Park Your Amusements Here

Rory Williams is the reason the Daleks learned to climb stairs.

Death once had a near-Rory experience.

Pfft! The Weeping Angels never dare to blink when Rory Williams is around.

Sorry to break the "Rory game", but I'd like to ask: does anybody here randomly get ideas for a new song / music, an original song that nobody's thought of?

I've been looking at some art and wallpapers, and it's amusing how certain artworks invokes specific emotions within me, and those emotions give birth to some beautiful music. For instance, sci-fi art tends to invoke techno / new age music in my head, all pre-composed and original, but unfortunately I've no way to actually record them.

It's easy to write ideas in language, but it's nearly impossible to jot down emotions, feelings and music. I could learn sheet music, but even then it'll be nearly impossible to record complex techno music I have in mind, something I'd bound to forget over time. Plus, I'm not a musician and have no skill to be, and still I want to try record them. Any ideas?

get a keyboard and hook it up to your pc, get some synth samples, listen to techno tunes and try to play the melodies as exact as you can to improve your ear, eventually you'll hear stuff in your head and be able to decently reproduce them.

Sometimes I snoop around on the "Who's Online" page. It often leads to parts of the Compendium I wouldn't otherwise visit, since my self-guided activity is generally limited to Zenan Plains and parts of Kajar.

Big Brother J is watching you...

XDDD You seriously gotta help me get started here. I never touched a musical keyboard before.

Hey, Josh, I recognize the people in that picture! Starting from left to right, that's LL Cool J, Jon Stewart, Janis Joplin, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, and The Jeep.

[Lord J Esq]

Oh, hellz yeah!

It's the kind of cold tonight, here in the mountains of West Texas, dank and foggy, where we revved up the heater for the first run of the season. That always means a bout of stale air, and this one is a hum-dinger: burning and raccoon pee.

And...it's the kind of heater that just seems to be blowing the cold air around. =)

I'm amused that seemingly the entire population of the Compendium is either from Texas or the Pacific Northwest, or has lived in either of those places.

[Lord J Esq]

Or in my case, lives in both! I'm simply on sojourn in Texas. Seattle is home!

As for where I actually come from, that'd be Southern California. Hrm, now do we know anyone who has recently moved there?

the Pacific Northwest

I'm amused by the fact that you folks south of the border think you have a north anything.

[Lord J Esq]

As far as I'm concerned, the only things north of Vancouver are logs and yaks and Santa and a weird old coot in Alaska who can see Russia from her house.

You forgot the mountains, the caribou, and, eventually, the Arctic Ocean. Oh, and snow. We have lots and lots and lots of snow.

Sounds like my kinda place.

I keep bugging D to move to Alaska with me but alas, he hates cold weather.  Heathen.  =(
