kamomilWell I went to a lady from work's birthday thingie, on the weekend. It was held north of Dundalk. Wayy out in the country. I peed in the woods, and the mosquitos took full advantage, and I now have bug bites all over my ankles. I'm just glad I didn't brush up against any poison ivy. I am most certainly glad that I didn't get sunburnt. I think if I ever end up with skin cancer, the first place it will hit is the tops of my shoulders; they are so flat under the sun, and they don't make an appearance all the time, and so are unprepared when they do get sun exposure.
I bought Ah Um, by Charlie Mingus. I listened to it on the way to Dundalk. It is pretty good. I like it. It is pretty standard type jazz, nothing shockingly dissonant, yet it is not boring either. I can't get used to the original version of Pork Pie Hat, I have listened to the Uzeb one for almost 20 years, and the timing is pretty different - the Uzeb one is draaawwwwwnnn out.
I bought Bitches Brew by Miles Davis, I have yet to crack it open cause I'm not sure about it.
I have been googling jazz people, and reading up on which "must have" CDs to have. I got the Mingus one I really wanted, but I wanted On the Corner by Miles and didn't see it in the store. Jazz is so well-documented, it was fairly easy to get reviews of several artists' material, and figure out for myself which ones I would enjoy. However for the jazz fusion stuff, I might be on my own; people tend to like older jazz stuff. I will be hunting for Thelonious Monk & Emmylou Harris next. I am told that her Daniel Lanois stuff is not to be missed.
I am *this* much closer to buying a PC. I know, Mac, but my Nokia phone only communicates with PC. Besides, I'm so used to the ones form work that I want a loverly one for my very own. I have become very proficient with DOS FTP on the work PCs, as they have no floppy or CD drives.
Heh I am at work, and I am clone-tooling out subtitles so I can use the graphic for something else. I was working on a graphic of a traffic jam, and accidentally clone-tooled out a truck along with some subtitle characters. LOL

Date: 2005-06-09 02:03 am (UTC)Maybe when they get Windows PCs to run on Mac OS's that would be awesome too. no more blue screens of death?!? But I like XP because I use it at work, it seems pretty stable.
I might go to this place, lakeshore just west of kipling, I prefer the idea of a bricks-n-mortar place to get a computer so that I can bring it back for repairs someday. Otherwise I would check out Dell further. With my crazy work hours it might make things complex for them to repair stuff, do they come to your house???
