Couple updates

Sorry, guys, that I haven't really posted anything recently, it's just that I don't really have anything to say about, or at least anything big, but I still have couple small news. So today I was in city and bought myself new string for bass. Sadly I got only four basic strings - E,A,D and G strings, but the B string, that I need since I have five stringed bass, I have to buy separately. And, goddammit, these string were expensive. Almost 60 euros. Although it didn't came as a surprise for me, because I did search for string for some time now and saw the prices on them. But I honestly think they were worth the money. My previous string were soft and the tone was warm, but my new strings are rough and hard, the tone is really sharp and feels really great to play some metal. It's not really what I expected, because I wanted for string that make minimal amount of buzz and my new ones are opposite of that, but non the less it fits me.
   So now that I have good strings, there is left only one, or two, things left to get. First is camera, that will do a decent recording and optional is an amp. Although, I think, I will get first camera and will start doing covers and the amp I will get in some point. And just before I forget; if you are reading this and have some kind of song, that you think might have a good bass line, please, leave the suggestion in comments.
   Also, right now I am working on some short stories. They all pretty much tell about different things and have different genres, but I am just trying out my ideas. Right now one of them is script type and maybe I will ask Jukkis to do machinima based on it, if it will interest him. I do not want to reveal any details on these stories, but at this time there is three tales to tell.
   So I think that about does it for this time, stay tuned for more info and as always, there is 527 days till the rise of hell.

Machinima and Friendship is magic

So I have couple new thing to say about. First off - machinima. So as I said in my first post, I am going to feature my friends machinima. For now, I guess, he is producing two machinimas, one kind of random and silly, and other kind of serious project. And so yesterday he made first episode of this serious project. You can watch it here and if you want to check out his random project, in which I may appear as a voice actor, click here.
   But here is the theme of a today:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I know, I know, you may think, that it's like a childish series and what the fuck a grown up guy like me is watching it. I thought so too. But then I found one video on youtube, that was kind of a remix of a song night of nights from a Japanese game called Touhou, you can watch the video here. Then I got interested in ponys and in the way they were animated, since most of cartoons nowadays are shitty animated, but still didn't want to start to watch the actual series. So I decided to read about them on wikipedia-kind page, that uses imageboard slang and as some of you who visit imageboards knows how boards like ponys. And so from boredom, I decided to watch first episode of it. After the first episode I was like "what the fuck am I watching?", but because the pilot was in two parts, I just had no other option than just watch also the second part. After watching the pilot, I decided to watch the whole thing and basically today at 3 am I finished it and at the same time I understood, that I just love every single pony! Like I said, when I first saw it, my expectations weren't high, but once I got into it, i just couldn't stop watching it.
  The synopsis for the first episode:
"Twilight Sparkle, a talented but introverted student of Princess Celestia, is sent to Ponyville in the hopes that she will open up and make some friends. There, she meets fellow ponies Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. However, she is too focused on researching and preventing a prophecy, involving an evil pony who was sealed within the moon and would return during the "longest day of the thousandth year"." But unfortunately first two episodes only held some kind of plot, but rest of the episodes are more or less self standing, as most of cartoons.
   What I liked in series, is that it had a moral in every episode! It teaches how to be a good friend and stuff. But the absolutely the best part of series are ponies! They are so adorable and lovable. When I only started to watch them, I thought like "I like her, her and her, but I don't like her, her and her" but now I love them all. So if you will say even one shitty word about my little ponies, I swear, I will unleash super angry Fluttershy. Just look at her. 

   So to be honest, I enjoyed these series and since for now I have only watched season 1, I can't wait to see the second season, that should come up somewhere around end of this year. So yeah, that about does it and as always: There is 537 days left till the end.
