Pinch Harmonics

I starting learning to play these yesterday on my guitar. I’m thinking about getting some guitar lessons. I learnt to play classical guitar for two years when I was in middle school then I stopped and picked it up again about four years ago when I bought an acoustic – then an electric. I have another electric guitar now, i’ve been teaching myself and i’m not bad, but i’d really like to be awesome at it, so yeah, some guitar lessons would be good I think.

So back onto the main thing, Pinch harmonics. I learnt natural harmonics (easy) and now i’ve moved onto pinch harmonics and I must say, it’s the hardest technique i’ve come up against.

I’m looking to get another guitar soon, an Ibanez. This one will have a whammy bar which is good, I can try some dive bomb harmonics.

I’ve been looking for flights to Austria recently, looking forward to that trip!

Cloverfield

I’m really looking forward to this movie. It’s very intriguing, it’s a monster movie, but there’s been no official word on what the monster is. Some believe it’s a new Godzilla movie, some believe it’s aliens. I thought to begin with it was an alien, but then after seeing a video about an oilrig disaster, it made me think more a sea creature, my mate said Kraken.

Also, because of the JJ Abrams link, some people think it’s a Lost spin off. I think that’s a bit out there, some thought Mission Impossible 3 was a Lost spin off too.

I’m gonna be checking this film out when it’s in the cinemas, i’d recommend you do too.

Working

I finally got myself a job – after about three months of doing nothing – i’ll be working as a trainee draftsman, drawing plans to buildings and stuff like that. It’s only temporary at the minute, they want to find out whether i’m right for the job. It should be good, if only just a couple of weeks, be a bit of money. Oh, that reminds me, i’m off to Austria in March. It’s my mates birthday and he asked me out there for snowboarding and stuff like that. It should be awesome!

A lot happened yesterday in particular, news wise. I’ll elaborate in due course.

Ooh, i’ll be getting a new guitar soon, after Austria, hopefully I can keep this job and then i’ll be quite stable financially for once!

Scrubs

I’ve been watching Scrubs obsessively for the last month, it’s on Paramount Comedy everyday, although i’m quite frustrated they’ve moved it to 9am.

It’s an awesomely good show, it scores a 9.4 on imdb and it’s just so funny. I just love it! Another great thing is that i’ve got tonnes of episodes to watch as i’ve only watched like one season tops.

So yeah, Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and the rest of the gang, keep it up!

Jericho Leaked

My sources tell me that three episodes of Season 2 of Jericho have been leaked onto the net.

It’s probably the biggest leak since four episodes of 24 were found on the net last year.

This might be damaging for the viewing figures that it will get on the television, I would just ask people to make sure they tune in when it’s on the tv, 12th February.

Most people have heard about the Save Jericho campaign that helped bring Jericho back to our screens, it would be a shame if it were to go again due to people not watching it.

Lost Season 3

Woah, it’s been a while, hasn’t it. I thought it would be fitting to carry on from my last post, over a year ago mind, with another on the same subject… Lost.

I got Season 3 for Christmas, i’ve seen it many times before, but i’ve started watching it again. And really, you realise how much you missed it! I would have said two months ago Heroes was my favourite television show, but no, the Lost flame has been reignited and I can’t wait until Season 4 comes on the screens, which is January 31st, by the way!

Season 3 improved incredibly on Season 2, now I see that Season 2 was great for many reasons, but Season 3 was also awesome.

I was thinking this morning that if I could ask the writers one question, it would be, ‘Will we ever find out what that damn black smoke is?!’ I don’t even care what it is, i’d just like the hope that we will find out what it is. I will be very annoyed if they just get off the island without finding out!

Anyway, I better be off, I got important business to attend to… I need a cup of tea.
