The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Awesome! Congratulations on your win.

Might be time to get that automatic rollback bed cover.

So I am sitting at the airport waiting to fly to DC. I dont see what all the complaints about the TSA is. I walked right through. I went through the body xray machine that blows all that air on you. On the other side there was a girl working, so I couldnt resist. "Did you like what you seen?" and winked talking about getting red faced. I just smile as I walk by.

He still gets crap from me about that one.

(Though it WAS kind of funny. I just don't think that quickly on my feet!)

Watching some TV and surfin' the net. Wife's out playing hockey. Kinda s***ty out, snowing pretty good. -12 out, but feels like -20 with windchill.

Supposed to be sunny out tomorrow, might have to wash the truck.

You crack me up.

I find it amusing that my 9 year old son sits there when we are driving around and knows the words to some classics from the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Xbox...not Wii yet.

My friends and I make it a point to play that game for about 10 hours straight about once a month or so. Granted, the game loses it's competitive meaning when the songs are unlocked and you can't tour, but to go through the songs is a blast. I will say that there are some good songs on Rock Band, but most are complete garbage. For some reason, one of my friends has a thing with R.E.M.'s Orange Crush

Personal favorite for the game is being the drummer. Playing songs like Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden on "expert" is a hoot....and very tiring. I play a real guitar in normal life, but for the life of me, I can't do anything but "fail" with the Rock Band guitar. Oh well, such is life.

One thing I noticed with Rock Band is that the audio and video timing make a big difference. Even a couple millisecond offset can have a dramatic effect on your rating. It took me about 45 minutes to finally get a setting that I was comfortable with and have been happy so far.

As much as I love to play drums, sadly I am not very good. Being ADD, I have a very hard time managing independence on each of my limbs. Everything tends to try to "synchronize" and that's not good for drumming. I end up sticking to guitar or bass because that's more comfortable for me and I can do pretty well.

As for odd songs to get stuck in your head... The Donnas - New Kid in School. I couldn't shake that one for quite a while.

It is really annoying that the Rock Band games aren't compatible online. All my friend have XBox Live and I have the only Wii. I will tell you though, it's fun to play with complete strangers and be amazed at how well you can do.

Anyway... just some random babble. Have a great day!
