I must admit, this song challenge is pissing me off. >< The whole thing has been a disaster. I have no idea how it came to be like this, but it has nothing to do with me. I suggested a techno song to make it simple for everybody but somehow the song got kidnapped and we've come up with these insanely complicated lyrics in a 4 minute song. Don't think I don't have my eye on those people. I only wished I had saved that giant chat (it was on AIM b/c gaim wasn't working so it wasn't logged) so I could check back whose idea this trainwreck was.


Techno: simple, repetitive, loop that sounds good. Honestly, is it that hard to make a techno beat? It's a lot easier than creating the tune to "I Will Survive" instrument-by-instrument via online postings of music. Come on! Who the hell's idea was that?


I know there is a deadline that must be met (thanks Andy for lecturing us on that fact every three minutes), but if only we worked from the start of the challenge with that chat on Monday like I wanted we would have a passable piece of music by now. Creating a piece of crap like this is bound to end up as is just disgraceful. Seriously, this is the last time I ask for advice and not just push my way through.


There was just no way I was going to attempt to "sing" Gloria Gaynor to this monstrosity of music. No way, no how. I've explained my reasons on the board, in private conversations, and even in public chat. I don't give a fuck if that means you think I'm the Mole (in fact, that's probably a good thing!). I have more than four quarters within arms reach I'm not using that I'll feel free to send to the winner if we fail this.


Still trying to salvage this mess, I downloaded like five text-to-voice programs and fed the song through them. After an hour of hassle I managed to figure out how to convert it to a .wave file and upload it onto the Internet (that in itself took a half hour). Now I've been on GAIM for two hours looking for somebody, anybody to get online so we can get everything together and make sure it works. Nobody in sight.


Maybe I'm just being bitchy. But with two moles (decoy might as well be a freaking second mole) they're really fucking this up. The only positive I see is that I am forced NOT to select my top mole candidate and only answer them - they could be the decoy. So at least the format of this prevents me from being overconfident and making me lose. Thanks for the help Travis. :-)
