Random Tuesday Thoughts Wises Fwom its Gwave

Woo-hoo!

• I decided that, in my Rock Band 2 playing frenzy, I’m going to attempt the Endless Setlist 2 on Expert Vocals on December 8th, which is a little less than 2 weeks from now. I have that day off, so it’s as good a day as any. For those of you who don’t know, the Endless Setlist (2) is every song in the game, one after another, and doing it all in one sitting (No pausing or failing) gets you a special achievement called the Bladder of Steel Award, in addition to the various achievements you can get for simply completing the thing on various difficulties (Harmonix were at least kind enough to give you any achievements on lower difficulties at the same time. In other words, if I actually pull this off, I’ll not only get the Bladder of Steel and Endless Setlist on Expert awards, I’ll get the awards for doing it on Medium and Hard at the same time). This will involve about 6 hours or so of singing, which isn’t the easiest thing in the world, to say the least. I’ve been going through the setlist in chunks to identify potential trouble spots before I try the whole thing at once.
• Lately I’ve been in a “see friends I haven’t seen in years” phase. Today I saw my friend Kelly whom I hadn’t seen since 2004 or 2005, and about a week ago I got together with my friend Barbara, whom I hadn’t seen since shortly after I graduated high school in 2001. It’s definitely fun to actually get into real-world contact with some of these people again.
• Not long after I update WordPress thanks to an e-mail from my ISP saying I might be vulnerable, they release a new version. Bah.
