Wow. I'm really keeping up to date on this, eh?

So this weekend I tried to record some stuff for new compositions... only to find out that it is not immediately evident that I can still do this in the lab. We have mics on all the monitors which work in theory. They aren't actually picking up any sound, though. We're not supposed to mess with the hardware. We're not supposed to mess with the control panel. This leaves me which options of...? I'm considering attempting to record onto tape or CD and feeding it in... which will be an incredible pain anyhow. The whole situation is going to be annoying.

Went in to watch Mordion's studio session today. Learned a bit about console, two inch tape... other random things. Was asking all these vague questions. Lately it's been Q&A with Mordion. I feel bad, since as friends I feel like we should be discussing other things more often. Well, we do.. but.... Eh. I really wish I were taking some of the courses she's taking... of course mostly their not open to non-majors, I believe. So instead Sound Services and interrogations.

We keep saying that we want a band. We said it again tonight. Cara, Suz, Mordion and I. A vocalist, an oboist, a violinist/guitarist and a flutist. Is it me, or does that look somewhat useless? I have no idea what we'd play even if we did form some odd form of band. And hey! I'm already in two large instrumental ensembles, two choral ensembles and a chamber instrumental group. What do I think I'm talking about!?

Meanwhile... two concerts down.... I'm sure another six or something stupid *at least* to go. Orchestra concert's in roughly three weeks. Don't know if I'm entirely happy about this. I'll have more free time (four hours a week), but... I want to play! Life is so frustrating sometimes.

Haven't quite caught up on Medival Lit reading as yet... *Sigh* I just can't seem to put in time at reasonable hours. I need a schedule. I need someone to keep me away from my computer. Aargh.

As of today I am attempting to get into Tool. Suz and Mordion saw a dance performance with Sober as the backdrop... And Suz started downloading it, and from what I heard, I wanted it. I've liked the stuff I've heard in the past, and it seems to be advocated by all and sundry lately. Well, no, not all and sundry, or I'd skip it. Just some people.

It's one thirty... why aren't I tired? I'm such a night owl.

Suz said she'd go with me to LoGrasso tomorrow to finally deal with the Unspeakable Problem. *grin* Bless you, Suz. *sigh* Really don't want to do it. Hate it hate it hate it. Aarrrrgh. Should get to sleep now so that I can be prepared for the horror that tomorrow will consist of. *sigh*
