Lstv @ MindSay

Hi. This is going to be the first of two blogs today, and that's because I wanted to get one wrote before Mena left to go to Egypt. The second one will come later tonight, and I'll go into a little bit more detail about a few things that I don't want her to know about just yet. Hence the blog title, you see.

So, as I told you last week, I have a new job, and I start it on Monday. I shan't go into too much detail, because then it gives me something to babble on about on Monday in the next LSTV video, but needless to say I don't think I've been looking forward to starting a job so much since I was leaving Partners to go to Game. I will of course inform you as to how I get on.

Speaking of LSTV, next week will see the start of a brand new MindSay blog. I was musing about it the other day, and after some discussions with Mena over whether or not it would be a good idea, I've decided to go for it. No harm done, at the end of the day.

Basically, it's gonna be a blog that will be dedicated to the LSTV videos and nothing else. When it opens on Monday it'll already be 15 entries long, as each video will occupy it's own entry. I'm doing this purely for ease of use, as I'm aware that I'm not the only person who does videos called LSTV, so it saves going onto YouTube and searching. You could also subscribe to me on YouTube (LivingSedative), but in fairness, the easier something is, or the more options you have to do something, the better. It also means that this blog can continue to focus on being about me or my music, and it keeps the video blogs seperate. I'm gonna be in the process of making a kick-ass blog layout for it later on this week as well, based on the current Season 4 opening credits, so keep an eye out for it.

Whilst I'm in the announcing mood, I'm also keeping myself busy with a little project of mine. For a while now, I've been interested in doing comics. First off I started remaking AWFF the Comic, but I stopped when I realised that I wasn't doing it for the right reasons. Then, I started planning a series called Legends Inc., which also fell through. Now, I intend on doing a series called The NEW Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. It's gonna be a comic/animated cartoon series, and I'm in the process of making the teaser trailer for it, which I'm aiming to have done rather soon, as I'm nearly finished with the animating bit. It's going to be a weekly series, with three comics and a cartoon at the end of the month.

The comics will be standalone, and usually just a four panel strip which focuses on a particular event. There may be times where comics will encorporate a little story and run for two or three weeks, but nothing major.

The cartoon is a little different. They will have a story arc (as such) which will run over the course of two or three months. The first episode's a nice little idea I've got regarding Super Sonic and Dr. Robotnik (no Eggman crap here!), so hopefully you'll like it. Whilst characters will speak, it'll be in the form of speech bubbles and not spoken word, which should work out to be heaps better.

I'm aiming to have the series primed and ready to start for around September, though do be aware that this is me we're talking about, so I don't actually know when it'll be done :P

And finally - The surprise mentioned at the top. I'm not going to say anything other than the following: It's musical, but isn't related to Living Sedative or Project Overdose (which nobody knows about yet, because I've not told you what it is) :P It'll be done by the time Mena gets back from Egypt, and that's a cast iron promise. It's my number one priority, and I'm going to continue to work on it until it is finished. And it's not just one track. It's about three.

For everybody bar Mena, tune in tonight for Part II, where I'll be a little more specific, but not much, because chances are Mena'll read it before she's meant to know what it is :p

See you soon!

OK, so I'm finally at 10 episodes of LStv. It's embedded below if you fancy watching it.

WARNING: It contains me singing. You've been warned.

The Best and Worst of 2006 is coming up later today.

LStv Episode VII has been recorded and uploaded to YouTube, and will be coming when YouTube hurries the fuck up and approves it.

Other than those two, I hope everybody has a Happy New Year, and that there's a good 12 months in store for you :D

This time, I did them off my own back :D

I must admit though, she did give me the inspiration to. We were talking about how fantastic the last three days have been (cos they have), I went onto one of her old blogs to read the poem she'd wrote about me last August, called I Like The Way. That in itself was enough to make me write a few more. Three, in fact, if you didn't read the blog title.

Anyways, they're on PostPoems (dur!), and are called the following:

1 - I Love the Following Things About You
2 - You're So Fucking Special
3 - Heroine

They're in the Mena folder (again, dur!), and brings my actual total amount of poems posted to 118! Yay for me.

Whilst talking about poems, I today managed to suss out a song structure for Summer Afternoons in Greenwich, a poem I wrote for Mena last week sometime. Basically, it'd go like this:

So,
Here we are,
Sat on our,
Favourite bench.

Cuddled together,
And watching,
Nothing in particular.

Maybe,
It's the dog,
He's found something in the lake.
Feels the need to jump in,
And find it.

Maybe,
It's the kids,
Playing in the playground.
Giving you the urge,
To go join them.

And so on. I'm not going to write the whole poem here as it would be as a song, but needless to say, it's an acoustic ballad which I will be looking at recording.

And finally - LStv. I was meant to be doing Episode VII today, but I didn't. It'll get done Sunday/Monday.

Till next time.

Contrary to what is said in the blog, I'm not doing Episode VII today. I'll do it tomorrow, instead. Only just decided that.

Anyways, here's the first of a two parter, chronicling what I feel has been the best, and worst, music, film and game of the past 12 months.

Episode VI, aka Part 1, is the Best ofs, and Episode VII will be the worst ofs. On Thursday, I'll be blogging the results in a written blog, so you don't have to watch the vlogs if you don't want to. You'll just have to wait longer to find out, that's all :P

Anyways, here's LStv Episode VI:
