OOOH MYYY GOOOD my computer caught on fire.

Thankfully I had just finished backing everything up. I was gonna reformat it, but then my brother was looking at the RAM, wondering why I had 448mb of RAM I always thought didn't make sense. Then he put it back in, and the monitor wouldn't work. Then he started shouting "DANE IT'S ON FIRE! YOU'RE COMPUTER IS ON FIRE!" I didn't believe him but sure enough there was a tiny little flame in there. I blew on it and then he turned it off and it went away.

It was very dramatic. And smelly. One of the most exciting things to happen to me in a while. Of course I wouldn't have been excited if I didn't have everything backed up, I'd just be depressed. Funny that.

Fortunately I still have our Rhubarb Zoo computer all to myself while Jeremy is in London. Hopefully it won't catch on fire either.

In other news, these things are awesome:

*Avatar: the Last Airbender. I say this a lot, but I think this is by far one of my favourite shows of all time now. Like, probably second to Evangelion. I dunno, I'll have to watch Kaiba again. But in any case, it's faaaaaantastic. I love it so much. Iroh is my favourite character, he's so awesome.

*Wii. I got one a few weeks ago. Mario Galaxy is great. Mariokart is hard.

*12 Angry Men. This is probably one of my favourite movies now. So simple yet so clever! On the complete opposite side of the movie spectrum, but still freakin' awesome was District 9. Good movies get me so excited!!!

That is all.

Cheers for the fav man. How's things?
:iconspringymajig:
Things are good :) Been working at Tangata Whenua TV for about a year now, saving some money to work on my own projects.

I'm your fangirl now! =P I'm in love with enthropy, It's sooo awesome. You should make a full song for it.
:iconspringymajig:
Hehe thanks :) There sort of is a full song... I smooshed all the music together in the film as one song which is in the Entropy Pack [link]

Unfortunately the vocalist is traveling around the world... I really have no idea where she is... I'm pretty bad at keeping in touch with people on Facebook and all that jazz... if I could find someone just as good who wanted to contribute vocals maybe I would write a full version... a lot of people are asking for one, and I always wanted to work with vocals more.
:iconawesome-dylan:
I am very much in love with the credits song of Entropy, I know theres a remix but any chance of doing a full song?
I would love you long time.

Thanks... I don't think I'll do anything more with the music from Entropy. The remix is essentially the same music just strung together into a full length song.

I would like to do more songs with proper vocals in them... hopefully I'll find more people that would want to sing for me, if I can be bothered writing more lyrics.

But I don't really write much music these days. I enjoy doing the soundtracks for these though.
:iconroxaswannabe:
I love the music that you made for Entropy.
I can't get the lyrics out of my head - I wrote them down so that if I ever have kids, I can sing them to them as a lullaby. ;P

I wish that there was a full song with the lyrics, but seriously, it doesn't matter.
I might buy the pack just for that mp3.
It's just so amazing. You did a really good job.
Congrats. :D

What if there's always cups in the sink, and
what if I'm not what you think I am?
:iconspringymajig:
Thanks a lot! The lullaby comment is very flattering :blush:

The mp3 in the pack is more or less all the music in the film strung together into one song, with a few added bits and pieces to make it work better as a stand-alone song. The singing doesn't go all the way through but perhaps it'll be enough to satisfy any fans of the music :)
:iconroxaswannabe:
You're welcome! You deserve it.
And it sounds awesome. I haven't bought the pack yet; I'm kind of making my own variation in my head and humming it. xD
It's been stuck in my head all day today.
And it really is very relaxing. You're quite the composer.
