My Mate Mike

Recorded Vocals for The Defenestrators' demo today. This microphone was the first mic my dad bought for me back when I was 16 and wanting to learn 4-track recording. He got me this and a Tascam 4 track which currently resides in my loft. It still serves me well to this day. It's a Shure SM58. Note the awesome dent in it.

Model Spider

We always seem to get awesome spiders in our garden. Here's another one. Took me loads of attempts to get the spider to turn out sharp in this photo, and I can tell the spider was getting frustrated having to hold the same pose for so long.

Balloon Lamp

Was at Sarah's. We watched Hot Tub Time Machine (awesome movie) and Predator (awesome movie....but goes without saying really) and we threw balloons at each other. I threw this on in the lamp.

Oblivious

Been binge gaming on Oblivion. Probably the greatest game ever. Here is my High Elf whom I named Darcourt (after Simon Darcourt from the Christopher Brookmyre novels). He's a mage and his starsign is The Atronach which means my magic is strong as fuck but I don't recharge magika over time so I pretty much have to brew loads of restore magika potions.

Zoom Zoom Zoom

This is a Zoom H2 microphone. A pretty awesome piece of kit. It records directly onto an SD card and is batttery operated. It has front and rear cardoid mics, one with a 120 degree range, the other 90 degree range. The college owns a bunch of them. £150 to buy

This spider totally bolted on my bed when I was playing Red Dead, he took one look at me then the spider fled!

Mouse's Birthday Present to himself

Mouse went out and paid over £900 for this drum kit. It's his pride and joy and we're gonna be using it on the 5th October!

Open Drum Night?

Robbie brought down an electric drum kit which spurred mass jamming for all! Since Robbie, Jay and Mouse all play drums, and Martin was down firing out crazy blues licks and slide guitar and there was even an impromtu The Defenestrators gig where the shoe was on the other foot as Mouse put it, seeing as Doug and I were acoustic and HE was electric.

Dodgy!

This is a picture of a Jammy Devil (Aldi Jammy Dodger) with no Jam in it. Gutted.

Congraduation!

Here's Sarah and I at our graduation ceremony where I felt like a polished turd but it was quite cool. Got to sit in the abbey and listen to a bunch of old guys indirectly remind us how when they were young a degree could get you further in an attempt to inspire us and a reverend give a prayer (or "meditation" for those of us of different faith as he put it. Although when he prayed for our lectures to have more wisdom to teach us I realised it was a prayer I could agree with.) Then we went to Lourenzo's for free champagne and then maw and paw treated me to a Luigi's where we ran into Mouse and Vicky having a meal for Mouse's birthday.

Screenshot Fail Deuce

Here's a pic of me standing over someone who I've tied to a railway track on Red Dead Redemption.

Since the photo's rubbish here's a video of why I did this...

An extreme close up of a hoverfly I took in the glen

The Flop of the Beast

Playing Texas Hold Em on Red Dead Redemption these cards were dealt out in the flop! METAL!

Screenshot Fail!

Should've used an HDTV. Oh well. This is a shot from Red Dead Redemption.

9 September 2010

Back to College....but this time it's Uni...

First day back in college, this is the sound room where I have sound production (I know that seems like a stupid thing to say but there's also a lot of 3D modelling goes on in here too).

Redemption

Doug gave me a loan of Red Dead Redemption! Been wanting to play this game for months but have been unable to afford it.

Photo Time

Got home today, Uploaded some Holiday Photos to Facebook. Here's an Owl I saw in Inverness.

Happy 21st Sarah!

Ended up in Klub Kage in Dundee (12am...same night out different day) which is a venue in Dundee where a certain full on, flat out, fun lovin' bassist blew an amp at a gig many moons ago. Everyone was utterly wankered! Damon fell asleep, Jay got drink thrown in his face, a few guys sat around a table unable to muster the effort to do anything (myself included) and I scared the shit out of some guy in glasses who was clearly off his face on something!

Pre-Birthday Banter

Out in Dundee for Sarah's 21st. This is the posse in Wetherspoons. Some random banter as everyone was fairly hammered at this point. I saw a chick at a table with Dominos Pizza and we were hungry at this point and I said to Jay "oooh that chick has Dominos" to which he went up to her and asked if she was playing Dominos! I think she played a double blank after that!

I ended up getting a Pakora which was little pieces of red chicken sex and an unknown dip.

Inversneckie

Took a train to Inverness for the day. The only decent shops I could find were 2 music shops in the same street. The wee one had THESE on sale! My favourite is the snake skin one, 2nd from the right.

I'm the king of the swingers ooh the jungle VIP...

Went for a walk by the River Faskally and discovered this rope swing which I managed to swing on AND take my own photo with a camera timer. No easy task. The weather was gorgeous too.

Further up the river there's a dam, and coincidently during this holiday I'd been reading "A Big Boy Done it and Ran Away" by Christopher Brookemyre where a group of terrorists attempt to blow up a damn called Dubh Ardrain. I noticed similarities in place names as well...

A braw bricht moonlicht nicht

Visited Pitlochrie for the day. This photo was taken outside a pub called MacKay's where it's £3.50 for a pint and the same 3 bands play every week. I guess in a tourist town that's all you need.

Pitlochrie

Arrived at Faskally Caravan site in Pitlochrie for the first night of our holidays. Once the van was level and the awning up mum and dad fired into town for a chippy while I played emulated SNES/Playstation games on ma laptop.
