  1. I am a little embarrassed to say that I can spend months without touching the guitar. But since I'm a creature of habits, it's usually fairly easy for me to make time for it. My shift ends at 4 am. I cook and eat a meal, take a power nap, head down to the home gym/dojo and workout for 40 minutes or so, then do chores and/or yard work for a bit. Then I pick up a book and read for an hour before heading back upstairs for an hour of Japanese lessons. And then, it's time to close shop, so I grab a guitar and head for the bedroom where I sit in bed in front of an anime or a Japanese movie and practice for 60-90 minutes. Before I know it, it's 10:30 and bed time. That's for practicing, and on week days - on weekends, anything goes. And of course, I also like to grab a guitar and just play at random times. Not quite as brilliantly as Kenny, though.
  2. Man, I'm the biggest part of my life is behind me and I don't have kids.
  3. That really takes the cake. lol Fun times ahead with AI managing content. I think I remember mentioning how Facebook automatically put me in time out for two days after I posted my cover of Ozzy's Su*c*de Solution. Because of that word. Then there's that post I made using a picture I found on Google which was later used in an article that contained false information. My post was thereafter flagged and hidden, even if it had nothing to do with the article. And it seems that there's no way to even appeal. That's rather trivial, but imagine when something more important is involved. It's already a pain to deal with huge corporations as is... Fun times ahead.

    Yes!

    That's the plan. I've been listening to Nursery Cryme the most, but I've added Fox Trot to the rotation. I'll be adding Selling England and The Lamb gradually. I feel the albums are worth taking the time.
  5. Boat? We can all agree that I get 100 times the points for NOT posting the theme song from Titanic by Celine Dion, right?
  6. A few years ago, Netflix seemed to drop most of my favorite shows (Cheers, Frasier, That 70's Show) and started pushing more and more a lot or cheap foreign language content. I'm a foreigner myself, I speak a few languages, and to be honest, most of the movies I watch are in Japanese or Chinese. I just didn't like the way they went about it, so I unsubscribed for a bit. They do have a fantastic selection of K-Drama, if that's one's thing. I keep Netflix mostly for the next season of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The one platform that keeps on surprising me is Tubi. They have lots of classic American series from the 60's, 70's and 80's, and tons of cool old horror movies, and some nice documentaries, too. Honestly I spend more time on Tubi and free platforms like Pluto than on any paid platform. There's ads, but that's why G-d invented the mute button. Amazon used to be great, but now it's like a hub. 3/4 of the movies I would be interested in require an additional subscription. And most of the free ones that I like come through Freevee, so there's ads too.
  7. This one for Craig. IIRC, his pal (also named Craig) played on this one. Dio - All The Fools Sailed Away
  8. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Cosmic Surfin'
