Suzanne's Soundtrack Sunday

So, you're a musically inclined person. You like to sing? Can read music? Maybe play an instrument or two, like the piano and glockenspiel? Then, do you think Guitar Hero *might* be a worthwhile and easy game to play?

Well, in the battle of Suzanne vs. Guitar Hero, I lost and it won. I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise, since I don't even play air guitar.

Let's see:
I had this need to press the buttons ON the beat, rather than a half beat before.
The wrists, they don't like when I flex that much.
That rocker thing where you'd pluck the strings? Yeah, I suck.

Don't get me wrong, it is a lot of fun. When you're watching others, like maybe someone who REALLY knows how to play guitar (like Ed) do a song.

I got boo'ed off the stage. Twice. Less than a minute into the song.

Since I don't see Piano Hero as a likely future release, I'll just have to relax and be part of the audience.

How about you? I'm pretty sure anyone out there that has played with Guitar Hero couldn't possibly suck at it as bad as I did!

Can't say that I've played it, but the half a beat before thing would drive me nuts.

I played it at best buy. It was set to advanced. Needless to say, I got booed off within 4 chords.

I hear that some people enjoy it. I don't know that I am coordinated enough to be one of those people.

I gave you an award on my blog. You're welcome to do whatever with it that you want!

Joyce, apparently, guitarists are used to this. I am no guitarist.

Janna, tell you what-we'll be in the audience. We can drink and relax while the coordinated folk have to focus on getting 60 notes in a row!

BTW, thanks for the award. :)

Glad that I'm not "Guilty By Association" on this one

I thought I was done with the DISboards stuff, really I did. However, the hypocricy and racism displayed by Webmaster Pete and others on a memorial show is deplorable. Sadly, all it does is show that the man who died is the only one who has some scruples among the staff. I'm awaiting some You Tube links to the entire unedited podcast and then an edited link to just the racism portion. In the meantime, I'm posting the transcript of the 'tribute' to Bob. These were transcribed by a former DISer for me. Thanks. ************************************************************************************* Here is a link to the DIS' podcast page : http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/ (note, the podcast in question has been removed from the web. It was on YouTube for a couple of days and viewed about 1000 times before being shut down) The following is a transcribed portion of the show that was especially upsetting to many. It began around the 1 hour & 3

Wal Mart Your Zone $500.00 Gift Card Contest!

Note to new visitors-this contest has ended. Thank you. For several months now, I have participated in WalMart 's Beyond Eleven Moms, a collective of bloggers who partner with WalMart to give feedback on products already in stores and ideas about products that the company can offer in their stores. Last month, I was approached to help test out a new product line in the stores. Many retailers offer room decor for youngsters and college students, but affordable furniture, bedding and decor for teens was hard to find. Enter Your Zone ! We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib.

Webmaster Alex speaks Anonymously

**Please note, this post was written in 2008, over 7 years ago.  This is not current, but remains to detail the DISboards bannings.** The other day, I wrote of my banning from the Disboards, a site I belonged to for six years. I was banned for participating in another site, as were approximately 35 others. The list will be posted further in this entry. If you skip this post because it doesn't mean anything except to the participants, I don't mind. This is mainly out there for the hundreds (over 7,500 now!**) of Google searches that have been directed to my blog since the bannings. Lord knows, anytime anyone asks a question on the Disboards, it'll be poofed faster than you can say "delete." Curiously, I received an anonymous comment that rambled on and on. It rather reminded me of Socrates, my older brother who has delusions of grandeur. When I first read the comment, I thought, "Oh goody, a moderator has come to call me a bully." Wanna re
