The Weekend Update
Apr 23rd 2007
This weekend started off with some Final Fantasy 7 and a little bit of City of Heroes because I'm starting to feel the desire to play it again and I had a little bit of time.
My friends and I went out to the local (really local) Zoo and wandered around for an hour and a half. We saw all of the exotic animals. The wolf/dog hybrid…the porcupine… Ok, so it's not a world class zoo, but it was a really, really nice day out and it was a nice walk. One of the best parts about a smaller zoo like that is that you don't have to rush everywhere to make sure you see everything. You can hang out and watch for extended periods of time. Although it would have been a lot better had we not just come back from the National Zoo in Washington DC last month.
It was at the zoo I discovered that the LCD screen for my camera is busted. I'm not sure what happened to it..probably got some pressure put on it at one point. I wanted to take a picture of the dog 
Anyway, the camera still works, just the LCD is busted and I'm not sure how successful trying to get a repair done on it would be. Heck, I'd even be willing to pay for the cost of replacement, but I don't want to buy a new camera. It still works though, so it's not entirely unusable. Sigh. Just another thing on the pile.
After the zoo, Jay had to take off to meet with a project group at his school, so Wassy and myself hung out for a bit. The plan was to meet up later and go to Riggiefest…but I'll get to that later.
We joke a lot that we do "stuff" on the weekends usually. That stuff generally is planned out ahead of time, but someday, we'll get to the mythical place of "stuff", no planning…just…"stuff". And if "Stuff" is attainable, then we certainly got close to it there. We wandered around a bit, attempted to bug my sister at her job while buying some tabs for a binder, browsed through a pet store…
Then we met back up with Jay and off we went. Unfortunately, we missed Riggiefest by a couple hours (who has a festival that last 3 hours anyway??) so instead we went to one of the participating restaurants as the next best thing. Riggies, for those who don't live in upstate new york, are kinda a local favorite. They're basically rigatoni in a marinara sauce with chicken and spices and you get tossed out of the area if you've never had them.
After dinner we rented SSX Blur for the Wii which wasn't quite as fun as anticipated. It's not a real good rental game…it's got a bit of a learning curve. So instead we did other stuff until finally settling Karaoke Revolution Party, which I'd rather not talk too much about…
Sunday was mostly boring chores and homework.
QotD: The Audience Goes Wild
Sep 5th 2006
What’s your favorite song to sing karaoke-style? If you don’t have one, why not?
I’ve only done real karaoke a couple times at a friends house, using Karaoke Revolution Party. We had a little competition going for a while since I kept beating her and she tried to pick songs to bring me down. Like Mariah Carey – I Will Always Love You and Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman. But my favorite song out of all the ones that in the game is probably American Woman, the Lenny Kravitz version. My voice is pretty much in the same range as his, so I’m able to actually make it sound pretty good (I think anyway 
)
If I were to expand the question to my favorite song to sing along with, it’d have to be Spock’s Beard – The Light. It’s a long song…about 15-20 minutes or so but, for some reasons I find it really hard not to sing along with it. My vocal range is also pretty similar to Neal Morse’s, so I can take on a lot of the Spock’s Beard songs and do a pretty good job with them.
