Okay, so hello mister internet log...

I haven't really been journaling in my book as it is now on the paper/document holder on my desk, for easy transcribing to update the blog. 
I'm having a quick cigarette in between practicing this, crazily hard, "Castlevania: Bloodlines" piano rearrangement.  Another difficult task was to get the Line/level mixer working correctly so that it can record in tandem with the Q2 HD Zoom video recorder. 

I use a XENYXUSB1204 mixer currently, and I had to push buttons a LOT before I could get it recording my piano in audacity.  But, by George, it worked!  When I finally got everything all put together correctly on the mixer, I took a note of what buttons were pushed down, which weren't, etc.  I posted that note to the bottom of the mixer, so in case I get confused in the future, I'll always have some kind of record of what it looked like this time, when I got it to work.

Furthermore, I want to say that "Castlevania: Bloodlines" employs difficult gameplay and DIFFICULT freaking music.  The patterns are so excellent.  I've been pouring over them throughout gameplay and am absolutely ecstatic about my rearrangements.  Mixing all the MIDI instruments of the Sega Genesis down to just one piano and two hands, is quite a task.

What else in the world is going on?  Ah yes, I'm working on the "Desperate Sweet Nothings" box set plus DVD.  That a lot of the preparation that I'm doing with the "Castlevania" music.  It really is quite nice, getting my hands covered in paint, and having fun with "Towers of Bunnies".  I went to CVS and bought some plastic bunnies for a shoot I want to do for the song "oz".  It seems pretty...mayvbe kind of promising.  The original idea was to sketch a bunny, scan it on to my computer and animate it further in photoshop.  Well, "Tower of Bunnies" to the rescue.

It's about 12:40 AM, and I am quite excited about my car purchase.  I can't wait to drive it again.
When I went on my test drive, and signed all the paperwork, I left the "Sologram" CD in the car, so that I would go back for it.  I most definitely will.  It's going to be so sweet.  Hopping into my car for the first time, and automatically hearing some of my most greatest, and latest tracks, bumpin out the sound system.  So cool.  I really think this is going to be really great. INDEPENDENCE BABY.

Ok, my cell phone is chirping, so it's time to roll.  Peace out Internet LOG>?>>?end
