You do not need to be Alexi to learn by ear. I will admit, that I am an awful guitarist. But even I can figure stuff by ear. You can too.

Or else Joey DeMaio does not love you.

I can learn some riffs by ear, but not entire songs. I'm not a real musician. :D

[Dogmantra]

Dang...everyone seems to be wearing really nice avatars lately. And mine kinda looks...well not bad, but not particularly good either. I mean I've got a jacket and stuff, but I dunno...

Anyone have any suggestions for my avatar?

Invent a style. Seriously, then no-one can tell you it's bad because hey, it's part of the style. The fact it's grotesque and poorly proportioned? Part of the style. The fact it looks pretty horrible but you don't want to admit it? Part of the style.

You don't like the style?

[Recaiden]

That's a terrible thing to recommend, dogman.

It's fine to have a style, but a style shouldn't just cover up mistakes.

Didn't you read? They're not mistakes, it's part of the style

I worry sometimes that I don't make my jokes obvious enough. There is was humour via poking fun at the fact I change styles every half hour and also by pointing out that no-one seems to like my delicious experiments. Then again, I think Frostire got it.

[Kobold-Bard]

Could someone do me a favour and check youtube. It won't work for me and I can't figure out why.

[Pyrian]

YouTube is working fine for me, sorry.

Thanks anyway

Of course snickerdoodles have peanut butter! They're dry as the Atacama without! Next thing you'll tell me you don't cross the top with fork-marks!

No, peanut butter would ruin them. Also, why would I cross the top with anything? When I throw them into the oven, they are spheroids. When I remove them from the oven they are moist morsels of perfection! When would I do this strange, and probably heathen, ritual of crossing the tops of the cookies?

Also, to the unlearned, Snickerdoodles are cookies made from, in no particular order, butter, sugar, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, all purpose flour, and eggs. Then the dough is chilled for a few hours, rolled into balls, and rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then they are baked for 8 minutes, or 10 if the oven is a bit cold, and served warm.

All this talk of food is making me hungry. That reminds me that I never really had dinner. Should I go have soup or eggs with canadian bacon?

[Raiki]

I think the two of you must be thinking of different cookies. Peanut butter cookies must always have fork marks. Snickerdoodles, however, are more of a cinnamon cookie than a peanut butter cookie, and are quite fluffy and delicious even without peanut butter.

Both, however, are most excellent.

Edit: Any meal with bacon is automatically better than any meal without bacon, so I vote #2.

[Dallas-Dakota]

The young grasshopper called Raiki is right in this matter.

I once tried Peanut butter cookies without fork marks, it did not end very well....

[Trobby]

Cake?

Men In Black style is always good.

Alternatively create some Fanatstic Four avatars for people and then you can all battle my Galactus-Kobold that I got for IN SPACE!! week.

I suggest a dashing pirate hat, a toga, and cowboy boots.

*scribbling notes down* So a black-glasses wearing cake-holding on fire pirate with cowboy boots? Sure, I think I can do that. Just give me some time to warm up my art.

[tyckspoon]

..a black-glasses-wearing cake holding (an) on fire pirate with cowboy boots?

FTFY. (What a difference punctuation makes.)

I feel the need to raise my eyebrow inquisitively. Was that purposeful?

WOO!!

Life lesson for the day: It doesn' matter if the lottery costs you £3/week to play for months on end, when you win £7 it is still a sweet victory

[Pyrian]

Now I'm hungry. But I don't have any calories to spare for pies.

[Trobby]

I feel the need to raise my eyebrow inquisitively. Was that purposeful?

No, but I'm glad you caught it. Also, no, the cake will not be holding the pirate. I'm going for the other way around. Though the cake may or may not be on fire. And may or may not be a lie.

Okay, you inspired me to rehydrate some apples, find a very old pie crust mix, and turn on the oven. I even carved a pi into the top of my pie. It should be done in 50 minutes!

[Trobby]

Oh right, speaking of which, I gotta go eat some of my dad's Pi. :3

What would be best, is to arrange a bunch of pies into the Pi symbol.

I've always been of the impression that I was older than you(?)...though I could be wrong.

::Shrugs:: I've been called worse things than 'young grasshopper' I suppose.


Anyway, Kudos DeeRee on making quite possibly the coolest pi(e) ever.

[Graymayre]

The snow is finally gone from my small town in Eastern coast USA.

I am sad for its passing. Despite the hassles it brings I love snow, and having piles of it that went up to your mid-section was a rare gift. All those fields of white and silence for miles around. It was like some galactic artist wiped off the planet in preparation for its next work of art.

[Rattine]

I am sitting in my room. Eating lasagna. I am happy. :)

Yay for Pi day! I'll just celebrate it at school tomorrow. >.> Too lazy/busy today :P

Nameless plays guitar? Sweeeeet. :D I do/did, but I'm not that good.... >.>

My mom just knit me a VERY cunning hat.

Sits well. A man who walks down the street wearing this hat ain't afraid of nothing.

[Dragonrider]

Phase:


So this evening, my mum and I watched what probably is the worst Star Trek: TNG episode ever filmed. No, I say that and mean it. Episode 2.22. Alternates between Troi wincing, whatserface the season 2 doctor looking serious, Riker's face contorting, and flashbacks to previous episodes.

Clearly they had exceeded their budget for the year and needed filler.

I always say I'm "learning" guitar. That way, if I play something badly, I have an excuse. :P

You mean worse than Code of Honour? Where the planet of only black people kidnap Tasha Yar and make her fight to the death, just because....

TNG makes me sad because I love the awesome characters, but there are so many pants episodes to watch before you get to the gold; such as the Q episodes.

God I love Q

So, despite technically being a full time student with a part time job, I am spending 5 hours in lectures and 33 hours in work this week.

I think I may have got this wrong

I like this. Simple, yet elegant. I need to get me some pasta, too.
