QOTD: if you could do it all over again, would you?

No, I think January turned out well enough the first time.

qotd: Thats a multi part question do0d. For the most part "yes" but I'm not chock full of regrets either.

Pro Tools the awesome CPU / Memory Hog. I would use it if it didn't slow me down so much. (and didn't have such a learning curve from my current choice)

Last day of January and I'm broke and rent is going to be late... BUT my tax return will totally bring me back to even in less than two weeks.

Roll Call: Got a call from a friend who has taken a job at a bar that wants to book me every Saturday night. Like, indefinitely. I told her I'd already booked quite a few Saturdays in 2008, and she said "well, can we have the rest of 'em?" So yay! I'm going up there tomorrow to check it out.

QotD: The good has outweighed the bad, so sure! Sign me up for another go-round.

QOTD: Sure, why not. Can I make a few minor alterations along the way?

Miner alterations? Like more hats with flashlights and canaries for your coal mine?

HA! Ummm, yes.......... more hats with flashlights and canaries for my coal mine. What did you think that I meant?

I have a love/hate relationship with recent events. I had a birthday. I wrote almost no songs. I just started working out again. I met a girl online somewhat recently. It's weird and very uncertain, but I'm cautiously enthusiastically optimistic. I like to flirt with disaster. I wouldn't change anything, but then again, I never would.

I do not like autotuners. They make everything sound fake and lifeless. Firmly in the uncanny valley for me. So I only use them sparingly.

I also did not like this month. Goodbye and good riddance.

Here.

Yes.

Reaper 2.100 is out, if any of you use Reaper and don't already know that.

Here I am. This month was unremarkable, but I'd take another shot at any of them if I could. Ain't gettin' any younger.

qotd: if I had all the knowledge I have now, yes. If not, no.

FAWM tomorrow!

I agree. Unremarkable month...and I too am just gettin' older. I did lose a couple of pounds this month though and it wasn't even a New Years resolution or anything.

Good job with the loss of poundage, Hoblit. I know that I've lost several as well but haven't stepped on the scale to see how many. On January 1st, I shaved my head and face and after a month I now look like a scuzzy monkey. I'm pretty sure that by March 1st, people will be crossing the street to avoid me.

I shaved face completely and cut hair to a fraction of an inch just last night. Then I started work on FAWM. WEEEEEEEE. I've started a new workout plan as of Wednesday. We'll see how this other thing goes. Thanks for the words of caution, I guess? I may or may not post more details about that and why I am and am not concerned. In any case, this is going to be a wonderful month of accomplishment. FUCK JANUARY, BITCHES. LET'S RING IN THE NEW SHIT WITH A BANG. KABLAM!

My sump pump failed last night, and there is 1.5 inches of water in my basement.

BAD FEBRUARY, BAD!

at least you have a basement

actually, I don't know what a sump pump is

if I had a basement, it would have water in it, probably

I'm like five feet above sea level

maybe that's a good idea

underwater basement

ouch, jb, hope the musical equipment wasn't still down there.

This happened at an old apartment building I used to live in out there in the ATL. The basement flooded with a couple of inches of water. Which wouldn't have been a problem for tenants except that both boilers, the one for the hot water and the one that sends hot water through the steam registers, were both gas and the pilot lights got snuffed out.
