Dammit. I apologized to my mom like I said I never would. But only after she did (however sarcastically… she did it anyway.)
Well, I did some “CERTAIN ACTIVITIES” yesterday with Aaron on the hills above my house (no, nothing illegal, actually. We just hung from this tree for a while (I volunteered my dog’s neck, but my dog wasn’t very enthusiastic).
From the hills, I could see the FedEx truck drive up to our house and deliver my long-awaited PIANO~! to find that its DC adapter was cracked. Eh, it still works… Unfortunately, XP finally got to me and made me go out and buy a new soundcard, for neither Turtle Beach nor Microsoft made an XP driver for the old one. Those bastards. I had to get a new one because the software synth that came with XP was too slow to synchronize MIDI input. My new Santa Cruz sound card, though, is VUNDERBAR! It’s got a great MIDI synthesizer, and now Half-Life finally works, so I’ll have fun playing that. And MIDIs will be much easier to make, especially original compositions, because I’ll just be able to play the notes instead of pecking them in.
Pretzel.
