Lovely posts, girls (:

Agh, I've been so busy packing and rounding up last minute things for the move in tomorrow, so apologies for my inactivity. But if Biggie doesn't post by tomorrow, I'll ask Cal to just go ahead with his own post and I'll just switch the shoulder-clap to James!

Funnily enough, a Swedish Murder Mystery has turned up on the BBCiPlayer. Not sure if non-UK people will be able to watch it though.

I'm going to go ahead and start writing my post now, hopefully it will be up tonight, unless my attention gets unfortunately diverted to writing the song I've been working on for a few days.

The English title is Crimes of Passion so if you're so inclined, you could theoretically have a shufty for it on one of those super-legal torrent-sites. To be honest, it was a bit dry with surprisingly little eyecandy for a murder mystery. The main reason I watched it was because I happen to be taking Swedish classes this year in addition to Icelandic and buggering my friend to teach me Polish (and studying Dutch and German as my degree and practising the French I already speak). I'm either going to become some super-amazing polyglot or speak one huge mishmash of everything that nobody can understand.

What stuff do you do?

My only real talent is singing, but after I picked up playing guitar a few years back I've been able to learn how to play well enough to accompany myself in some solo stuff, I mostly have this sort of folky, singer/songwriter type deal. The lyrics are pretty good, and even though the guitar parts are all pretty basic, people seem to enjoy it. I've got much more talented friends, one who plays viola and another who plays trumpet, that I sometimes just give the chords to, and they can add a lot more dimension to my otherwise simple songs... I mostly just write for myself though, so I can express-

I'd love to see these song lyrics then, Cops. *-* You wouldn't mind showing us, would you?
I've always wanted to watch a lyricist at work. And I've always wanted to be able to study the English language well enough to express myself and MY EMOTIONS through words, in song. >> Eep.
That's not creepy, right? Yup. Nope. Onward, to read your post then. Cops!

I was hoping to get some collab going at some point tomorrow night, maybe with you ginger, since we haven't done one yet.

I think James may end up as our player kill by default...

As for lyrics, I think this is appropriate in the context of Henry. I feel like the lyrics are naked and incomplete without the music, but whatever.

While I do advocate kicking this along a bit with or without Biggie's post, he has only just started uni so it's understandable that he's being a busy bee.

Agreement!
And hell, those lyrics sound interesting as all hell, but the backing track, ah! We need it.
Sing for us, Cops!
...or not.
Regardless, Biggie's just busy. ;; Poor dear. How is everyone else doing? I actually just borrowed The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy from a library, and am in the process of voraciously tearing through it right about now.

I love Hitchiker's guide, I have yet to read through the rest of the books even though they're sitting right on my bookshelf at home.

As for me, I'm doing good. I'm at work at the moment but not for much longer. Just watching the clock tick by at this point.

Other than that, I just started replaying a pair of games that are childhood(ish) favorites of mine: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel.

Best. Book. Ever.

Edit: We'll see about the song. I don't have any recording equipment but maybe before this is all over we will see.

D'you know, I couldn't stand it. Or the television version. Or the radio version. Or the film.

And I typically like that sort of semi-surreal, witty humour.

I'm willing to bet your phone/laptop have a microphone that can record. Nobody's saying it's the highest quality, but we don't want it for that. ;)

Moar plot plz.

Edit:

Without killing Benji.

Btw, I'm not convinced the Swedes aren't cannibals and that the group won't just get nommed.

Optimistically assuming Biggie and Bliss are just waylaid, is everybody else still kicking around?
