IT'S DANGEROUS TO READ IN SORCERER'S BOOKS





Well, good day to you all in the land of screens and modems and wireless connections, etc. I've been messing around with my laptop set up this week. First, on the way back from Bellingham I stopped in Lakewood to purchase a MIDI keyboard. It will be used to control the sounds I've been making in Cubase, the music software program that I use. It works fine but I still have more to learn as far as making it do what I want. It's confusing how there are so many steps just to get one knob to do one thing. If I was a programmer I think I'd make sure you could always right click on something and have a menu drop down that gives you the entire list of options. Wouldn't that be nice? Yes, yes it would be. I did also make a trip to staples yesterday with my friend JR to look at random access memory. Well, not only did I look but I even purchased 512 mb of the stuff. After I installed it my computer was instantly speeding around everything and I was quite surprised. I guess that's what it is supposed to do, right? So, I'm getting closer to having a live music worthy laptop, I think that my soundcard isn't good enough though. Anyone have a really nice soundcard that you can give me? That would be gerat.t.t..t. Anyway, it's all coming together, whatever. um, This weekend the Lewis family spent time in Bellingham because Theodore was being baptizezzzzzzz and We all stayed with Andy and Sarah at their mansion. It was a nice time of eating, walking, seeing, and peeing. I will be working full timish at Kelly's cafe starting tomorrow, so I better wash my black pants. oooo, on Friday I was lucky enough to see Miho Hatori perform at the Crocodile cafe in seattle. Chris and I went there pretty late hoping to miss some of the other bands and I guess we did. IT was crazy though, the show wasn't over until about 1:45 or something like that. Miho was totally excellent though. If you would like to listen to her music just go to www.myspace.com/mihohatori and listen!
I should go, i need to take a walk around these forested roads before I stay here much longer and anger myself with incompetence. Take care of yourselves!

Hi, T. I didn't want this post to go comment-less. Good luck with all your music-ness. I have been listening to some on My-space. Is that pretty current?
