- The snow has mostly melted.
+ At least the roads are completely snow-free now.
+ We got to take advantage of the snow last evening, just in time :)

+/- It's suddenly so warm compared to other days that the 30 centimetres of snow have instantly disappeared.
- Ice crashing down loudly from our roof onto the roof of our kitchen is making us all jump up from our seats occassionally.
+ Rulez's metallophone recording sounds nice.
+ Going to watch some friends perform on an open-stage event.
- Got a presentation to give in class and am not entirely confident.

Today I learned xylophones are metallophones.

Isn't that a marimba anyway? It has these tubes under it. :)

Sorry, sorry. You're right. I thought those tubes automatically made it a marimba, but I looked it up and apparently xylophones can have those tubes as well.

All mallet instruments have tubes, vibraphones included. It helps to resonate the tone.

Here's a mildly interesting story - I used to dislike this kind of instruments, but now I just love "doodling" on the xylophone 'v'

And don't get me started on the vibraphone, oh mmmm oh yesssss ooooooooh be gentle

Shitty weekend... everybody has problems.

I also hope you'll get better very soon > a doliprane, ibuprofen or anything to calm that down?

I just thought it sounded really a lot like a metallophone. Mistake!

Get well soon, Rulez!

I don't have any of that, sadly. Also, in my opinion, headaches from pressure are much worse than "normal" headaches. While the pressury one only appears every once in a while, it makes me all dizzy and blind for two seconds. Regular headaches are just annoying.

-Had an awful nightmare... it was so terrible it made me tear....
-Nobody believes me when I say that Rayman Origins is upscaled to HD when it is played on the Wii U... They think I'm making up the fact... I'm not a liar, jesus fuck.
+Somehow, my Mario Galaxy 2 disc works on my Wii U!! I feel great for that, because my old Wii didn't read it and it was an amazing game.

The Wii U does scale it up, but in the loosest definition of the term, so it has little to no effect. If it looks that much better, than it's either a lucky illusion, you're imagining it, or your eyesight is being very liberal with you.

Oowww ouch. That's not a good string of things happening to you. Hope it gets better soon!

- I'm freaking out about a school assignment because I can't bring myself to it to actually fucking do something.
+ It's my own fault, at least.
