Me singing! Me singing? ME singing. Me SINGING ... ;)

Mulan is an incredibly beautiful movie by Walt Disney (Yes, I am outing myself as a Disney fan :D) on a young woman who rescues her father*s life by joining the military, disguised as his son. Not only is it a pleasure to watch the movie and follow Mulan*s story, but also the songs are so incredibly beautiful, and I CERTAINLY cannot surpass the limit of ability that was set when the song "Reflection", or in German "Spiegelbild", was created, but I tried to do it nevertheless.

My version of the song can be downloaded here now. If you like to, that is. It was also one of the tests I ran with my new microphone, so ... I hope you will like it?

Battling the battle to battle the battle.

Now I don*t know what I was about to say with this subject line *lol* (but I nevertheless think it sounds funny). How have you all been? I hope you are all in the mood for an update~.

Today I wanted to tell you about me suffering from a buying frenzy of some kind. I bought several things, but mainly want to focus on the microphone bundle I got, as well as the sewing magazines I bought, but what should I start with?

The microphone bundle I got at a page called Thomann. I recommend it to anybody who is serious about pursuing his/her music career; and Thomann also offers videos and sound examples of the things they sell :). And no, they didn*t pay me for writing this now, even though it is the second time I ordered something there. *nods* Opening the boxes always feels like Crizzlemas, too!

So, the box contained the microphone "the t.bone SC 450 USB", and a pop killer (That is this net-like thing you put infront of the microphone in order to let it kill the popping sounds of several consonants, and I assume it helps with spitting, too :D ... That is, it helps prevent the microphone from being watered this way ...), and a microphone rack, and a 3-meter-long cable (USB), AND a software (Magix Samplitude11 Silver Sequencersoftware). And, let*s just say, I got all this for a really good price :3.

I shall try the microphone today, and have been wondering about what to sing then ;). I still am not sure ... But we will see; I am just happy to be able to record my singing now!!

As for the sewing magazines; I bought six of them. Now you may say, that*s quite a lot, but four of them came as a bundle, too (All those bundles!!! O___O). These four magazines are the same as a "book", so-to-say. It is called "Leichter Nähen" I think, and was released by Burda. Then I bought the new Burda Style, and another magazine that I forgot the name of (Oh laziness, you don*t allow me to look it up now, do you?!) D:. But the latter also has sewing patterns in it for larger sizes ;) (Well, and so does the Burda Style of course!).

So, now there shall be no more excuses. Except for one : I don*t have that much material to sew D: ... But there are ways of obtaining it really quickly.

And now that the Wave Gotik Treffen is happening and I am sitting at home ... I really want to be there right now!! ;) To everybody attending it : Have a great time!! & greet Leipzig from me~!!
