It's so hard to be a parent who wants to make sure their kids have a good balance of their favorite video games and enough sunshine and outdoor activities.
And it's even harder when the parents themselves love those video games. We bought an Xbox 360 earlier this year and bought Guitar Hero III (including two GH guitar controllers). We became slightly obsessed with the game after playing it at an aunt's house and thought it was a good way for us to all be able to do something together.
The other day I received an assignment for our visit to the Argus Leader. I was to interview Robert Morast, the entertainment editor at the Argus Leader newspaper and write a profile on him. That will be another piece, but something he said was very interesting.
Morast interviewed Otep Shamaya, vocalist from the rock band Otep a while ago.
“She’s really cool, very artistic,” Morast said.
VERMILLION, S.D. --Thursday I was in the Al Neuharth Media Center until 10:30 pm working on a speech article. Boring except for the awesome new music that kept me entertained.
During my writing blocks, I took the time to browse the music libraries on Myspace. I found that new music had been added or music was there that I never experienced.
The album from rock band Otep, The Ascension, released in late March, was available for browsers like me to listen to. A new sound and lyrics about the wrongs of the world blared in my ears and I liked it.
