So, an update. It's been a while since I did a proper one of those. Not sure why - have been rather quiet/shy online lately for no particularly good reason.
Had a meeting with the architect this lunchtime to check some stuff about the boiler, which will have to be moved as part of the building work, annoyingly. Aparently, we can have it downstairs even if the bathroom is upstairs which sounds weird to me, but far be it from me to contradict the architect (actually, even if this turns out to be untrue, there is somewhere sensible we can put it so I'm not worried). We have now sent off our paperwork for buildings regs and I have to start asking around for quotes from builders. This is rather scary as then the cost of the project will actually start to become real. Yikes!
Ended up having a very quiet weekend as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
white_hart and topicaltim were in no state to come over for Sunday lunch. It was quite nice, actually, though. Alex and I played a co-op career in GHIII, me on medium rhythm (relaxing :)) and him on easy bass (first time) so that when Rock Band comes out we'll be in practice. Actually, I wonder if I could pick up a copy while I'm in the states - will it work on a UK PS2 if I do that? Mind you, strikes me as something that it would be tricky to get onto the flight home :)

And support for my idea of sticking a wiimote down your sock and using the motion sensing to detect high kicks and other rock gymnastics.
And to see instruments other than guitar, drums and mic. Lots of people already have bongos, so let's get those supported. Also, DDR mats, for if your band has a Bez. You can already get USB pseudo-turntables, for scratching CDs; support those, and you can form a hip-hop group. A generic wind instrument wouldn't be too hard: it'd be a stick with buttons down it, and a nozzle you blow in; nozzle straight and it's a clarinet, bent back and it's a saxophone, bent to one side and it's a flute. Then we just need a double bass and we can play Evenings tracks!
