Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I'm thinking about quitting my job. One more week like this and I definitely will.
When the school year started, I asked my part-time sacker job for four work days a week, max. For Tuesday and Thursday, i needed my shifts to start later than 4 so i could get there from school on time, and for monday/wed/friday, 1pm. When I DO get those three days off, there's generally no real problem (other than procrastination) and the week tends to go well.
Last week i worked 5 days, this week I'm working 6 days. Thursday my schedule starts at 3pm for the third week out of the five since the semester started when my last class is 30 minutes away and ends at 2:40 (assuming I don't change into work clothes or take a shower so I don't make the customers throw up). I have almost NO time to do homework and my grades are starting to suffer. I have a project to do in Psychology that my group and I don't have time to meet for, two online english classes that I am behind in, and I'm exhausted.Last edited by HalfTangible; 2012-10-02 at 03:33 PM.

Don't wait for a week to quit. Do it now. You'll feel much better about it.

While I hesitate to echo e thiughts of our esteemed Telitubby, I agree. Get your paycheck and give em the notice (I doubt it takes two weeks to replace most jobs nowadays, though.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Just received an email from Auntie Noob because she was reading something - she didn't say what, and was unsure as to what ^_^ meant.
Have spent the last ten minutes writing an emoticon dictionary comprising what I think are the most commonly used emoticons online. Or at least emoticon groups so she can recognise variations on them.
She's adapting fast.
I also know for a fact her new internet box hasn't arrived yet, so she must have been paying attention when I told her how to find her network connections and then hopped onto a neighbour's briefly to show why you need to make your internet secure.
I don't know how to feel about this.
She's growing up so fast. *wipes a tear away*
EDIT:
I'm just hoping I don't have to explain certain acronyms to her. I get in trouble for saying "Damn!" around the house and to my siblings, I don't want to have to tell my aunt what GTFO etc. mean!Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2012-10-02 at 08:25 PM.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Huh. I'm surprised there wasn't a readymade easily found one online.
If she asks about the acronyms you might just have to foist one of them off on her and flee like Zoidberg.
Mooncat, you're making me think of a mixture of Dwarf Fortress and Adventure Time now.
It's kinda weird.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Nothing is over. One day the back door will be left open again, and our love will blossom for another evening in the crabapple tree. Until then, let us keep one another in our fast bean-sized hearts.
Fabulouser and fabulouser. The picture in my mind is a kind of Mad Musician's laboratory. Your techne to be able to fool around with all that technology is another skill I admire, as I have no craft in that area myself.
What are thy music creation tools? A Grand Piano if not a double tailed one, I presume?
This is an example of my playing. I haven't had it tuned since the spring. Please be kind, I am an amateur ;_____;
Also I recorded it with a cucumber, so the sound is not fantastic
I love your description of playing the organ [I didn't quote it for brevity's sake]. Yes, that is the experience I want -- that whole-body experience of the sound.
A lovely dream. May you have it one day. I looked up the word lagom just now, too. A neat concept to reify in a single word.
I enjoy the idea that no house should reach above the treetops. When I picture a city in Sweden, I imagine a mixture of cottagey-quaint and clean, minimalist modern. Is it so? I suppose my idea of Sweden comes mostly from the aesthetics of IKEA, since National Geographic tends to show its nature more than its urban; I apologize if it's an unwanted stereotype!
*hugs again* Thank you, sötnos.
Heh heh heh. I now picture you as this individual:

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
That's the way I normally end up when recording considering cabling starts crossing around me and I usually end up forming a circle between miscellaneous instruments and backed against a semicircle of synths.
As for technology I find manuals to be an interesting reading. The clavinova came with a full manual on using the internal mixer and midi recording (which is how I produce the final versions of sheet music seeing as the paper I write on is normally covered in many and much varied substances such as sulphur, blood and/or pepsi), the Ultranova has a book on its own on what sound IS, how waves work, wave patterns and actual physics to the point I had to sit down with a school teacher to figure out how to actually synthesise sounds (which was in the second part of the manual). Normally everything ends up being in the manual, or I can ask my father about. The only thing where I had to study independently was for recording to a digital medium with which Audacity community was incredibly helpful.
There is no such thing as a mediocre piano, it's just one that needs to find its true sound. It may not be the ideal one for classical, but playing Bossa or Ragtime in it would be extremely appropriate.
As for stiffness it's a dual edged sword but I think time does manage to get rid of it, or of the feeling due to custom.
Has a luthier checked it? Sometimes the brightness is product of bad string tensing. Alternatively the Una Corda could help, though I'm not sure it works the same as I recall in uprights.
That's quite a fine cucumber seeing as the sound is rather good considering it also has video feed.
Your playing is quite energetic and more forceful than the average, though the stiffness might be responsible for the second part; quite good, and not amateurish at all.
My only commentary would be in relation to a feeling of stiffness in the dynamics that transmit to the piece, it feels as if it was somewhat mechanised and the consonance between right and left hand was forced rather than arising from the piece's own movement. I think that it could be the product of trying to fit into the tempo which makes each hand's sound seem less independent which is partially how I normally have heard the piece.
This also could be a factor of going directly to the fugue since the prelude sometimes puts the player in a given mood which is difficult to shake off, and me never having heard the fugue "in vacus" would be conditioned to expect it in the previous atmosphere.
On the other hand Bach did intend most of the DWK to be an exercise book, so a rigorous interpretation is also perfectly valid and the rigidity intentional in conveying the feeling of piece meant to be practised and played and not merely interpreted.
Looketh for churches and asketh for permission. I went around the wholeness of my city asking until I got the Bishop to grant me permission to use the cathedral's organ for one mass after a demonstration on a piano that I indeed could play church music.
The alternative is looking for a colonial town with a church which has an organ in disuse and hope you can finish the piece before they decide that the organ is likely to collapse the church due to trembling.The Iron Avatarist Crypt of Fame - Exorcising photobucket from the historic archives of the forum.
