Well, I’ve not been posting much lately. I apologize for that. When I started this, I thought I would put up at least one post a day, on matters relating to either Comparative Religion, Open Source, or Gaming. The past few days I’ve found new obsessions that have precluded me from posting here, but I will rectify that in the upcoming days. Of course, blogging is a drug, so I should never be away from blogging for too terribly long!
What were the obsessions I’ve developed? In one of my posts in the comment’s section, I said that one of the programs I wanted to watch was ‘Lost’ on ABC. However, I wasn’t going to just start watching it without seeing the previous episodes. Once I said that to a friend of mine, she lent me her copy of Season 1 of ‘Lost’, and then I proceeded to waste Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons and evenings getting caught up! Now, I think I will buy Season 2, just so that I will know what happened during the premiere of Season 3. (Yeah, I caught the last fifteen minutes of it, but I was completely lost, pun intended.)
The other obsession I’ve cultivated was Morrowind. Anyone with a PC or an X-Box has heard of this game. I’ve lost more than one night of sleep exploring the virtual world in this game, I can tell you! It’s been awhile since I’ve played a completely open-ended game with the scope, depth, and history of Morrowind. Right now, I’ve developed an obsession of trying to complete all of the quests in the game, which will keep me busy until well into next year.
Since I consider this a “filler” post until I can put up something with a little more content, I thought I would advertise one of the classically trained pianists I’ve discovered through YouTube. I play the piano myself, but I’m nowhere as accomplished as Gen Segawa. To think, he’s a bodybuilder, a pianist, and developing a world following! To tell you the truth, I’m kind of envious. Oh well, I guess I should have taken Hannon and Czerny a little bit more seriously when I was studying…
This clip is Gen playing Beethoven’s Sonata 14, Third Movement. I chose this as this is currently the piece that I’m studying as well.
