Getting ready for school, i just went to the used book store and bought 12 more Star Trek books. this brings my total tooooo...26 books. yep, this'll bring me to about november.
it hasn't started yet...won't start for a week...but, today, we have "school orientation day" or whatever. we get our class scheduals, our school pictures taken, and our locker combination.
now, i havent been able to record what's currently playing on my moniter ever since i downloaded audacity. but, i just figured out what the problem is! my audio is hooked up to speakers, not the moniter. i know my computer came with a grean cord that connected my audio to the moniter, so if i can find THAT, i can record the picard song. YES. and you probably didn't know i was having problems, did you? well, i just wasted a minute of your life
well, i'm only on for a few minutes, so i'll be brief:
i'm in chicago, right now. short vacation. missing school monday. (Darn it! every day of school i miss takes a week for me to catch up...) But, i just found out there's a lego store there. B) never been to one of those before...gotta be interesting...
i don't know why i just thought of this, but now, i have a sudden inclination to go to a Family Guy convention and play surfin' bird over the loudspeaker. i don't know why.
recently, my internet has been spotty. it goes down, and each time it does, the time it goes down for increases. last night, it went down at...i think it was about 7...and, according to my signal history, just came back within the hour. and looking at my connection, it doesn't look like it'll saty up that much longer...
what i'm trying to say is, i'm probably gonna fall off the BZP and BS01 radar until i can get this thing fixed. which might be a while, since i've tried everything...the troubleshooter, restarting the computer, disconnecting my antenna and reconnecting it, disconnecting and reconnecting the modem...
yeah, number one on my christmas list is a new modem.
I've reached the point in my life where I've realised that, If i were to assemble and clean up all my bionicle sets and sell them, the total amount of money I would make would pay for a sizable amount of my college tuition.
...And then that inevitable second realisation happens, and I know I would rather keep them.
i found a great song...AMAZING...it's one of the best songs i've ever heard..."Rippin Kittin", by Golden Boy and Miss Kittin. And it's on itunes...Isn't that great?
WHY MUST I ONLY HAVE 91 CENTS IN ITUNES RIGHT NOW!?!?! HOW USLESS IS THAT!?!?!
i did my first performance over the weekend...i did the tubular bellse remix.
it went HORRIBLE. almost anything that could have gone wrong went wrong.
I played parts at the wrong time, the volume was messed up, it played too fast, and the way the speakers were set up made the cymbol sound like a car alarm.
well, my dad is getting married. He is setting up the playlist, i play it. But, he apparently needs the chicken dance. so, i bought it on iTunes, and i am gonna burn it onto a disk. Now, i talked to Dad last night, and one of the things that came up from dad was "you didn't get the techno version of the chicken dance right?" well, i didn't.
a techno band called Dark Materia made a song called "the picard song", and posted it on the internet somewhere. what's cool is that the only talking is from clips on TNG.
