14 Oct 08 Hull Ukulele Facebook Group

Oh noes, ive set up a Hull Ukulele Facebook group!!

There are currently 2 memebers of the group. Me and Matthew – but hes my mate, not a ‘real’ person, so im not sure that counts!

It shall be a battle of old school advertising (ie, flyers & posters) verses New School/Social Networking. Which method will prove most successful?

03 Oct 08 It don’t matter if shes fat

A simple Jonathan Coulton song for you this week. Its just G, C & D – yay!

Just as long as me – Jonathan Coulton

Its hard to explain on the chordsheet, but basically the intro & and vamp is 1 bar of G, 1/2 bar of C, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of D, 1 bar of G.

If you dont know how it goes, Youtube user ‘spiffworld’ has made a fantastic ‘World of Warcraft’ Machinanima video for the song.

10 Aug 08 Fire insurance for ladybugs

Hello,

Long time no post. Im spending nearly all of my spare time entertaining a giant baby at the moment, so what better way to keep Zym 2.0 (and me & Mrs Zym) amused than with a bit of classic Sesame Street!!

LadyBugs Picnic – Sesame Street

The song is currently being used on a british TV advert for Heinz, but over at ilovefizzypop towers I like to keep things ‘old school’…

(unfortunately my pc died recently and ive only just go round to replacing it. I havent managed to (ahem) aquire of a copy of MS office as yet, so the chords to this were done on Google Docs which, to be fair, seems rather good, and has the advantage of being able to save files straight to PDF – nice)

Yes, it is possible to play Guitar Hero 3 and look after a baby at the same time…

02 May 08 GTA:IV FTW

I couldnt face buying GTA:IV at midnight on the 29th, but i did buy it on the way to work at 8 in the morning. The guy in blockbusters said that they had 450 people turn up at midnight, and were open until 3:30am!

I am enjoying it, but my progress is very very slow (through lack of opportunity to play)

I did a little mission in front of my mother yesterday (She has been up for a couple of days to help look after Zym 2.0)

It involved me and my cousin ‘Roman’ chasing a bloke in a car. Every other word out of Roman’s mouth was either Fuck or shit – mainly cos I was banging into other cars, lamp posts & people, and on the radio was talk show caller lamenting the pharmaceutical companies for the lack of normal strength weed currently available in Liberty City.

Then, when I finally caught the guy, I punched him until he dropped his knife, then picked it up and used it to stab him to death.

I was laughing hysterically throughout all of this, while my mother was wishing she hadn’t agreed to hold the baby while I played it!!

Good Times :)
