So
I'm so far behind that I decided may as well just put it up. Um, let's see.
I guess the new Super Smash Bros. Brawl site had just gone up, and I decided
to draw Pit because he looked really cool. He's Greek! Huzzah! Except he
didn't come out nearly right, and then I tried TP Link, but he didn't work
either. Too bad this is only Pit's second incarnation - it's really cool,
but he's so old - the first games came out in 8-bit or whatever! It's a bit
painful. Oh, well. He's getting some recognition now. And I understand the
first game is insanely hard (as most early games are) due to not-quite-perfect
game mechanics, etc.Tuesday, I'm not sure what happened... I was very tired, I'm sure of that. I had almost ALL of my books to take to school. I'm better than that now. Oh, yes, I remember. I went and borrowed the Ligeti Organ Etudes book and CD from the library, and then listened to them. I can't imagine how they made some of those sounds on the first one - and I'm an organist! It's an insane piece, and the score is utterly useless since it's terribly difficult to hear the changing notes when the registration is changing so much. Also on the CD, but I didn't listen to it yet, is a piece that literally fried an organ.
Step One: Pull out ALL the stops.
Step Two: Couple all manuals to one:
Step Three: Play all keys on that manual.
Step Four: POOF.
Ligeti tried his piece out on a tracker (mechanical) organ first, and it worked, but then went to do it on an electric...
Smoke started coming out of the pipes.
It didn't help that someone used a bent sewing needle to replace a fuse some time earlier.
Ouch.
