Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Lately, I’ve become bored with school. There’s nothing really interesting at the moment. Sure, there are a few little blips of new-ness, but they are few and far in between. I mean, after this past week of so much happening, the back to the daily grind thing is not working out. With that, university is looking better and better and I keep on thinking about how wonderful it would be to finally be rid of high school. Being faced with Grade 12 is not particularly a pleasant prospect, considering this is probably the year with the mix best teachers I’ve ever gotten. Back to grinding along.
Downloading stuff is fun. I’ve been looking for Hillsong United Live – Look To You and Hillsong and Delirious – Unified Praise for the past day. In my quest to acquire these I also came upon David Crowder Band – The LIME CD, Brian Doerksen – Today, and Mortal – Nu-En-Jin. I love it when I stumble upon things that I want but weren’t searching for. Especially Mortal. I remember looking for it a few months ago. It’s a Christian industrial band. I’ve been looking for it ever since I discovered Andy Hunter back in Atlanta. Good stuff. I was also able to get a high quality set of Star Wars Special Edition Soundtracks off of BT. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
I just spent the last two hours emergeing fonts for lilypond. Holy crap, fonts take a long time to compile. Lilypond is a music engraving system, and I hope to print out a legible copy of my part for Carmen (Bb Clarinet 1). I appreciate all of the stuff Ms. Moroz does, but if I have to read another page of anyone’s handwritten music, my brain will explode.
And now I will cry because my MD requires that an album be transferred overnight. In fact, I’ve just been reminded to go scour the web again to see if any new developments have been made in making Sony’s wonderful little player not suck. I wish I hadn’t bought that and instead got myself a nice Archos Gmini XS200, assuming that all the stores in Canada would start selling it. Ah well. Time to go a-searching.
