[Writer/Artist] [Editor/Reviewer]  "It's going to be a lonely thanks giving" Tuesday - November 25, 2008 [Tait] - 21:17:00 My parents visited over today and lets say after 13 years of living with them in the same house for 365 days a year, I am certainly glad I only spend 4 out of the five months to actually stay in that house. I mostly live on my own and have been ever since I was in high school (you know, living in a dormitory private school) sometimes my father can really get on my nerves a lot with how he talks to me. I am an adult and he still somewhat thinks that I am irresponsible with how I do things, and the way he treats me when I get home.... lets not say anything about it. For the most part, I think it should be fun with no one around. I don't have my nagging mother at my back and my brother who hardly communicates with me will be gone with them (may god have mercy on his soul) Anyways I renewed my license today after its been over 30 days since it has been expired (no time to do anything about getting it) and to my surprise I had to take a renewed test. A TEST AGAIN after four years!? Well I had some confidence in doing the test,and past it. When I told my family that I renewed my license all I heard was grunts on the other side of the phone. I asked " Hey what's with all the disappointment?" Turns out they were all betting on me failing the stupid test and didn't contain any hope for me at all for passing and were betting on money that I would miss a certain amount of questions to fail. Isn't my family wonderful! I better start fillin out my list of what to eat on thanks giving, with my luck it wont be turkey, but a home broiled chicken. |  "Its wonderful! Its powerful! If only I knew how to use it!" Thursday - November 20, 2008 [Lt. Pineapple] - 2:02:00 One of the things about getting a new program you've wanted for awhile is what happens when you eventually get your hands on it. So, after saving up a bit, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Logic Pro 8. And it is awesome! My electric keyboard actually works with it on the computer, something I've been trying to get my mac to do since I first got it. For some reason, my keyboard obstinately refused to recognize that, yes, the USB cord that's plugged into it DOES have a purpose. Of course, afterwards I scratched my head for a little while, and decided installed the drivers on it. Now it works like a charm, except for pro-tools, which doesn't seem to want to make friends. The other difference between the two programs is that logic has about a billion different parts, and each part with another billion different parts. I suppose I'm getting my due reward for not paying attention during those MIDI classes, but holy cow! I'm still wondering how people find there way around this. Take a look at the bottom and you'll see what I mean. And to those who know how to use this, I salute you! Anyhow, I'm going to be on this for a couple hours, trying to convert my brain from analog to MIDI. If I don't come back alive, tell them I went down fighting!  |
