Howdy! So, I reconstructed, with the help of Adam -- HOLLA!(tm) -- the wave file that Paul and Steven gave to me of one of their old songs. I've got some good ideas with it, but think it needs to still be lengthened a bit. I'll also have to spend some time on the lyrics. I don't think any of my existing lyrics will really work well with it, but that's ok -- I'd prefer something original anyway.

I got a new pro-audio sound card for my computer, and with the help of Adam -- HOLLA!(tm) -- all of my home-studio equipment is set up and sounding clean and awesome! I also got my keyboard/piano back (FINALLY), so I've been able to practice a bit with that. MIDI is neat, FYI.

Now, I think it's just a matter of time. My home seems like a constant whirlwind is sweeping through it. I always seem to have some chore or another to do around the house. That's pretty annoying, really, but not much I can do about it since I can't afford a maid/butler/bitch. A big part of me wants to pick up and leave, but is slapped down by the small part of me that signed the papers and decided to be responsible ;)

Someone decided to drive through my front lawn and decimate my fence, and my neighbor's front porch. That's was pretty keen. I honestly thought that 2012 had come a little sooner than anticipated at midnight last Thursday (as the screams of metal on wood and deep reverberation penetrated into my bedroom). That's kind of an interesting experience really. A part of you always wonders if it was really a drunken hit-and-run "accident", or if someone you pissed off in the past did it on purpose. I wonder if I have ever made someone that angry before. Probably.

A shout out to Karl who loaned (haha, I say) me the Death Gate cycle. It's been a fun and entertaining read, and a nice break from other mundane crap. Neat story.

Fuck, people piss me off. Sorry, I just took a phone call at work and I've told this lady 300 times that we'll get out there first thing in the morning. She's like, "we open at 7am... so the sooner the better", and I'm like, "Yeah our tech will be there first thing in the morning. They will call before the get there", and she keeps telling me that they need this technician ASAP, as if their little workstation being down is the most important thing in the fucking universe. Nevermind that just down the street, Dr. Doe's office is on FUCKING FIRE and his entire network is being reduced to ashes, she wants that tech there NOW.

Arggh. *breathes* 1.5 more hours.... 1.5 more hours...
