ROCK ON

Yesterday was a pretty stressful day in my business world, and my day was indescribably horrible. Luckily, it was also the release for Rock Band for the Xbox. I’m not really into all this gaming stuff, but my hubby assured me that this game was awesome, and that I would fall in love with it.

He picked up his pre-ordered copy, and we set it up last night. He was a drummer in a former life, and I was itching to sing. (I used to sing all the time, but I haven’t done that in a while.)

This game is SO MUCH FUN. I cannot even describe how much fun this is!!

My hubby ROCKED the drum-set like there was no tomorrow, and I ROCKED the mic, if I do say so myself. All the troubles of the day were blasted out through my mic. I felt like a rockstar. In fact, I was a rockstar.

In case you’re curious, here is one of the songs we did:

This is supposedly the real band, but the resemblance to what was going on in our basement last night is uncanny! You can see me singing lead vocals, and you get some glimpses of my hubby on the drums. For some reason, you can’t see Claire running around and singing into her pretend mic. I’ll have to talk to the videographer about that…

I’m totally kidding. I’m not Shirley Manson, and we aren’t in Garbage. But, last night, the difference was negligible.

Some friends are coming over tomorrow, and all four of us will play. (We have two guitars, the drum-set and a mic.) I can’t wait!

ROCK.
ON.
