I, erm, acquired new music last night. :orly:

Via 100% legal purchase, I'm sure!  :police:

Of course. I wouldn't even know how to locate anything in any other way.

I slept for 12 hours last night.

I do not think I have ever done that in my entire life.

With drugs and drink I have made almost eight hours a few times, but never more than that on my own.

I am at a stage of my life where extra rest would REALLY help my aging joints, but I can not do anything that helps me sleep more than my normal three or four hours at a setting, except to get really drunk.

I have been off of alcohol since January, though. I am not interested in going back down that dark hallway any time soon.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Made a friend's home cinema setup sound (a lot) better by enforcing common sense.

I have been off of alcohol since January, though. I am not interested in going back down that dark hallway any time soon.

I usually sleep for 7-9 hours when I'm taking dexamphetamine and caffeine, and I slept for 12-16 hours a day, split into a couple of blocks, when I took a break from the stimulants recently.  Some of that was rebound, but I used to sleep for 10-12 hours when I was just taking caffeine.

... a sense that does not actually seem so common, in reflection.

Cool that you get a chance to makes someone's stuff work right.

Caffeine is my drug of choice these days.  It is one drug that I can control.

Depending upon how I use/abuse it, I am afforded a whole set of differing affects from which to choose.  (Quantity is the key for me  "One cup makes you smaller and two cups make you tall"  type of thiong)





Right now, after having another altercation in traffic that I could have avoided, I am having a lot of trouble sleeping.  I feel that I have failed to reach a level of calmness toward which I have just been been tested, well, last week I was tested and I failed.

I have an earworm from my sleep, lately.  I generally remember many dreams, but lately I can not - I only remember this song.

It is an ancient - from my youth - Eric Burden and the Animals' song, "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"  I want to find a way for this to mean something to me, but it means so many other things that I can not imagine how it has become such a "burden"  upon me to bear the memory of this song.

It was fun. It was one of those midrange Marantz receivers with Audyssey MultiEQ setup and a measurement mic. The software wanted to output LFE in the fronts, too, which was pure madness. His speakers were fairly small JBLs and it should be obvious that they were never meant to handle anything even approaching that.

Once we let every speaker do their job without trying to share it with the others, it all came together beautifully. Now my friend's problem is a large cabinet full of crystal glasses that starts vibrating whenever the sub awakens. ;D

Had a long talk with my daughter about her anger explosions. And how we can try to find ways to make her get some control over that a bit easier.

Which is as it always should be!


Feels good to help someone, eh? I made the promise to myself many years ago to ONLY give it away to those I care about. I have done a lot for many bands, schools and churches, but since that time, I have never taken a cent for my work.

This promise to myself has allowed me to find new joy from my art, joy that I had thought I had lost forever. I hope that you have found a moment of joy in helping your "friend."

It felt very good. The best part about setting up sound equipment is always the final test, the time when you listen to your favourite test piece and know you got it right. It's never perfect but sometimes it's close enough.

I do help my friends if they ask me.
