bookzombieSo what's been happening besides the Clarke Award stuff mentioned a few days ago?
Work continues to be work; I had my QR yesterday and it went pretty well all told, certainly nothing to worry about. Today we had our annual business review in which I failed to win the Gold Award I was nominated for. No real surprise there; the person who did win in my category frankly deserved it far more than I did. But no free trip to La Manga this year...
Rehearsals are going about as well as can be expected - we are part way through setting the most complex dance routine, causing great hilarity at certain points!
Gaming time sinks have been Rogue Galaxy on the PS2 - an sf JRPG. It's much like other JRPGs, like the Final Fantasy games, but as I really like those that's not an issue!
But, given I got my annual bonus last week, and despite my annoyance at the prices expressed in these pages a few months ago, I have bought Rock Band! And it is great fun. I've not had much chance to delve into it yet but I've mainly been concentrating on having a go on the drum kit (I've always fancied myself as a drummer...) Looking forward to the weekend when I'm hoping to persuadepennskito join me in some multiplayer sessions!
So. just out of curiosity, a question for f-listers who have already been playing Rock Band: When you are playing, what is your (and your playing partners where appropriate) preferred choice of instrument?
ETA: For anyone who is interested my XBox Gamertag is bookzombie, predictibly enough!
