid's crazy neck breaking skills. And I loved when Sawyer shot Tom...that was amazing. The whole Locke waking up in the pit not being dead thing...I'm thinking that he's alive because "Jacob" wants him to be alive. Most likely the same reason Mikhail won't die. I also think that Jacob is the smoke monster, which took the appearance of Walt, who for some reason is a whole lot older, even though it's apparently only been weeks since he left...Also, very glad he didn't kill Jack. Which goes onto the whole satellite phone and the fact that Naomi is apparently not working for Penny. However, she had a picture of Desmond, which leads me to believe that she might be working for Penny's father? There's no hard proof on that, but I think it's a definite possibility. Also, since Jack spoke with the guys on the ship, and they seem to be locating them, will it be possible for them to actually get to the island? Also, once they do, how can they leave? Desmond was on a boat for quite awhile trying to get off the island, but he said it was like being trapped in a snowglobe. Even if they do manage to get off, where would the show go from there? The whole premise of the show is that they're all lost on this island. They also haven't explained a lot of stuff regarding the island, such as the black rock and the four toed statue. </rambling>

I'm free all this week and weekend, but I start work next week, but that could still work cause I work mornings and I'm done at 1:30...ummm so basically whenever the hell you want. Except this this Thursday. Pirates.

Cerrax- Sorry, could you send me both the midi and the mp3 without the viola playing so I could practice before we record? thanks.

Sixto...that lead guitar is AWESOME. Cerrax- if you wanted to do something with chords in the background i also have a violin and might have access to a cello tomorrow if I can get in contact with one of my teachers down at Duq. I might also be able to get a bass, although I'm not too good on upright bass. I should be free sometime after 4 tomorrow(friday). This thing is going to ROCK. Edit: I can't get a cello or a bass, they're all being repaired right now.

If you want to transcribe well, a really helpful thing is to practice hearing intervals; this way if you aren't sure what the next note is, you can figure it out by listening to the note before and hearing the distance between the two. If you have a keyboard, try playing a note and picking an interval above or below it, and singing it, then play and check. (if you know where I can upload a pdf file, I can put up an interval cheat sheet that was posted on blackboard by my professor) Something else that I found to be helpful was suggested by my Musicianship professor; rather than concentrating on individual notes, listen to the contour, and draw it. If you hear a an arpeggiated chord, just write out three ascending dots, and it you hear that it moves by thirds, you know what the other notes are. After you draw the contour of the melody, listen again, and try to get a few notes. Also, it's important to write down as much as you can. If you have something written down that you can take to a piano and play, it's easier to play through and fix the mistakes you made, rather than have a couple of the first notes down and nothing after it. The only way to get really good at transcribing is to practice it a lot. I've been transcribing stuff for two years now, and I still have issues.
