my view of beirut at the hifi

2012-02-05T20:01:00.000+10:00

surprisingly not the first time i've seen a sousaphone in a rock and roll show. though certainly, however, the first time i saw a sousaphone *solo* at a rock and roll show... :)

it would seem, based on observations made that night and the night before, that beirut fans have better fashion and are generally more attractive than fleet foxes fans. fyi.

At GOMA Up Late, Brisbane, 27 Jan 2012

Apologies for (and on behalf of) the majority of the audience who apparently felt no obligation to shut their yap holes, even for the briefest of moments.

maybe this is better

2012-01-29T22:10:00.000+10:00

perhaps authentic is better than perfect... (i started trying crop the previous image to make it better... felt wrong)

Update: THIS might be the best photo I've ever taken.

i'm not that into guitars. i mean guitars in general excite me a great deal, but specific models of guitars don't really. maybe it's due to my lack of skills. that said, i think this one will do very nicely.. :)

1. my first ravine. it's pretty much right under my first base. spectacular view! i am building a viewing platform and some safe walkways in and out.

2. the ravine also has this very rare and wonderful two tone waterfall

3. my first map. (this made me very happy).

not pictured: sheep island (it was so beautiful).

I haven't played a whole lot since 1.6-ish. there are many little subtle wonderful changes i'm noticing. my home currently is a little peaceful valley completely surrounded by mountains. also great: oceans, running, hunger, the new bow. i have no idea what potions and enchanting tables are for. in summary, :D :D :D

also it was my first time using teamspeak, which is pretty cool. i'm still getting the hang of press-to-talk.

ps, here is freman talking about our new world. he seems sad! cheer up freman!
