The guilt cycle of games

The addictive and almost compulsive nature of social games, it seems, plays a lot more on guilt-tripping you than being truly enjoyable.
In the day I write about IT, and here's where everything else goes.

Okay after a bunch of tries recording this, I've concluded that I'm not made to voice the "bom pah" as accurately as the Voice Band app requires. The app developers make it look way too easy on YouTube.
All the same, here's Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. I used an acoustic guitar for the backing, with everything else you hear (drums, bass, distorted electric guitar in the chorus) powered by my voice. BAH BAH BAH.
Yay! My first attempt at making a song with the Voice Band iPhone app.
I realise this sounds a total offbeat church choir version of When You Say Nothing At All (especially during the chorus), but I swear the tempo seemed so much faster when that metronome was ticking away during recording. I promise the next one will suck less. This was made in half an hour from downloading the app to figuring it out, so I guess with that out of the way, future recordings should be less speed-bumpy.(Here's the rather unmusical 'score' I typed out as a cue for the bass recording, which was the first layer I started with.)
Third night with Sleep Cycle and I switched it to airplane mode and stuck it at the central spot of my bed between my two pillows, since it wasn't registering effectively at the corner of my bed.
I think this looks like a more accurate reading. And as you can see, it's dreamless, just me passing out interwoven with two spikes of near- awake activity. I'm a mad sleep-talker so I can only assume I was spending those spikes orating.
