Well, at some time in the future if you decide you want to go to college, it is never too late!

LB

I've been in college for six years, and I'm in the process of possibly changing my major.

I second that...I went for a total of 4 years, but kept switching majors so I technically have enough credits for a bachelor's degree, but not enough in 1 subject.  Anyhoo, now I'm going back at the ripe old age of 33 to become an RN ;)


Way to go, Cheer!  ;)

I've been in college for six years, and I'm in the process of possibly changing my major.


I know that it can sometimes be hard deciding on what interests you, but be careful because changing majors can be expensive (as you end up staying in school much longer).

Do you mean my last girlfriend??




She's pretty Mark.May I take her? ;D ;)


Howard

Bobby:How's your girlfriend these days?


Howard

She's pretty Mark.May I take her? ;D ;)


Howard
naw...you already HAVE a girlfriend, Howard :) She IS pretty though....of course anybody looks good next to me! I've lost about 15 lbs. since that was taken back in September and Effie and I are now good friends ;)

Bobby:How's your girlfriend these days?


She's fine, Howard. Thanks for asking.

She's tired these days because it's the run up to Christmas at the school she works at so she is rushed off her feet, bless her. She does a grand job in and outside the house and am lucky to have her.

. . . And no you can't take her.  ;D

Bob:How's the temperature these days where you live?


Howard

Not too bad actually, Howard - but that's because we've had the gas fire on.  ;D

How is your girlfriend doing these days, Howard?  ;D

most definitely.I have a feeling that relieving of her social anxiety slowly but surely is helping her to communicate more with me.We're now holding hands and arguing in a fun way like husband and wife.  ;D

That is brilliant, Howard. Be careful of the fun arguing though, Howard. Your lady may be prone to taking you literally (when you are joking) and this could lead to unneccessary miscommunication.  ;)

Between London and New York? Not too sure, Howard. Probably about 8 hours (it's 12:23 am in the morning here - I ought to go to bed).

If Robin has your mothers genes, she should wash and give them back to her (groan!)  ;D

I don't know the results yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Warren Cann (drummer for Ultravox and esteemed judge of said competition) has not rendered his decision!!! At the very least I would like to know what he thought of my work, and not so much whether I won or not, or who won (though that would be nice to know as well).

OK, I'm waffling. Sorry! :D I'm trying to be patient. :)

Lol. Thank you, Vile.  ;D

Did you have any particular influences in your recording for the competition?

Lol. Thank you, Vile.  ;D

Did you have any particular influences in your recording for the competition?


Well, let me explain about it...:) It was an Ultravox Covers Competition, so obviously the influence would be....ULTRAVOX! :) (No, not Ultravox!...Ultravox. Although I could have done an Ultravox! song if I wanted to at the time...) :D I did two songs: For the Best Cover Category - "Lament" (1984), and for the Best Remix Category - "Just For A Moment" (1978). "Lament," I would say, is as close to the original as I could get it. I think I did quite well! Rush contributed some backing vocals, and we both worked on the music. "Just For A Moment," you would probably have to hear the original to truly appreciate my remix. There's not much to the original song, but mine is even more minimalistic and atmospheric. It was described by someone as being David Lynch-like. So it might sound a bit strange, but I love it. :) I was originally going to do it à capella, but Rush had ideas for music/sounds for it (and by the way, whether it be coincidence or not, he is also a fan of David Lynch). So I did the vocals, he did the music. I cleaned up the arrangement a bit et voilà! I'm very proud of the work we did. I hope it gets some good recognition! :)

Ah yes. Asking about influences in an Ultravox cover competition sounds a bit daft in hindsight. I wish you the best.

You mentioned David Lynch. Are you referring to the film director? I liked him, he directed some great films.

Thank you. Now if a certain drummer would hurry up and decide on the winners, I could be at ease! :)

Yes, I was referring to Mr Lynch the film director. The first thing that popped into my mind though, when I first heard the finished product was it was very Clockwork Orange (the film) like. Some of it reminded me of the synth music Kubrick used in the film way back in 1971...

If we are the warmer part of Britain, you folks up north must be freezing!  ;D

Yes, Karen is right, down here we expect no snow. However, it is generally considered that the more north you go, the more snow you get - and it get's really bad in Scotland (the place you would like to go to  ;)).

Has anyone in here ever decided to come to New York City where I live?

Well, it's a good thing we'd only be spending a short time there! :) If we indeed go to the UK when I'd like to go (mid-late January), we'd be flying to England, spending a bit of time with the in-laws, then going up to Scotland for a couple of days or something because there's a meet-up of Ultravox forum members and a gig for the ultimate Ultravox tribute band, Monument!! :) Then we'd head back to England for a couple more weeks or so. I'd really like to go...and it would get us to England sooner as well! Rush has been quite anxious to go back to visit. ;D

I'm sure we'll survive Scotland. If they have even close to the amount of snow we usually get here, it'll be a piece of cake. ;)
