Tone Test

  

Take the test, yo.  


Take the Tone Deaf Test.  As you know, I used to play musical instruments for about ten years.  In another lifetime, I dreamed and went to college to be a music composer.  At my other job, people say I have a good singing voice.  I don’t because I just match notes well because of my musical training.   

 

Anyway, here is a site that tests your tonal recognizing powers.  I took the test and got a 94%.  I missed a few and should have gotten a 100%.

The Karate Kid (2010) (Review Part 2 of 2)

Image
Jackie Chan is probably the best thing about the movie. He brings the father figure character that Pat Morita played in the original. Chan’s Mr. Han is very similar to Mr. Kesuke Miyagi . They have similar “healing” techniques, and they’re both repairmen. (By the way, the technique in this movie is called fire cupping and it is very much real.) The writers in the remake do a better job giving the character a real reason for helping out the kid and teaching him how to fight. Like the original movie, Dre does have a touch moment where he sees Mr. Han upset and a little drunk. Dre becomes the teacher. It is probably the best scene in the movie. Oh, yeah, there is a Crane-kick type of move here that I won’t give away. Chan has two shining moments in the movie. One, when Chan fights off all the bullies that gang up on Dre. It is probably of the few classic Jackie Chan moments in the movie, because Chan really teaches Dre a more classic style of Kung fu than ...

Threshold, Star Trek Voyager

http://www.agonybooth.com/extras/trek/threshold/default.asp?Page=1 Over at the Agony Booth , the great writers over there have finally tackled one of the worst episodes of Voyager, Threshold . Trust me, Voyager was all around a bad show, but this episode takes the Troi cake (with mint frosting). I've never seen a show with so much promise go down the torpedo tubes so fast. What was Brannon Braga thinking when he named his sci-fi show Threshold ? Here is what Albert Walker writes about it. ((Despite his regrets over "Threshold", after Enterprise was canceled Braga developed a sci-fi series for CBS about aliens rewriting people's DNA. And he called it... Threshold. Was he hoping the show would become such an outrageous success that it would completely overshadow the Voyager episode of the same name? If so, it backfired, because the show didn't make it past ten episodes. One can only wonder what next Brannon Braga failure will be worthy of the "Threshol...

Gary Devon Blum

I have bad news. My writing teacher Gary Devon Blum passed away a few days ago. This morning I receive an e-mail with his name on it, and I knew before opening it that he had died. His wife stated that he passed away. I went and visited him a week before he died. It pained me so much to see him in such a way, but I knew he’d be happy to see me. When I saw him, he opened his eyes and he looked so happy to see me appear in the doorway, despite not being able to talk. I told him how my life was going and that I’d plan to visit him again. After I left the hospital, little did I know it would be the last time I’d ever see him. He wrote a few novels and taught at a few local universities, and this was where I met him. Gary was the kind of guy that had a low voice, but was soft-spoken. I can truly say that he was gentle person and cared about others. When I first met him and took his workshops, he helped me get through a difficult time in my life. He showed me that...
