Yah Yah.

So I'm at Schmuck's now. good stuff, I introduced him to IFilm, and I think I created an addict. I showed him the Viral Video section, which, if you don't know, is on a balance of funny, nostalgiac, and horribly disgusting at the same time. One minute, you're watching goats fainting by genetic design, the next you're seeing William Shatner doing either Rocketman or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds or even a cute cat being decapitated (that means its head gets cut off!......)

At least there's an outlet where reality can be displayed.

So, in in a few hours, I will be teaching high-school kids how to play the drums. Fun. hopefully I won't treat them too badly, but typically, I'm a softie.

No sympathy for the Devil.

Buy the ticket; Take the ride. (-HST)

Shpadoinkle

OK, not much has been going on here. I've pretty much turned into a hermit while job searching, so I haven't been going out or seeing anything interesting lately, though I will be going to see Star Wars III later today. After that, maybe heading out to the burbs for the weekend.

I signed up for a shady bartending deal, but hopefully it'll work out well. Lots of bars are hiring right now, so this looks like something I can get my foot in the door with. Its basically a bartending school without the school. I get the materials and train myself, which is easy enough, then once I pass the test they do the placement stuff. Hopefully I can find something that won't require a car, but who knows. Chipapitabley, as they say.

That's it. Try not to lose your Shpadoinkle.

Pigg Pharmin'

FINALLY! The recording gig is getting back on its feet.

After months of troubleshooting and excuses and equipment changes and blah to the blah to the blah, Pigg Pharm (our "studio's" name) is ready to go.

We finally got working software at the studio, and the extra bonus is that I also got a copy of that software and I can use my OWN computer to make beats and music at my own leisure. I still have to figure out how to use the software, but I already have a good start after only a coupla hours.

Where this will all lead, I don't know. Britta's own ability to make her art work for her is inspiring enough to let me think that maybe I can live off the profits (provided I get a girl to support most of my way....without those crazy children thingies.) Sorry B, cheap shot. Moo. Moo moo. One good thing about being in Chicago is that there is a good music community, and we have some good links into that community. Another good thing is that I and my colleagues tend to be perfectionists, and won't put out a product unless its good. Yet another good thing is that I know how to deal with perfectionists and make them put out a product in decent time.

Overall this Friday the Thirteenth was a good one

p.s. go see Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy if you haven't already. It be gooooooood.

Call me Stupid

Apologies for the light posting. No job, but unavoidable setbacks (zits, colds, etc...) are to blame. Thus I am just avoiding all of you and jobs equally.

Anyways, in relation to the title of this post, I just realized the TV Batman theme is based in Rimsky-Korsakoff's Flight of the Bumblebees.

Yeah, sometimes I'm slow.
