A year in review
Another year has come and gone and really, I wanted to post something on Christmas but time did not permit it so here we go, New Years Eve~
Many things have happened this year and at last, it’s time to look back on them, to close the book on another year and look forward to 2009.

The first snow of the season~
Of all times it chooses to snow eh? JUST on the day I have to go to school for exams. Snow is nice and all and I love the snow, but walking through the snow to get to exams and whatnot?… not fun… especially since my campus is completely outdoors. Well, it’s not snowing anymore but it is raining really hard, which makes it just as miserable to walk through. Iono though, snow just… makes the season feel more festive and whatnot and it’s like a reality jolt saying that the Christmas holidays are almost here.
Anyways, my Phil 100 exam is in 45 minutes so I’ll cut it off there but I will say this: Im going to have A LOT of fun getting home through this rain >_> Not to mention I need to finish my exam early to catch a bus home… really though, WHY would you put an exam on Friday at 7 pm? >_> It’s almost as fail as all the first years complaining about having an Econ midterm at 7 pm on Halloween, lol.

A video preview (sort of)
Well, I havent been posting actively lately… heck, in a long time but… here we go. Finally something new for you guys to look at/listen to. After tonnes of work, I have finally come up with… well, something.
For those who havent been keeping track, Ive been having problems getting “quality” recording… simply put, my laptop and mp3 mics both suck A LOT and I end up with shitty quality. This time, I tried using my DVD Camcorder, hoping it’s mic is better. I merely used that and then extracted it into MP3 format. This provided a whole new problem in itself because I dont like having people around when I record music so I had to wait for a time when my whole family wasnt home and I am, which is Monday and Wednesday nights and for a few weeks, even then, there were people home so it took a while before I could actually get time to myself to record, adding to my fustrations.
With all that being said, this is something new in <some> senses. While my compositional techniques stay somewhat the same, the mood I aimed for this time is different. As is the treatment of the melody and the contrast I stuck in it.
With this, I present to you, “The Coffin of Regrets”.
