Yarrr

Yarr, The Scourge of tha Seven Servers, I be.  A pirate like none before. Well, I do spend most of my time online acquiring some lovely bits of ones and zeros in either audio or video configurations..  In fact, my dad, Kevo, and I got together to share our music collections from iTunes.  Because of this, I now have about 3300 songs to listen to. It's interesting to look at the three of our collections side by side.  Obviously, there is a lot in common now that we have shared (and shared alike), but my dad has more of the Classic Rock and a little bit of newer stuff, while Kevo has mainly punk, indie rock, j-pop, and metal with bits of classic rock and more put in there.  I have the most eclectic (read: weird) collection, spanning blues, jazz, metal, rock, alternative, j-pop, other techno, and comedy and audio books. Not that I have listened to all of my music yet, that is.  I have my Audioscrobbler keep track of what I listen to, and when the system repopulates the list, I will be number 10 on the top 10 Tull listeners, a title which I have earned only by having Tull in copious amounts on my iTunes while listening randomly. And yes, my avatar for Audioscrobbler is Hulk Hogan selling Pasta.  That shirt indeed says "Pastamania!"  I was not about to be outdone by Kevo's Chuck Norris. Also, Jason and Susie came over to dad's last night, so dad, Jason, Susie, Kevo, and I played a rousing game of Star Wars Monopoly, wherein dad got the first Monopoly, the Coruscant properties (Boardwalk and Park Place).  Jason engineered a 4 person trade with the rest of us, giving us each at least one monopoly.  My dad was soon decimated and sent home, penniless, and Susie and I teetered on the brink of collapse.  I gave way first, but she had soon followed, and Kevo did not last much longer.  Jason was the winner with a total of $10,015 at the end of the game.  That is a huge amount!! Also, though my dad beat Jason at an 8-ball and a 9-ball tournament, he still lost at Upwords 207 to Jason's 267.
