Wednesday, December 04, 2024 Is a toddler's potty training something most new parents dread, or is this just another "let's get this over with". It goes with the territory. Fortunately, ours is a quick learner. Lest Tim Chantarangsu's toddler son gives you the "Watchu talkin' about Willis" look hahaha. "Last Breath" looks claustrophobic. I can't imagine having to be in one of them underwater suits and underwater the entire filming process, which Simu probably had to do. It's a movie - of course, there's going to be fictional or dramatic elements. C'mon, was "The Al Yankovic Story" entirely true (of course - I didn't know Weird Al was a real-life Rambo who had affairs left and right haha). I quit BG Blitz weeks ago. Blizz-tards aren't going to do a damn thing. As long as players stay subscribed and still making profit, they are not going to give a damn. Players would have to unsuscribe "en masse" to the point of company bankruptcy for any kind of changes. PvP has not been a priority for the company. Blitz was initially a welcoming mode, but in the end a "failed experiment". I might try again for the new season. Sunday, December 01, 2024 Recording is a luxury at this point (with the new baby), since it's not a job. Fortunately, I'm exercising my birthday present wish to schedule some time to record the Liszt piece. If all goes well, it'll be one of my top favorites since I consider this one of the most expressive pieces ever. And some Concertos out there. What's a birthday party without taking home leftover cake and cupcakes. Food, folks and fun. With the emphasis on dessert. Hahaha. What the hell is a Savate. Only Jeff Chan would know, since he seemed to have learned it faster than an average pianist learning a mediocre Scarlatti or Salieri piece. Hahaha. Savate seems to be the Sissy form of martial arts. I wasn't surprised that Jeff Chan mastered it in a heartbeat. Friday, November 29, 2024 For the holidays, only Tim Chantarangsu can provide words of wisdom and truth: "Even if you have children, stay childish" (so that you can visit Disneyland if anything). Hahaha. Some actually interesting news / tidbits of the month: Tim Chantarangsu had a reunion with RUSSELL for his hit "Homegirl" track. One of my favorites. Sung Kang + Asia GQ = Glorious I believe the Liszt Etude No. 1 is probably one of the most expressive pieces I've encountered. Other than Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso, and a Beethoven Sonata of mine. I haven't been this excited or anxious for a recording in awhile. Finding the time or figuring out a time when I can go all out has been a doozy. Page 2 |
