Holly's incredibly sick, and i'm starting to lean in that direction myself.
Lisa's last day at work was yesterday. i will never see her face again for the rest of my life, and this gives me a very bittersweet feeling. Bitter, because, y'know, and sweet, because, y'know: it'll just be so much nicer and fresher to be in a space that doesn't contain her foul airs. So long! And that's that. I feel like the book is finally closed, the Bookmark That Wouldn't Go Away having finally gone away.
Been researching beat machines. I think i might like MadTracker, but what's i'd really like is something physical, with buttons and knobs. I really need something versatile. It's hard to believe, after all these years, that my old TR-707 still has the balls to rock, has independent outputs for 8 instruments, MIDI, and can do odd time signatures, while nothing else i've been playing with in the virtual domain can do any of those things. Unfortunately, i'm limited to the otherwise strong samples that came with it, and only 3 levels of dynamics. I need space for a drum kit, but i just don't have that luxury.
I still hate work. I just noticed on my stats that i've been outperforming everyone else this week. By a long shot. Including the blowhards who think they're "Bob"'s gift of SLACK. And unlike many of them, i'm not getting replies from customers that start off with "Did you even read my email?"
